Improved Sandy Bridge MBS arrive at the Egg

[Duke{CLR}]

The title say it all, get em while they're hot.

B3 Sandy Bridge mobos start showing up at Newegg - The Tech Report

[Grisu]

Will wait for replacement of socket 1366 instead...

[Rand{CLR}]

And here I am, fresh off some Gov'mint refunds, but having to build a fence instead of sending every spare cent I could find off to the 'egg to build a new system.

At least I can finally get a dog(s) when the fence is done.

A dog? If it's for the wife you could use it as leverage to buy some parts

Build completed

Lessons learned...
#1 When installing a big ass scythe heatsink and fan on your cpu... get help, or grow four more arms.

#2 When ordering Dvd drives... make sure your order the SATA drive instead of the IDE (*$%&*#&#@!*&%*.. pause for breath &^*#$*&^%%) it makes a big difference when you dont have any IDE ports on your mobo. Plus it saves a trip to Walmart to pay for an overpriced HP DVD at 1 am.

#3 Before installing aforementioned big ass heatsink, plug in your mobo power pins... damn thing just wont boot without it Thank god the top of the case is removable on the Lian Li case I bought, I think I would have cried otherwise.

I know you're new around here but it's customary to post pics of your new build , especially if you have a Lian Li case.



Congrats on the build.
