Good morning everyone.
Recently I grew tired of being limited by my Dell P4 540. As I developed an interest in gaming (I am a Tank Commander in a BF2 clan) and tried to learn about system improvements, there came a point when I decided that I wanted to build something in which I had some control over and was able to upgrade versus flinging former PC in the trash and starting over.
After reading a ton on this forum, much of which is over my head, I decided to purchase intermediate components and dabble in OC'ing, versus stock bleeding edge.
So, I fit a few things together in a case to continue working on design and hit a huge block. In fact , the build is sitting idle on my kitchen table. As I sat staring at my lifeless build, I had an epiphany.
I would let the experts here at OC help me build my system. I can take plenty of pictures, take a concensus of opinions as to which way the build should go or what to puchase, then execute.
If a number of you pitch in to help a lowly newb through this, you could prove to the world that your pure genius allowed you to walk a trained monkey through a build.
Finally, with some of you between builds, I thought it might give everyone a chance to have some fun.
In my next post, I'll lay out come guidelines and list my purchases thus far.
So come on, join Team Glasslicker for an interative/actual build !
