Was on GLP so much one day, about 2 weeks ago, my computer of 6 years was no longer operable. What I deemed a dead CPU, but could potentially any number of things. I decided that I was going to buy a new one! I also wanted to save money. I have setup servers in technical classes, but I've never built a whole system from scratch.
I found this video, after doing a bit of my own research on builds out there.
This was exactly what I was looking for! My old PC may have crapped out, but I still had 2 hard drives, and a graphics card! I took it as an opportunity to save money.
The case was on sale for forty bucks, and it's a very nice big case. For the PSU instead of the CX430 I went with the CX600. Simply because I needed the extra PEG connector(2 for the graphics card), and since the case has so many HDD slots the extra SATA power connectors are great! I also grabbed 2 x 4 gbs of RAM instead of the suggested 2 x 2 in the video.
I left out a few bits like the optical drive, and a wifi adapter. So all I got was just the APU, MOBO, RAM, PSU, and the white NZXT Source 210 case!
When It got here I had already watched enough videos to not have to hesitate or look anything up. I was done very swiftly. Got it in the case, and it looked beautiful!
I'm not all that wealthy, and I don't have any friends. It's safe to say I've actually never seen a computer that was this high end.
It's not the latest, but nothing stays the latest for long anyhow. I bought at what I saw as an opportune time, I filled my needs perfectly, and saved money!
What do you all think?!
The white case is really my favorite part. Who wants a boring old black computer anyway?
