hey i finally built my computer today, and i must say i was pretty pleased with how it all went.
currently the specs are
AMD athlon64 3500+venice
Asus A8N SLI motherboard
512mb corsair ram
Antec 350 PSU
7300GT (none at the moment because there was a 6200AGP in the box that i got...and the computer store is closed tomorrow >.<)and i will put a second 7300GT in shortly. (so i cannot boot the computer yet because of no video out!!!
)
(crappy 10gig HD using to boot, running everything off external USB 2)
oh yeah, i was pretty carefull about static during the installation, i was sure to touched the outside of the case before i touched anything, and i had a friend who was helping me who i made touch the case at first. but insisted on walking off a few times after he did, i was pretty insistant on making him touch the case each time he came back before he touched any of the internal components. assuming he did not touch the case when he came back, do you think it is possiable that he would have generated enough static to damage anything if he was wearing cotton? (he only walked up to the other end of the house and back a few times). oh and neither of us wore shoes or socks
just not sure *how* carefull i need to be :wavey: :nono: :yumyum:
cheers people :worship:
[edit]
oh yeah...i assume it would be fine to use a single ATi card (x800 pro) in an SLI motherboard while i wait on my 7300GTs?
