    new build moves into the realm of reality rather than fantasy

    Well after several weeks of collecting components I have finally assembled them to make my long threateed build a reality.
    Components assembled were as follows.

    Antec 1200 case
    Asus P6TD Deluxe motherboard
    I7 - 920 processor
    Titan fenrir CPU cooler {Red edition}
    3 x 2gb Corsair Dominator GT 1866mhz Ram
    Enermax Revolution 85+ 1050w psu
    1st of 3 x Samsung F3 Spinpoint 1tb HDD (Raid 1 + Backup)
    1 Crucial M225 SSD (boot drive)

    Interim GFX card - Asus 5770. (to be replaced with 5970)
    Interim 24 X DVD RW (To be replaced by Blu ray drive)

    I have not bought the Windows 7 OS yet so I have not tried switching on. Will do this on the weekend.
    Couple of pics to be going on with in the meantime. (attached)

    First ever build and so I took my time and probably asked more questions than necessary, but better safe than sorry.
    Hopefully, once OS installed and new monitor, Keyboard etc sorted out, Overclocking fun can begin.

    never had a problem with mine. my 4pin motherboard power cable just about makes it under the graphics card and right to the top of the motherboard. some people say it's noisy because of the 'open' nature of the case but i found mine fine, even when i had the stock intel cooler. the only annoying thing i found with it is the 24 thumb screws you have to undo to clean the dust filters.

    Looks great and it'll last you aaaages! Why the 5770 at the moment? Are the 5970's out of stock everywhere?

    I also find that the Hovis Best of Both series works well, dont overclock it though or it will toast.

    PS. Nice build, I love cases which are black inside for some reason.

    Have you ordered a pair of Dell 3008WFPs to go with it?

    not yet. i was considering doing 3 27" ultra hi def screens in eyefinity instead when i get my 5970.

    The 5770 is merely because Redders had it up for sale and I will put that in my old rig when i get the proper card.
    I will get the 5970 in March probably.

    As for bread, we dont normally have any, so that was a rarity
