Epic computer saga continues

posted by PhunkyPlatypus on journey

I finally got everything I've ordered, aside from new front fan. But I've decided its time to rip this whole thing apart and build it from the motherboard up.

I figure ill post updates and pics of my accomplishments and any barriers I encounter.

Started with removing the PSU as I figured I could test that after installation.

Also learned that not all power sources have the same dimensions....

Edit 2 hours ish in. Installed the cpu and cooler into the motherboard, installed the mobo into the case. Reversed the I/O panel on the front to minimize ugle cables.

Dear God, the cables.... those 11 case fans are gonna be the death of me. Hopefully ill be able to cut it down to 7 next week. Also that damn cpu cooler came with like a foot of cable I gotta hide somewhere.

All things considered this is going real well and I may even get to boot tonight.

Motherboard is out. Taking a smoke break now. (Walked outside with my head lamp on like a moron) About to install the cpu and cooler onto the new board. I'm taking pics, but I'll compile and submit them later.

Are you going to test the new components outside the case, or install everything and hope it all works, which it should?

Aside from the psu, the test will be everything aside from GPU and ram. Something I swore I already learned my lesson on.
