My Not-So-Amazing PC, but I still love it

[Makol]

I originally got this PC from a friend who was going to dump it, but I saved since I didn't have a PC (I'm a Mac user, being using them for 15 years. I'm 18 now.) and I want a gaming PC. I was a really outdated rig. Over the past 2 months I got some new parts and made myself a decent gaming PC that does exactly what I want it to do, in total it cost me $470 to fix up/totally replace everything. I guess this qualifies as my first build. Pics are low quality since I used my iPhone to take them.

original specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHZ

Asus P5BW-LA

2GB Crucial DDR2 533mhz RAM

ATI x1300 256MB GDDR2

no PSU

no hard drive

(pics of this rig were taken after I got a PSU and hard drive)

the new specs are in my sig.

Not a bad pc mate... could do with some cable management tho

No offence mate but you really should fix those cables .

Nice rig too.

Yea, I'm still working on the cables. I may have to make a modification to the case to hide those ugly cables.

I plan on OC'ing in a month when I have time to do it correctly.

dont need long to set it up...i had my old E6300 at 3.72 before. 100% overclock...was a MONSTER!!!

Serious...RAMP up that FSB!!

Your not a geek until you blow something up...then you become a terrorist!

Nice mate. A little cable management and some overclocking and you'll be set

I just fixed up the cables, not much I can do since the cable are pretty short. the air flow is much better and my temps went down a little. now it's time to OC!!!
