My Son's New PC
on: January 03, 2022, 06:01:12 PM
Stupidly I didn't take photo's of the whole build, however the CPU cooler failed so that needed to be replaced today.

My OCD went into overdrive when I realised I was two zip ties short  :bnghd:

The offending failed cooler (dead pump as far as I can tell).



Unicorn vomit to the max!



My OCD in full effect

Looking good!

I can say with great certainty that each and every computer I build since the 90s are utter visual shambles in comparison. (My personal low is represented by a faded vanilla box with the Batman's Revenge mainboard and the infamous Pentium processor that gives the wrong answer for certain calculations. I didn't return it - in 100 years it might be a fun oddity for someone)

Looks great Smashie!

I started off just plugging stuff in whenever/wherever I could, but soon developed some cable management OCD myself when stuff got tangled when I tried to replace components.  I feel your pain!

Nice build.

The PC I have just put together has the neatest cabling I have ever done. Not quite as neat as yours, but it's in a non widowed case so no-one can see.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Cheers Guys, The cabling is a nightmare. Wait till you see the one I've done for myself  :ahhh

As for adopting, err no, sorry. You wouldn't want me as a dad anyway, I'm very uncompromising  :twak:
