Really nice work with the forum migration!

This was requested in purchase thread so why not! Not a very involved one, but anyhow. Starting point: Start of tear-down: Old motherboard out: New stuff: This BIOS flashback was quite frightening - but worked! Mass storage in: Not much in the way of clearance, but as...

Another project of mine, so don't expect anything too fancy - mainly sharing this to give ideas. Since I'm planning to upgrade my GPU, figured that I need a bit more breathing room. But I am rather fond of this case and its form factor, I figured I'd make the current case work. Note: I didn't...

Sadly got no photos to share for this starter post, but making one so I won't skip documenting my project. :D I've had a bit of a storage problem lately and finally pulled the trigger on shared storage. I've got some hardware laying around from older PCs, so going to take advantage of them and...

Live for Speed is a sim racer which has been running since 2002 without licensed cars or tracks. This game has seen has some progress. Visually it is dated but when racing you will forget it. I think in VR it is up there with the big names like pcars2 and iracing. I wholeheartedly recommend...

I've got a bit of a strange issue where my motherboard can't find UEFI files no matter how I try to feed it them. I've tried three different thumb drives and also gone through all the USB ports, including front panel ones. I even stuck them to EFI System Partition thinking it could scan that...

I had a couple of posts regarding this in the "Post your latest purchase"-thread, but not enough material to justify its own thread. So the story so far is that I used to have a i7-920 rig which I never got rid of after upgrading to i5-4690k in hopes of better gaming performance. Instead I...

I stumbled on this while browsing /r/techsupportgore on reddit,thought it was worth sharing to white PC nuts here. ;) Link! It's a PC from a paint shop and it was claimed that it still works.

Right, decided to take couple of shots of my cave. I used a Nokia with a cracked lens for the pictures so bear with the image quality. You can click each image for a larger version. Desk itself: It never ceases to amaze me that the G15 still works just fine. Also notice the Sempron 3000+ which...

Hey! Been watching review videos for quite a while so I thought it was time to register. I'm an IT student form Finland, and I've spent a substantial part of my free time between a monitor and a chair. My first very own computer was an amazing 433MHz celeron build, complete with a 8Gb HDD and...
