Something like that, it was €99.

The product is demo-used/replacement from supplier and may have marks from screws in fittings etc.
Wrappings might be worn or incomplete.
Wonder if i can step up?

Hehe.. nice. I ride XC bikes. But I favour all-mountain style trails and I sometimes hang out with my road bike friends and do like 40km+ trips. What bikes to do have??

I would suggest Samsung, Dell, Gateway or BenQ. You cant go wrong with those. Get a 24'' of you have the budget.

kwl thanks for the advice both of you

( and i have an azonick evo 2 runing hope m2 205mm disk from and back and magura phoan forks geting so mazochi 55's thogh when pc is finished)

does any one think that upgrading to an amd x2 6000+ from a x2 5200+ money is tight as im only 16 and would it be worth water cooling my system ???? also would a thermaltake 750w modular be a good choice so i can get rid of the termaltake front sli powersuply.

I''m pretty new to the forums and thought of posting my rig as sort of an introduction. I know some of the cables are in the way and not managed right, but they're just too short, especially the 8 and 24 pin.
Fortunately, it''s not that visible with the side panel on.

Case Outside


Case Top


Case Inside 1


Case Inside 2

Monitor (soon to be replaced with 22'' widescreen)

as promised, pics of the recent build... sorry for the delay, been playing fallout3, crysis warhead, far cry 2 and dead space... not to mention tf2 with eye candy FINALLY!

to be honest, this went smoothly (nothing usually does for me) and the machine is stable... not really hating vista64 yet... it's been behaving after some tweaking.

also, i am not one for insane 'cable management' and i don't have the patience that some of you guys obviously do... so if it's not up to your standards of neatness, well... sorry.

you can imagine my excitement...



big ass cooler









starting to come together here..


ok to keep to rules, continued in next post
