But the build begins

This guy. Swiped off a recycling cart for a few bucks. Untested, unsure of functionality. Just need to find some K7 chips to test with.

Nice, I was considering getting one of those but decided not to. Pretty sure you can mod XP chips in to MP's, not sure if it works for the Barton's or not though.

.....was totally just looking at reviews and build videos for that case. I've bought two of those Asrock B350's.....both nice solid boards.

So far the case quality isnt bad for the price. The case is gorgeous in person. I did run into a problem with cable management though as my PSU is longer than standard atx so it covered the bottom routing points. Another downside is that the case doesn’t include any fans or expansion slot covers.

Yesterday was half price day at the thrift store, and I got some stuff.

Yes, I still use optical drives. I found this ASUS DRW-24B1ST DVD Burner from 2015.

I upgraded from an old Hitachi-LG drive from 2010. This new one is faster and quieter.

Also found a set of Yamaha NS-AP3500S speakers originally marked for $20 total. I'm using them as computer speakers.

if only people were using thumbnail ... raaaaaaahhhhh the scrolling ...

MY TURN!

i think i will not have a hard time to convince myself that it is not a Razer product , because:

1. luckily only the pouch has the branding... but the cleaning cloth and warranty card has no mention on them ...


2. the build quality is outstanding

but my phone has some issue with close shots ... oh well we can still see that it has the disgusting "Razer Green" signature color (tho it goes well with the black of the rest and the other model that had shape fitting my taste was full white, which was not at my taste) and the motto "For gamers, by gamers" ... buuuuttt no Razer branding or logo

Gunnar RPG Onyx .... "designed by Razer"... AS IF!!!!

Slightly off-topic, and might be a stupid question...

...how do I do thumbnails like that?

Borrowing an image from @GreiverBlade. Theres a thumbnail button next to the full image button when posting a image. Took a screen shot on my smartphone.

I host my images on Imgur. Doesn't look like there's a button when I do that. Oh well.

I apologize to everyone and their scroll wheels.

 

[biffzinker]

I apologize to everyone and their scroll wheels.

No scroll wheel on my smartphone just a lot of thumb scrolling is required.

It does - Works just fine with XP-M's.
http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2174614_bones_wprime___32m_athlon_xp_m_2800_(barton)_31sec_219ms

No need to mod an XP-M, the MP function is already enabled with those but for a regular chip a mod is required.

I was referring to the mod not the board.
Neat that it works with XP-M's though.

I believe it works with the MP mod as well, it's the NF2 chipset that definitely doesn't like mods done to the CPU.
