Megiddo's new computer!

<< < (2/5) > >>

Megiddo:
Holy CRAP! I got about 3/4ths of all the parts today... but I'm absolutely shocked by the size of the CPU heatsink. I knew it was going to be big from reviews, but this is about half the size of a basketball!

* Megiddo hopes it will fit inside his case.
EDIT:

Here's some pictures, but I still don't think they do this justice!

Here's the heatsink versus the old one I had for my AMD XP 2600+


Here's the heatsink versus my hand

Golden-Death:
All hail Megiddo's hand.

JamminR:
Sexy (you guess which I'm talking about)  ;D ;) :P :P

Oh yeaaah.

Megiddo:
Well, assembling it was rather uneventful... accept for the CPU heatsink (which barely fits by the way!).

When I got to installing windows, I realized there was a fatal flaw in my plans. You can't install XP on a RAID without a driver disk, and I had no floppy drive. It was a logical choice for me to shun the floppy drive, as I have not used one in 3 years, but who knew that in order to use newer technology, you'd have to rely on older technology?

In the end I just put the drivers directly in the XP driver repository on the CD.
