When I got home today I was pleased to see my new PC parts from Newegg at my doorstep. It took two days, from Long Beach to San Diego; less than 100 miles, for them to get here. I thought I could snap some pictures with a webcam while I was building it.

The specs:
AMD Quad Core @ 3.4 GhZ
Asus M4A79XTD EVO Motherboard
Corsair 4GB(2x2GB) memory @ 1600 MhZ
Corsair 650 watt PSU
MSI GTX 460
NZXT Phantom case, and a new 24" monitor.

Here's a slideshow -

Overall I was very impressed with the quality of the items. The case came with every possible type of screw needed, even stand-offs. Free cable ties are always a plus. Everything came along quite well, the only thing that actually took awhile was the cable managment :c-snooze: . Hopefully you guys like the build. I'm installing Windows now and planning to run Prime95 all night.

Very nice, do you plan on overclocking that thing?

If a suggested code/method fails, informing us is less important than telling us why or what errors occurred.

Maybe, I'm thinking about lapping the CPU and installing either a Thermaltake Frio aircooler or a stand-alone water cooler like the Corsiar ones.

The computer was $990(but 60 dollars in rebates) and I got my monitor for a very good price; a 24" on sale for $130.
