OK, it's that time of year where I get confused over what day of the week it is. I have a vague feeling that its back to school on Monday. Therefore, what better than to start building a new pc in the middle of the night! Got a lovely big case with some really good ideas about cable routing since I last did a build. Power supply goes downstairs, well away from the cooler in this set up. As usual I managed to fit the IO shield upside down first try and then trapped the fan cables behind it on the second. I knew I had a spare, new DVD writer from years ago in my big box of redundant computer bits but was disappointed when I found out it had a white front panel. Then ecstatic to find in the box a spare front panel in black. One hour later I had successfully fitted the black panel without breaking anything. Tomorrow - take a deep breath and rip out the PSU, HD and GTX970 out of my old system and bung it in here with all the rest of the gubbins and then I expect I'll have to 'phone my mate Bill Gates so he can have a rummage in there too. Hopefully....... Oh yeah; as you can see, it's an SLI capable board. Do you think I should mount the graphics card in the top or bottom slot? The CPU is going to be liquid cooled and I'm not sure yet whether the radiator is going to be bolted to the fan next to the left hand side or one of the two fans that live in the top of the case.
