Greetings members of the forums.
Favourite cases, windy, but the guy who was behind them seems to have gone bust >_>
Anyway in lieu of anything genuinely interesting to post here is a little background info on how I ended up signing up and entering the Logan's Den.
I have never made my own computer before, and any experience of them has been limited to replacing parts on the family computer which dates from the time before cable management was even taken seriously.
My desires to learn about building a pc lead inevitably to a certain video on the ttl youtube channel about comparing the NH-D14 to the Silver Arrow. At first I wasn't really intrigued by the video, and dare I say at the time I found Tom's quirks a little annoying.
So time goes on and then I stumble across another video "Fractal Design R3 vs NZXT H2".
I loved that video.
The thoroughness displayed in the review backed up with such sound evidence for the criticisms intrigued me, due to this in-built paranoia which I have cultivated that many "reviewers" are a bunch of corporate shills. Surely in the land of sponsorship deals that is the tech industry everyone must be scared stiff of pointing out that a product is just plain bad? I was pleasantly surprised.
Hence I watched TTL videos with a new attitude, actually started enjoying hardware reviews/modding guides for once and later on joined the Hexus forums, in an attempt to try and engage in a fairly moderate forum before looking at something a little more serious.
Then came the CCCC, which prompted me to make an account.
And here I am, trying to learn a little more about building computers, cable sleeving, watercooling, best part suppliers, and the rest! Unfortunately I will not post much, and will probably spend most of my time lurking and collecting information. However if I have a question, or can contribute without spouting a load of bs, then I will of course post a few replies.
At some point I would like to build my own pc, however that event is waiting for the day where I have enough (read any) disposable income.
Bye for now!
