Welcome to my first ever build log!
Ever since I joined this forum in April its inspired me to get back into computers and start building again. I started with a very simple build and its been evolving ever since! This as been a huge learning experiance and taken lots of trial and error before I really found the parts that I like. Thanks to this forum and its wealth of knowledge, if it wasnt for you this build wouldnt of happened.
Don't hesitate to comment!

I know some of these parts arnt in these pictures and I promise I will be updating the photos as I can. But from looking at the pics you can see I've gone through multiple PSU's, Graphics Cards, Cases, HDDs, and Ram. So if I was to make a list of all of the parts from all the evolution's of this build it would be too long.
So Enough with the talk, here's the pictures!!
The Original Case and Setup aka where it all started
The Current setup!
Exterior
Interior
All pretty and lit up, I'm very proud.
