:S

Is that a joke or..?

[N!ck]

What drive did you buy? I've never heard of one that's not the standard size :S. You sure you're not just putting it in wrong?

Edit: I probably wouldn't have gone for that motherboard, but meh.

[Fehm]

Looks aweome tbh! :) Tell me how the putting it together bit went?¬! :)

Thats what I thought nick! Sadly though the drive is about 2cm longer than it should be. Might be because it is bluray? But yeh I assuemd they were all one size :P http://www.ebuyer.com/product/139985 - thats the drive :(

The motherboard was better than the one I went for originally, but I hope it will do :)


Looks aweome tbh! :) Tell me how the putting it together bit went?¬! :)


It actually went really well! Not too many problems, only hard bit was putting the screws in to tighten the motherboard down as it was so tight :D

The Keyboard and Mouse is really nice. Nice leather rest on the Keyboard, and the mouse fits a hand FANTASTICALLY. I would highly reccomend.

[N!ck]

Too long as in if it's in properly the cables don't fit as the PSU is in the way? Are you sure it's a big case.

Judging the dimensuions of the drive and case there should be plenty of room between it and the PSU.

No Nick, it generally wouldn't fit in. My other drive is like 2cm smaller than the bluray one and it fit in the slots perfectly, but the bluray one wouldn't. I'll try and get some pictures at some point tomorrow :)

I would like to say:

"My name is and I am NOT 'Smarter Than a Ten Year Old'"

:D

God knows why but I can fit it in now! :D I couldn't get it in for some reason earlier :P

Ah well, thanks Nick :P (Thats great. I can put together the harder stuff yet I failed to do the simple bit :D)

Lol, hang your head in shame.

[AgnesIO]

I would love to know why I failed earlier :P Everything but that stupid drive :P

I do have a question actually :o Where does the screen plug in? I think that bit comes when I do the Graphics Card? (Am I right in thinking that the screen plugs in through the graphics card?) As atm there is no place for the lead to plug in :D

---

My next set of pictures will be at like 3:00pm tomorrow, as I have a guitar course till 1:00pm then (hopefully) the rest of my parts have arrived!

---

Even better is I was gonig to try and get the drive sent back but I missed the phoneline by 4 minutes, as they stop helping at 6:00pm :D So I couldn't get it sent back :D

[N!ck]

Yes it plugs in to the graphics card. You msy need a DVI to VGA adapter (the card should have come with one).

Or you can buy a DVI cable as the monitor has a DVI port.

Lol something always seems to go wrong

When I was fitting in my graphics card I forgot that it actually clips into the end of the PCI E slot and when I tried to get it out I was wondering why It just wouldnt budge, I then heard a massive crack as the clip on the PCI E port broke :<
My graphics card still sits snugly in place, I'm just lucky that the whole port didnt rip off lol.

:D

The other thing I forgot with the Drive is because when doing it I had the front of the case taken off, you forget that there will be some leeway between the case and the front (like the front bit sticks out a bit)

EDIT: I forgot to put the stickers on aswell, so I probably won't get to put my little stickers saying stuff like 'Intel Quad Core Inside' :( :D

[Metric1]

I like the case! The specs look good (judging from my limited computer knowledge!)

lmao I did the same rofl, I thought that I would put my DVD drive up flush with the inside metal frame but it actually has to come out about a cm to an inch
And the stickers? They go on the outside case dont they? I put mine on the side of the case.

EDIT: more photos plz :D

Yep happened to me :P

And yeh they do go on the outside but I forgot to put them on (and think I have got rid of them >:{)

[Jordy]

Static mat really isn't needed, the packaging for the mobo will be anti-static and sufficient. After spending a week work experience repairing computers you quickly learn that all the "omg static" stuff is really exaggerated, just be sensible and 'earth' yourself occasionally and rest the motherboard on the anti-static packaging.

[Stephen!]

Yeah, but it probably makes him feel better. Understandable.

I mainly got the AntiStatic mat for building. Stops any dirt or dust getting on the components from the carpet.

I have no intention of having it when I put it on the shelf on my desk!

[N!ck]

You shouldn't build off a carpet. Ideally a table, or even a bed does the trick.

[Recursion]

Should have got a modular PSU, put that Intel HSF the right way up and do some cable management mr!!

Cables is because its not done yet, so I haven't sorted everything out :P

Power Supply I got through reccomendations by fairly good techies on this forum :P And whats the wrong way up? :P

[N!ck]

Yeah it's a good PSU. Modular means the excess power cables that you don't use aren't connected so not hanging around - like in that picture I posted earlier. It's just a tidyness thing really.

With the orientation I think he's referring to making the Intel logo the right way up.

Ahh. Not important then :P Not too bothered about lose wires and power cables as tbh, they are hardly hurting me :D

And picky sod Tom! My heart is hurting, the label the wrong way up :P

As long as you cable manage nicely so they're not restricting airflow then all is well.

And it's not picky I would say the same if I noticed. Attention to detail ;).

How much for this PC?

[jam666]

Hmm i added the prices he said up with a calculator and it came to over £900!!!!

Really really sorry to reign on your parade but you could of got an i7 for that price.

Not properly.

[jam666]

i know i took into account things such as monitor / tuner cards but still, a much better system could of being bought for the price.

[J0SH]

This is what, your fifth thread? It's a crap build thanky and I doubt anyone is really excited about seeing it..

Stick to one thread, Jesus Christ.

[jam666]

Afraid i have to agree with Hatchet, infact ive just specced a pc for a friend of mine (£700 budget) but the parts came to around £656, the system was an AMD system.. Your system (the barebones cost £658) just saying that there is more viable and future proof / better options available for the price, ill post the spec later.

[Recursion]

That's because it's AMD. And also, to do i7 properly you need about £1500 :/ So IMO he got a good computer.

I am a picky sod :P PUT THE INTEL LOGO THE RIGHT WAY!!!! :(

£1064 including the screen, bluray player, tv card (freeview), decent keyboard+mouse, and obviously the other stuff.

No you couldn't. i7 (without getting rid of my other parts) would have put the price up by another £125 - £150 ~ and imo thats not worth it. i7 is still quad core.. :rolleyes:

But if you prefer intel then AMD is useless.. :rolleyes:

I was thinking its nice that nobody has came in to flame this thread, but its not my fault some people keep doing it - if idiots didn't keep trolling my threads THEN I WOULD NOT NEED TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE. Well bloody done :rolleyes:

And tbh for what I will use the PC for, I don't need a better spec than I have. Its a custom PC (easy to edit thnigs at a later date) and I have taken into account what all the people that know what they are talking about have said (unlike half the people that come in flaming.

Oh and also thanks for the -rep - next time be hard and show your name. Wimps.

On a nicer note thanks to everyone who has been helpful during the process, and not just come in looking for an arguement :)

Repped for that post.

[Jahova]

Looking very good but to be honest.. You may as well have bought a £500 mesh that comes pre-built, with blu-ray, with a better (dual core) processor, with a decent monitor, not bad graphics card (upgradeable), professional cabling and all professionally installed, etc. That's for half the price!

I fail to see this?

[Jahova]

Mesh website, click a base model. Add all the stuff like blu-ray, dual core, which is what he's paid for. And then it won't come to more than £600. Also, by installed (as I said above), I meant professionally built.

Edit: Never saw he had quad core, but it would still be a damn good deal and much cheaper than what he has paid. I'm being no troll, I am stating the obvious here.

[N!ck]

The only way you'tr getting a better computer cheaper is parts off eBay or wholesale.

I now see why the price is so high. But I'm still sure that he could get the same spec build for much cheaper.

One thing i would say though, if you have any money left over, you could perhaps buy another 260 and sli them together. (you might have to buy a new PSU depending on the power output of the graphics card).

No Blu-Ray DVD Drive, bit of a lame case, an ATI 4850? Ew (also PowerColor? Never heard of them) and less RAM, no TV tuners etc.

First of all, know how much a Blu-Ray drive costs? Lol.

IMO You can't compare that i7 build to Dom's build.

I purposely did not include TV tuner cards in this spec as it is being compared to doms base system alone, excluding Blu-ray and tv tuners etc. 8gb is pretty much overkill, the 6GB i specced very decent for an I7 build as its DDR3 and runs at 1333mhz. The case is pretty decent for the price although you could spend £40 more and get whatever case you want, same goes for the graphics card, spend an extra £20-40 and your sorted.

However, i did spec the best bang for the buck.

I have this monitor:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0017PBPTC/300002708-21/?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
Its a bit different as it is a TV and a PC monitor so it has all the component cables and other stuff I wanted to be running digital tv, my xbox 360, wii and PC. If I was looking for just a PC monitor I would have picked your exact one, these latest Samsung ones really are brilliant lol.

I have to say that that Antec 300 case is actually really good, Im using it on my current PC and althought it doesent come with stuff like a clear side view of your pc like the 900 case does its really good and does exactly what I needed it to do. My bro has a clear acrylic case that he used for his £1500 + build and my case has exactly the same stuff as his, its just not clear lol, cost him alot more.

IMO You can't compare that i7 build to Dom's build.

Thanks!


I purposely did not include TV tuner cards in this spec as it is being compared to doms base system alone, excluding Blu-ray and tv tuners etc. 8gb is pretty much overkill, the 6GB i specced very decent for an I7 build as its DDR3 and runs at 1333mhz. The case is pretty decent for the price although you could spend £40 more and get whatever case you want, same goes for the graphics card, spend an extra £20-40 and your sorted.

However, i did spec the best bang for the buck.


Yeh there are still a few faults in that one! As you say. I went for better quality (and I hope its what I got :D)

----

Finally I have everything running except the screen?

It comes up with 'Digital' in the top left corner then changes to 'Analog' and it keeps doing that, then sometimes it comes up with 'Signal could not be found'? Everything is plugged in etc.

Any ideas?

---

The case works really well, but I might need to get some Sound Dimming bits, as the graphics card is VERY powerful to say the least :D

[Zokoli]

Dom, try ringing eBuyer [if they have a contact number] and explain your problem, they will probably be able to troubleshoot it from there.
Apart from that, great build!
I would consider getting a back up hard drive though, incase anything may go wrong with the 1TB one and you lose your data.
Nice case, it's a big bad boy eh? :P

Great work Dom! ;)

Also, was it easy to build the computer as I am thinking of building my own, and I have got some experience but not a lot, I know when you got the mobo in that's pretty much sorted from there as it's pretty straight forward ie; RAM, graphics card, sound card.

^_^.

Blu-ray = £80 = £786
Ati decent GCard = £120 = £906
TV tuner = £40 = £946
RAM = Better performer as it's DDR3?

That system would have been better to buy in my eyes. Just my opinion.

Yep I will probably ring ebuyer later (after guitar course) and ask about it, as all the main parts are from eBuyer :)

I have a backup hardDrive on my current 'family shared' computer, I'll probably nick that one as I am the only person that everr back stuff up :P

About building. To be honest it is very easy to build. Anything you are unsure on is in the motherboard manual (easy to read etc), and considering most of this forum said I would never build it (and its been built in about 8 hours) it can't be that hard :D

You might get a few problem along the way which can easily be fixed (the motherboard or something wasn't working with me, still wasn't working qwith nothing on it, we unscrewed it and it worked :P So we screwed it back in and it works fine!) So dopn't expect for everything to go perfectly, but nothnig should go horribly wrong!

EDIT: Tom I am not against people giving ideas, just some users (both of which are banned :P) try making other ideas. I purposely built custom to makwe it easier to upgrade etc, and my motherboard can hold DDR3 ram. My problem was I had so many bits I really wanted, but I didn't want to go over £1050 so I was already over, and didn't know what to scrap :P Still whats done is done :)

[Zokoli]

Thank you Dom ;)

+rep if possible.

[Jahova]

Ok Dom. I see your reasoning. Good luck in the future, with your build.

What do you mean the screen isn't working? Is it the computer not outputting an image or the screen? You need to be more specific. Test the screen on a different computer and a working screen on this computer. Has it ever worked?

Sounds like something is broken.

Start bare-bones external to the case and slowly add parts until it doesn't work.

We havent got an onboard Graphics Card so we cannot take the Graphics Card out! How do we know if thats broken?

[Stephen!]

Make sure you have the 4PIN 12v cable plugged in (The plug next to the top left of the processor) If it isn't, your GPU may be screwed.

I'll check that in 5-10 minutes :)

Well yeh :P But you cannot plug a screen in without a graphics card plugged in :P

EDIT: Stephen when I plug in the 4PIN 12v cable it makes the computer restart itself each time. Like it turns off and back on until you remove it.

[Stephen!]

You CANNOT use the computer without it. So the problem must lay somewhere else. PSU maybe?

[Recursion]

Have you got the 6 pin PCI-E cable(s) plugged into the graphics card?

Your computer cannot boot if you don't have that 4 pin 12v cable plugged in, it provides essential power to (I think) the CPU so your PSU might be buggered.

[N!ck]

:S you didn't have the 4 pin power connector in? You may have broken something, but I don't know what. Do what I said. Test the system barebones outside of the case.

[AgnesIO]

And yeh the 6pin is plugged into the graphics card.

I don't think it's the PSU. It takes a lot to break a Corsair.

Your motherboard could be short circuiting on the case and the extra power would make it worse. That's another possible explanation. You need to build the PC bare-bones outside the case. It may be effort but it always finds a solution for me.

I am fine with the effort :)

And ok. Sadly I go to my Spanish holiday home (not the one i live in :\) on sunday xD My sisters boyfriend will be around though :P I think it might be the motherboard, as we have tested everything else, and I refuse to believe I need to get a smaller graphics card :D I love my one xD

[Recursion]

Just take it out, clear a desk and set it up outside the case on there, hopefully you can get it running by Sunday! Hopefully you won't have any problems with any of the hardware, my Gigabyte P35C-DS3R mobo died after a month of use on my rig :(

After phoning eBuyer they want the Mobo, PSU, RAM, and Processor back to try and find out whats not working lmao.

[Agnostic Bear]

Christ almighty your neighbour sounds like an idiot.

Tell me exactly what the problem is and I'll see if I can fix it.

When I say exactly I mean down the the finest detail; i.e did you even let 1 drop of sweat onto the mobo fine.

[N!ck]

FGS, it's probably not the PSU. I have had a similar problem before and it was the mobo shorting on the case.

BUILD IT OUTSIDE THE CASE BAREBONES BEFORE YOU SEND ANYTHING BACK. Just to make sure otherwise you're wasting time sending stuff back.

You can work out what is broken if you build it barebones.

Sit the motherboard on the antistatic packaging that it came in with the processor, graphics card and just 1 (one) stick of RAM in it. Connect the two power plugs into the motherboard. Connect the power switch from the case and the internal case speaker if there is one. Plug a monitor in. Turn on. If it posts it works and everything in there is fine. If there is a CPU, PSU, RAM, motherboard or graphics problem you may get a beep from the case speaker. Depending on the beep pattern that can tell you what is wrong. It may not beep at all though.

If it works fine turn it off and start slowly adding more things, testing it each time you add something. If it breaks when you add something it's probably that that is broken. If you get everything in and it works fine then it's the motherboard shorting inside the case ;).

[jam666]

Sounds to me like a motherboard issue. I had a similar issue and it was the motherboard as it had failed (unknown reason as it had been working fine for 2 years then just decided to die)

Can i just ask, you did put your motherboard on standoffs didnt you? as if you didnt and you screwed it directly into the case... then bye bye motherboard and its probably the reason it wont boot.

[Agnostic Bear]

EDIT: Stephen when I plug in the 4PIN 12v cable it makes the computer restart itself each time. Like it turns off and back on until you remove it.

That just sounds like your mobo is shorting, if your motherboard is touching the case in any way, then you've done something wrong and need to start again. Take it out the case, put it on a box (repeating this thread 100x) and plug everything in. If it works, your problem is you're not screwing it into the case properly, if it keeps doing it, your mobo is fried.

[jam666]

right remove the motherboard from the case and TEST IT. whilst doing this, check the case for burn marks and this will sound strange but smell your motherboard and case for a burning smell. If one is present, the motherboard has been short circuited due to not being screwed in correctly therefore you need a motherboard replacement.

[Stephen!]

He has done this.

Fit isn't it!

I love the four USB ports on the front, looks really good. When you set up your pc, did you realise the fan cable was behind the second cover (the side without the window) :P

If you know what I am talking about? :D

[Pyroka]

Yeah I knew, ive tried to get most of my wires trailing into there. Tbh I need to do a little wire maintenance but yeah, its the cable management system :P Also theres little holes with ridged lines of metal above them, get some cable ties and tie your wires to that, looks well good. (Y)

My case only just fits the GFX card, ZOTAC GTX260. Its biiiig LOL. Only thing i found dodgy with it was the silver panel you put in at the back to cover the audio ports and that. Really tacky and looks a right eyesore.

Yep my 856mb Graphics Card is fairly hard to get in, especially with PSU wires in the way haha :D And yeh I was sent about 40 cable ties (everything I bought they seemed to think I would need about 10 cable ties for 5 wires..)

:D

[Pyroka]

Yeah my graphics card is probably exactly the same size as yours as its a GTX260 too. I've got a 850W PSU and the wires on it are HEFTY. I mean theyre like... wow LOL. Made out of iron, will not bend. All my wires are tucked at the bottom tbh, but I need to cable tie them, then stick them down because serrriously theyre insanely hard to even twist. It's like titanium wire protection. For my PSU I have to like tilt it in a weird angle and then pop it in. One thing good about the case is the HDD and IDE(?) holders, theyre great. The handle is good too. :P

I think 8GB for RAM was severely unnecessary, you should've just got like DDR3 memory instead, it costs around the same as that for 4GB and it's gonna phase out DDR2 eventually... I like the mobo, I think... meh I wouldn't care, as long as it all fits innit :P Good hard drive, even better screen, although I'm just gonna buy a BenQ 24" screen which is cheaper, same res and seemingly better than the Samsung you bought :P

Intriegued about the Processor.. but fair play. Yeah you've got a pretty rocksolid setup there, I just think it went a bit iffy on the Processor, plus the fact you aint getting a custom CPU fan, uhhh... Yeah the RAM is a bit unnecessary too but no gripes about it other than that, it'll play most stuff imo. You should've invested in a SSD, they're doing them for £100 at Novatech, 64GB but theyre like LIGHTENING loading speeds. They'd take full advantage of the RAM you have.

BenQ is a good choice. They're a beautiful monitor and they're really high spec aswell - for the price.

[N!ck]

They don't lose much read performance, and you can get the write performance back by doing a special type of reformatting (can't remember what it's called).

The one that may not have worked has been sent back to eBuyer (sister texted and said it has been collected)

Hopefully all we be good by the time I am home!

I've been following the thread, and I'm very interested by it. I've been thinking of building myself a desktop, but I just need a basic one that supports PCI-E. Good thread Dom :)

eBuyer are probably trying to save a load of hassle. They could have sent them back and they could have not worked again at your end, which means more costs for them, sending the parts back and forwards and replacing more parts.

Sister has just phoned.

eBuyer have said that there was a faulty part, I asked her what one (she knows jack about computers) and is going to get Mark (boyfriend) to phone, as she didn´t know what they were on about.

They are also not sure if they have resent the parts :/

So at the moment I am not sure what is going on. On eBuyer it says that the motherboard is being sent out, but god knows what is going on. Sadly atm it is out of my reach. Just hoping they send back ALL the parts I gave, and not just the mobo :P

Maybe idiots like you could stop trolling my thread.

We're not trolling, we just hate the sheer amount you update and post useless information that would be better suited on twitter.

Nobody (who is serious about technology) cares about your build, what we (serious about technology) care about are (for example); the amount of shaders on the 5800 series cards due to be released, how much S/N the latest soundcards have, what innovations AMD/Intel will come up with. Not you building your rig and furiously failing because

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT METAL TOUCHING METAL WHILST PLAYING WITH ELECTRICITY = OH CHRIST WHAT THE HELL WHY IS THIS THING ON FIRE. At least I think that's why your computer broke apparently you are giving 20,000 reasons.

Oh we also care furiously about DX11 due to tessellation which is awesome and rad and will literally change the way you look at games forever with it's fantastic everything, think aa brought you smooth curves and nice looking characters? think again man, tessellation will make AA look like ps2 graphics. also DX11 speed upgrades will be ~*rad*~

Not at all. I would be pulling my hair out over this.

Whoa you fail at life :rolleyes:

1) Uhh I said the mobo was faulty in previous posts.
2) they got attacked w/ a DDoS, not hacked

Sadly I can´t help that atm :D I am actually sort of happy I am on holiday, otherwise I would be sitting there like "I WANT THE PARTS" :P

So uh yeah, please think before you post! Actually don't, and don't.


You just said it was me failing at putting it together, apparently you were wrong - JB was wrong oh dear :/

I have had to order a different motherboard (10 pounds more expensive) due to the one I had originally being out of stock, but since eBuyer couldn´t determine how long it would be until a new one is in stock they said you can order a different one or wait. So i ordered a different one :P

Cheers Wolf and Stephen :)

I havent posted 12?

I think you will find they were CLOSED, hence why there have been more than one. Unlucky x

[Pyroka]

Not to be obvious, he obviously meant he'd just post 12 threads just to annoy you and show how it feels.

I don't think he was insinuating you have posted that many, he was just insinuating its as ******* annoying as 12 threads.

Agreed and the answer is simple it somebody is not interested in a post then
don't read and don't post otherwise it could look as if some members are causing arguments just to get the thread closed. Thanks. :)

But then that would also invalidate forum rule A15, do not bump threads. What you're saying is that posting in a thread does not force people to view it but threads get closed because theyre bumped, and spam the forum up. You spam the forum up.

So yeah, you're wrong there.

[AgnesIO]
