Ever since I heard of AMD I always wanted to give it a try but never had a chance to do so but, on the 18th of July (( Monday )) i had that chance. wish i could post pic but my cam is an 8MegaPixil so the pic is about
1MB. I will put them up in my gallary. Specs as Follows:
AMD64 4000+ 2.4GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103529
1 gig Ram
1 120GB HDD System Drive WD
1 320GB HDD Storage Drive WD

Dude, as for that pic... just make it smaller (physical size wise and/or file size wise).

You can use Photoshop, or The GIMP pretty easily to do this, and I think microsoft has a powertoy that will do this for you as well..

Well at first i thought it would be deficult to place the motherboard in but figured out a way and the most hardest and annoying part was trying to put the CPU Cooler on top but every time i try to turn that black thing at either one of sides of the cooler the clip which is holding the cooler came of and i spent 10 min trying to secure that thing

P.S: sorry for the first three pics there not as clear as i thought it would be

nev_payne · 25-July-05, 02:01 PM

rofl...on my system, considering I'd never touched an A64 system before, took me ohh about 10 seconds? What cooler were you using again?

Bionic · 25-July-05, 02:04 PM

Intel, if you are using the stock AMD cooler, I had the exact same issue. You have to snap both clips on before flipping the lever. It took a whole lot of force to get both clips on, as well. I was convinced I was going to break something. Once you get the clips on, you'll have no trouble with the lever. When I first did it I thought I only had to get the clip opposite from the lever over the bracket, and then the lever would snap the other one on for me. Not true...

Nev: The stock AMD cooler

Bionic: Thanks for agreeing on this. i also felt i would break something

Bionic · 25-July-05, 09:57 PM

Haha yeah man, I had to put most of my weight on it to get the other clip on. Installing my Zalman CNPS7000 was much much easier

I don't recognize the MOBO from the gallery pics. An Asus? I guess a stock plastic frame is the same no matter what...

Oh, and WORK ON THOSE CABLES

Well i talked to the guy he said its no need since i was at a camp that day and the director of the camp him self asked me to build one since its only going to monitor the security cams there about 14 of them and this is my first pc i built and im only 12

P.S: Camp is over tho but im going back next week for a meeting and if they need to talk alone then thats my chance to tidy the cables ( God pls dont let me forget the camera )
