Great work man :toast:

Im building a comp for a girl, but taking the easy way out

:

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/133401

But that doesnt look half as good as yours

!

BTW question; do the sims games and expansions take much to run? Im gonna get her a c2d e2200 (2.2Ghz) or e6400 + X1950 PRO 512, but wondering if I should up the gpu to a hd3850 or not? (Only plays sims and expansions and whatever new gets released thats the sims

).

theJesus · Sep 12, 2008

too . . . much . . . pink :wtf:

Looks good though. My girlfriend's pc case is my parent's old hp pavilion case. Except I made a cardboard side-panel to mount a 25cm fan that I had lying around (ordered one with led's for my tt armor, came with bad ones, complained and got another for free without having to send back the bad one [gotta love xoxide]) :roll:

I put a front intake fan in as well with some filters and a few more fans. It's been a few months now already since she originally gave me money to order parts for it and she still doesn't have it cuz my system's been down the whole time and I'm using it. :laugh:

We're talking on YIM right now and she's reading this thread and saying stuff like "grrrr, I can't wait for my computer"

So congrats to you for building your girl a machine and actually letting her use it

edit: btw this + this = epic :rockout:

zithe · Sep 12, 2008

Lottsa pink! Awesome. I like it lol! XD

Congratulations. =P

oooooooooooooooooooo yaaaa i remember your deployment now i think like 3 years ago or something you started a thread about a buddys laptop on base that was having sound issues or playback issues in itunes no WMP. am i right? at anyrate im glad youll be back and much luck to you on your tour mad respect given how long do you have left?

haha yeah that's right, I don't remember exactly what I posted but I do remember that. Thanks man, and I've got just over a year left. Gonna be so sweet to be a civilian again. So what have you been doing the past few years? You're outta high school right?

Squirrely · Sep 12, 2008

That case has turned out quite well so far!

I have never been a fan of LED's or especially blue, but somehow it just works with the pink, and I like it. :laugh:

Apocolypse007 · Sep 12, 2008

Its a nice looking case. I've seen some crappily done pink cases in my time but this one is done right! I hope she likes it.

Jeno · Sep 12, 2008
