Why a 5770?
[QUOTE=FalcoLombardi;22133447]Why a 5770?[/QUOTE] barely gaming... mostly photo and video editing and rendering
link to avatar pic? :)
[QUOTE=Krissern;22133607]link to avatar pic? :)[/QUOTE] really Also good to see another work log coming out
great build log man...
[QUOTE=Xenos;22139140]great build log man...[/QUOTE] don't be an ass...it's coming. i told you the parts, i told you to be ready because it's coming, now all you have to do is be patient. i'm not harming you by doing nothing now, am i?
Looks nice, i was wondering why you got a i7 930 with a 5770 but then you said its barely for gaming :)
UPDATE: Components got shipped in by UPS, dumbass dad didn't put note to leave at neighbors, boxes left outside in scorching hot, humid weather, moved them inside [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/n3oyua.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/ztauea.jpg[/IMG]
They would really leave deliveries outside like that? I'd have been more worried about the boxes being nicked than them being too hot outside.

[QUOTE=Execro;22191160]They would really leave deliveries outside like that? I'd have been more worried about the boxes being nicked than them being too hot outside.[/QUOTE] Yea, you cant get a postman to leave a DVD outside here if your not in, let alone a $2000 computer. At least it wasn't raining eh?
[QUOTE=Milky;22191440]At least it wasn't raining eh?[/QUOTE] You know, water won't break electronic stuff until it has some power in it
[QUOTE=Ericsson;22191560]You know, water won't break electronic stuff until it has some power in it[/QUOTE] Would still have awhile to wait for it to all dry out.
[QUOTE=Milky;22191657]Would still have awhile to wait for it to all dry out.[/QUOTE] Could still have built it and dried it with a hairdryer. 5 minutes of drying off is a low price compared to losing a $2k build.
