Planet Express 2 Build Log *Pictures Final* No 56k - Overclock.net

Lets start off with some back story. Lightning hit my house, and we all know how well that works with electronics. Planet Express 1 died a slow painful death. First, one of my Ethernet ports blew. Next, it starts freezing. Then it starts shutting down whenever it feels like it. Now it won't boot without shutting off.

So my brother gets his new computer from the insurance, because his died as well, and we send mine away. Now, the computer is worth approximately $1300 new. Give or take 100 bucks. Silly insurance company decided that they are going to give up $1940, and pay for taxes. My eyes and my smile were so wide at that point in time. So now, I end up with THIS!

I get it on the weekend, and will be posting pictures in this thread. I know not many people have the CM HAF around here, so it should be nice to show you guys what that case is all about! I am also too excited for the E8600, and the 4870X2. And all of this is free thanks to my insurance. (my parents insurance anyways. I payed out over 2500 over the last year of my own money for my rig and upgrading parts so don't think I rely on mommy and daddy :P).

Almost all of the parts came! The only exceptions are the case and PSU so the parts I have right now are useless! Still it is awesome I can't stop looking at how monsterous the 4870X2 is. Will be posting pictures tonight!

I have either my Audio Technica ADH-700 headphones or Z-5300 speakers.

*Edit* Case came in today. Just waiting on the power supply... It says out of stock now (it has said it since like 3 days after I ordered, but in stock when I ordered) so they might have messed up over there. It sucks waiting for ONE component of 9...
