Unimatrix Xero Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Two days ago i had a phone call off my mate asking me if i wanted a PC he had kicking round, the specs where as follows Intel Core Duo 2.3Ghz 4GB crosshair x4 1GB sticks x3 250gb western digital hdd's X-FI filadity extremegamer Zalaman heatsink Thermaltake Kandalf Case 1000watt BFG PSU 7.1 surround sound system I asked him how much he wanted for it, and my mate said nothing, he just wanted to get rid of it, the mobo was DOA and he didnt ever get round to replacing it, and since he wasnt going to fix it he asked me if i wanted it for free. now i didnt have to think twice on this so i said yes.... and it turned up this morning. Now since i couldnt afford to replace the mobo either i stripped the parts and added everything minus the processor and 1 hdd isnt to system, now of course i swapped everything into the new case, ive been working on this all day and 5 hours later all is complete It still surprises me how generious people can be and esp with this build due to this ive got 2 processors for sale (see Neobay for details) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/700050-friendship-at-its-best/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
