OMG...The case and PSU arrived yesterday!

Built my PC with my Bro who helped me alot with cable management. It was a nice experience really. I was freaked out the first time I powered it on because it wouldn't POST. Turned out that I forgot one of the Motherboard power connectors. Connected that missing cable and powerd it on again, but it gave me an error. I was freaked out again that the Mobo would be dead or something. It turned out that it was the Drive A (Floppy) was causing that problem. Had to disable it.

Here are the spces by the way:

- eVGA nForce 780i SLI Motherboard
- Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Processor with ZALMAN CNPS9700LED Cooler and Arctic Silver 5
- 8GB OCZ Reaper HPC Memory DDR2-800 (PC2-6400)
- eVGA GeForce 9800GX2 Video Card w/HDMI
- 500GB Western Digital Caviar SE16 16MB Cache Hard Drive (Might get another one)
- 80GB Western Digital Caviar 2MB Cache Hard Drive (From old PC. Gonna use it to boot Ubuntu)
- SONY 20x SATA DVD Burner w/LightScribe (It's a rebadged SAMSUNG actually)
- SAMSUNG 20x SATA DVD Burner w/LightScribe
- Silverstone ST1200 1200W Modular Power Supply
- Cooler Master Cosmos S Case
- HP w2207h 22" HDMI LCD Monitor
- Logitech MX620 Cordless Mouse
- A4Tech Multimedia Keyboard
- Windows Vista Business x64 SP1

I overcloked my PC as follows:

CPU: Q9450 default 8 x 333MHz = 2.66GHz >>> OC 8 x 400MHz = 3.2GHz
RAM: From 800MHz to 1000MHz @ 5-5-5-15
Video Card: 700Mhz Core Clock / 2100 Memory Clock

Got a 3dMark06 score of 14,000+ @ default speeds. I will run a stress test (ORTHOS) before I run 3dMark06 again.

I also have vista rating as 5.7 because of my 7200RPM Hard Drive. You either need RAID or a 10000RPM hard drive to get 5.9 for hard drive rate.

Anyhow, here's some screenshots of the OS. Case screenshots to come lates as it's a pain in the ass to close it back.
