Building a New Computer from Scratch

Christmas in July heheh! I built my last computer almost to the day...in 2005! It still runs...just reeaaalllly slowww... Anyhoo, I've always enjoyed building my own workstations.

 

The total shipment weighed 55 pounds! Amazon delivered all 11 pieces, in three separate shipments -- all within 48 hours, including a Saturday delivery -- and all at no charge! My Prime membership is even free with my student discount. Amazing.

 

Intel Core i5, ASUS P8Z68-V PRO, Radeon HD 6870, Corsair Vengeance 8 GB and HX 750W, WD 2 TB and Intel 160 GB SSD, Lite-On SATA DVD, Cooler Master Hyper 212+ and 690 II case. IMO the Hyper 212 is knda cheesy...and I won't be overclocking anyway, so it's going back.

 

Here is the workstation after build.
