Hey i want to start my computer too can you add me on msn so you can give me some tips later?
I dont have enough money on the moment to start but ill save some add me on : joaojosezinho@hotmail.com

they're nice.. i'm building my pc soon, and i'm being paid to make one aswell.. so i want to get into it..

Yeah, theres some hard stuff and some easy stuff i allready know what i needed to know but ive been getting tips from a few people too.. if you want some help then john_scone70@hotmail.com is my msn.

The hardest part so far was sleeving the cables [not pictured, i did it on a practice fan not the real thing yet so i dont f-k up] (It took me an hour to get the first molex plug off because i didnt know how!! And i havnt even tried to tackle the ATX plug yet)

lol i bought some fancy molex plug removers because whenever i used the pin way (im asuming thats how you did it? ) the metel clips would always brake and the removers are only like $10 for the male and female ones.
and what they say is true i they can remove a clip in under 30 secs

Yeah thier $6 each here male/female plus $10 postage but im cool with the pin, i can remove them in under 30secs too Im just hopeing nothing breaks. $12 buys at least a fan. i wont buy them if i dont have to.

this is cool wow...

For the molex pin remover just spend a good $16 to buy a vantec kit that comes with a hermafrodidic (sp?) remover and it will work just fine. Though a good male pin remover is very nice.


Tip for sleeving: Make sure you have some electrical tape arround, that way you can tape the pins so they will go through the sleeving a little better.

ALSO MAKE SURE TO PUT THE PINS BACK IN THE CORRECT HOLES ON THE CONNECTOR! BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DONT.
The black ones dont matter, but if you accidently swap the red and yellow, you will fry what ever device is plugged into it at the time. I've done it to two of my HDs. It Sucks.

Also a good dremel tool is the ultimate case moding tool.

Pics are not working anymore.

Yeah indeed not working whats sleeving? my english is not perfect

Markus long time no see.
