It's already been a month since Pawz said he'd start building, so the build should already be finished unless there's been something like summer in between. Eagerly waiting for the results...


Same here! Every time I see the post pop up again I hop in hoping to see some specs and test runs  :x

Hiya Pawz,

If you're still in the decision making process, I built a desktop a few years back (yup, it's pretty easy) using the Antec 900. Nice case but the internal space allowance is pretty tight given the size of today's vid cards.

Huh?  He just posted his parts list on July 24.  Where I grew up a month was 30 or 31 days (sometimes 28).  It hasn't even been two weeks.

I realize time flys but not that fast.

If you have the 'build fever' two weeks is more like a year! I know from experience! :D

Be a happier man, buy an good 256gb SSD,with OS and often used programs on it, you won't regret it.

Its the biggest PC change in last 5 years.

If you get one built, go to Digital Storm and call it a day.    If you build it, you will save on average.....about 300-400 like Fugi said.

You're welcome my friend.   I know a few who have gone through them and were more than happy with the cost.
