So, computer building round two is under way. All the parts have been ordered, again minus monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Though, this round a wireless adapter was added. We will see how the install on that works, versus the little USB plug I have on mine (which works just fine when you forget to buy the internal card and find that best buy doesn't carry them, and you're too impatient to wait to order one.)
I picked out another COOL MASTER case, but a mid size this time around instead of the full tower I have. Stuck with Gigabyte for the mother board and Intel for the CPU, both are a slight upgrade from my first build. Also, again Western Digital for the hard drive, again an upgrade, half a terabyte larger and a 2k increase on RPM. Stuck with the same graphics card. Mine does so beautifully, didn't find anything that was worth the price increase.
Hopefully this time around I'll have better luck getting the thing to work the first time. However, I will be without help when it comes to loading the Operating System. (Had a little more help then I wanted the last time and that might come to bite me the second time around.)
I'm using the power supply I had originally bought for my first build. I never sent it back so why let it go to waste, right?
My only concern at the moment is that the case only comes with one fan. No big deal, because the power supply came with an extra one. It's just one more thing that I have to install that I haven't before.
Anyways, if all goes smooth I'm hoping to be building by Friday. In other words, I need to get a roll on my homework so that I don't get pre-occupied with something more interesting next week.
