Paceman's new stuff has been ordered.

[paceman]

WOOHOO! - UPS truck has arrived. Going off-line. Should be back with a new PC and build picks in a little while.

[paceman]

The black wire connected to the heat pipe is anti-static strap.

Were the hell is the UPS truck??!?!?!?!

[paceman]

And with the CPU and RAM installed.

[K PhaNTOM]

Everything in the case... With the mounts you get the support you need to push. Just lay the case on its side. Then I'll lay beside the case for inspiration.

[paceman]

The new MB.

[paceman]

Good question.. Tell me which way you went

I haven't yet. The case is still "Out for delivery" according to UPS. I may go ahead and mount the CPU and RAM. Save adding the cooler and GPU until it's in the case.

Ahhhh yeeessss.

If the case is large I put the components in after, this way I can plan my wiring easier. I guess the CPU and backplae (if needed) could easily be installed before hand though.

[paceman]

So here is the stuff - still waiting on the case.

I haven't built a PC in 7 years. Trying to remember if it was easier to assemble the MB and components first and stick in the case. Or mount the MB in the case first and then assemble the other components.

[paceman]

yay hope to see you on soon man!

Looking forward to it!

Darn - everything shipped the same day, but apparently the case came from a different location. Everything EXCEPT the case came in today. Still expecting it tomorrow.

Pretty sure. I looked at the Zalman part number for the one that fits the new CPU and it's the same part number as the one I ordered last time. If it doesn't fit I should be okay with the stock cooler and the well ventilated case until I can get another cooler.

UPS says the parts should be here Wednesday.

I think you may need a new bracket but that should be easy enough to find.

[paceman]

Are you certain that the CPU cooler will fit? I ask because I have an old one that I could use on Minis i5 in case I want to OC.

I remember you building your last one, enjoy this build and as already stated don't forget the pics.

[Grisu]

Are you getting the board and the cpu at a cheap price point? Else I would buy i5-4570 + board instead.

And pics are always nice...
