I finally built a new 'puter!

I'm not too sure how many computer nerds we have here, but oh well.

I finally built a new computer to replace my OLD AMD XP 1800+. What a massive difference! I can't believe I went this long without replacing it. I built the new system with silence in mind and that's what I got. It is silent now the only sound I hear is my Comcast modem buzzing.

Case Antec Solo
CPU E2180
HDD Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 7200 RPM SATA
MoBo GA-P35-DS3L rev 2.0
Memory G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB)
Video Card ECS N8800GT-512MX+ GeForce 512MB w/Accelero S1 passive cooling
Power Supply CORSAIR 450VX
CPU cooler Scythe SCNJ-1100P

All for $770.92 including shipping. Plus $80 worth of mail-in rebates.

Yes, I bought the individual parts and slapped it together. I bought everything from newegg.com.

Very nice, Jeremy! Specs on yours are somewhat similar to mine, except I paid around $1,800 when I built. confused0036 And my case is a tad more ...wild. Big Grin

Newegg is an awesome site, too! I bought probably 90% of my things from there when I built mine. Thumbup

It's probably bad or dusty. Just replace it with a Scythe fan or something comparable.

Wait, what fan? Case fan or your power supply fan?
