New Computer Build (HD) [how to build a computer in 8 minutes]

[davdua1991]

that cable managment

[cloudyjojo]

sometimes I lay on the floor and pretend that I'm a carrot...

[pr53188]

Wow, that must have costed alot of money!!!!

[vicinusjura97]

Nice pc for that time but you need some cable management ;)

[CaptainHalodude]

ahh, the 2 most important tools of all in system building; patience and a good cuppa.

[CaptainHalodude]

Also, did you wear rubber-soled shoes the whole time when building that PC in the vid?

[patrick124367]

for that case, I have the same one but the bottom fan on the front is not one and i have no idea how to turn it on any help?

[marcobarring]

1 What video card?

2 Did u Overclock?

3 DDR2 or DDR3?

4 Have you upgraded at all?

Nice Build.

[marcobarring]

1 What video card?

2 Did u Overclock?

3 DDR2 or DDR3?

4 Have you upgraded at all?

[IvansPCpraat]

Niiiiiiiccccceeeeee work man!

[compsplanet]

you can get all these parts on compsplanet :)

[Cheesecake2k]

2nd song?

[MariosGuy]

@Cheesecake2k canon lol but it was a weird version with a flute playing the lead parts. check out canon rock for the best (:

[xBl0odLusTx]

Watching this makes me want to throw my crappy laptop out my window a buy me a brand new desktop..

[airbusa1]

2:14 nice eye pleasing finished computer amazing case also.....

[0166882]

slow it down...

[imanoob4]

You in the military?

[hrbear]

I disagree on 2 points: The CPU cooler and the midi case. The Intel retail CPU cooler can cover office purposes only, and in general, it comes as a marketing strategy. So, you should buy at least say a Zalman CNPS9700 LED (low price), or a good Thermalright / Scythe / Noctua (more expensive). The case isn't enough for gaming purposes, I would like a maxi type, so you would have more air flow, more space, and less heat. The mobo is good. These types of mobos may be also "Ubuntu linux ready".

[lilsonic11]

um were did u get your parts from

[kitschiguy]

@lilsonic11 Various online retailers in the UK. overclockers.co.uk, ebuyer, scan.co.uk, novatech.co.uk. Thanks.

[rnd88]

Cable management fail

[ThatGreekGuy23]

My build looked alot easier than that lol

Nah nice stuff, btw what graphics card was that?

[slikbmxgeorge]

@ThatGreekGuy23 looks like a HD 4770 to me.

[ITomahawkIS]

looks hard

[mrCornTozz]

bro......i think you should do same cable management..

[Mackfuu222]

what if i were to buy a factory computer from a store, newer model, and then upgraded certain parts? because im looking for a computer for gaming but only certain games like rpgs. I see alot of people who build their own rigs for gaming but its usually over 1000 bucks. I dont necessarily need alot of power or flash i just want it to be able to play without any problems? any suggestions for pre built computers or good computers to upgrade?

[kitschiguy]

@Mackfuu222 That would be an expensive way to do it. You'd be better off building one from scratch or buying a barebones bundle and then adding what you need to that.

[hrbear]

@Mackfuu222 This is not a good idea. Brand PCs are clearly targeting companies, offices and organizations, which buy them in specific quantities with specific deals in price, service etc. They also targeting some home users who even don't know many things about PCs (say an accountant, an artist, a musician, a civil engineer, a lawyer, and so on), many of them are turned to Mac, especially graphists and sound engineers. Brand PCs are not easily upgradeable, not overclockable, they have (continued

[hrbear]

@Mackfuu222 (continued), they have some bad proprietary patents at their case, power supply, specific air cooling solutions (even with an air pipe driven system). In general, they are for office use. They have proprietary connections between mobo / case, and specific power supply dimensions. Also, their price comes at...a price. What I mean? That to keep their competitive price low, they use some parts not of a good quality. If the price is your problem, consider your own build with parts of

[boricguitar]

copy of windows XD very nice who needs to pay for windows 7 when we can download it eh

[kitschiguy]

@boricguitar Windows 7 RC candidate :)

[kevingong]

I like the music.

[deanbax9]

hey what LCD is that? and what program did you use to make this video?

[kitschiguy]

@deanbax9 LCD is a BenQ - can't remember which model - sorry. It's 22" 1920x1080 res, HDMI. I used Adobe Premier Pro to make the video :)

[loracnmit729]

Anyone else notice this is not in American because of the LCD's power cord?:)

[loracnmit729]

What is the song? I felt like I was watching an episode of CHiPs! haha...nice video though.

[seanyfarrell]

how did you like the motherboard? im thinking of getting it today after my last one fried and i dont have the money to upgrade to DDR3 + CPU + motherboard

[rayo1988]

Im a noob planning on building my first computer. i like how you tested the motherboard before putting everything, how were you able to turn it on? does the motherboard have a power button?

[kitschiguy]

@rayo1988 Hi, there's a power header on the motherboard that you'll eventually attach the PC case power button wire to (check the mobo documentation to locate it - Just use a ballpoint pen or a screwdriver to short the two prongs. You can see me do this in the video just before It powers up for the first time.

[englishmovielover]

How much was your windows 7? Have you eve ever thought of Ubuntu 10.4 as another option. Nice video by the way. And you have encouraged me to do the same. But I would use UBUNTU as I am using now, and it would certainly save the cash.

[kitschiguy]

@englishmovielover I used the Windows 7 release candidate for this build. Yes, I've used various Linux distros including Ubuntu and Kubuntu etc but I've settled on Linux Mint :)

[LownerVid]

I like this video!

[RythmTR]

for less than 300$ my 7 years old athlon xp 3200+, 1gb pc3200 with sata hdd and geforce fx6200... is now a phenom x4 955 b.e., 2gb pc10600 with ati hd4200. I know ati hd4850 is a little bit better than my hd4200 but do you think that rebuilding my old computer is a better choice than building a brand new expensive Q6400?

[iceboyzz2]

real mess inside the case.. Also i do not suggest using a case without cable management holes anymore. CoolerMaster CM690 II Advanced is probably the best bang for you buck at the moment.

[yamuiemata]

what was that thing u applyed on ur processor?

[Sparta2310]

Very nice indeed although sometimes it does not always go so smoothly when you build your own! I just finished building my son a gaming rig and had nothing but trouble. Firstly I had to RMA motherboard and then the CPU Phenom II X 4 955. Then the Coolmaster V8 heatsink fan would not turn. Once I got it going I realised I could not reach the 8 pin power connection cause of the V8,had to unistall it all. Then loading Window 7 it could not locate my network hardware. Got there in the end though

[RythmTR]

@Sparta2310 I choosed the same processor to rebuild my computer too, I hope it will not like yours, and I hope I didnt purchased your rma motherboard :P

[Sparta2310]

@RythmTR - I am sure you will be fine and do a good job. I hope all your components are 100% working order unlike mine LOL

[RythmTR]

@Sparta2310 yes you're right :D

I did it a week ago and its awesome I love my new computer with windows7. First time i'm lucky with electronics this year :P

[tifosorossonero1]

non sai mettere in ordine i cavi

[XxHardcorexxGamerxX]

nice video.. pretty damn fast!! ;-)

[Xbox360Chicken]

Not a bad looking build, I have the exact same mouse and keyboard in my setup, I went AMD though, more for your money that way, Im a poor bastard :P lol

[Nefus1988]

How long did this actually take?

[David2377]

LOL you dont take the intel thermal paste off, it's the fucking best thermal paste, thumbs down to this newbie.

[kitschiguy]

@David2377 CPU manufacturer TIM is generally inferior. I used hi-density silver thermal compound by Arctic Silver.

[iChaDOuTzxX]

@David2377 POOPED ON.

[amindumaru]

Lol, was that a Pirated copy of windows 7 I saw you put in? ;)

[kitschiguy]

@amindumaru :) No, it was the Windows 7 release candidate.

[bmw2go11]

never knew you could slide the whole motherboard and gpu in at once ;D that's extra kewl

[doomsdayatroosevelt]

i have a problem i bought the same motherboard as you and a invidia 9500 graphics card along with a new heatsync and psu and we plugged everything in correctly and when we powered the pc on theres no signal to the moniter and there is no beep for the bios the fans are running fine and the motherboard light is on what are we dong wrong please help. all hardware is fresh from yesterday besides the ram but the ram worked fine yesterday

[kitschiguy]

@doomsdayatroosevelt Have you managed to sort the problem out yet?

[ch9il]

@doomsdayatroosevelt it may be the sticker for the cpu have you check that ?or the graphics card 

[Virgle144]

Oh thank god .. I was expecting to hear let the bodies hit the floor ect

[HCUvideoproductions]

how much was it to build it?

[kitschiguy]

@ADempsey87 Yes, I thought about it. I may do if I have time.

[spektrum841]

I'm a sucker for classical music and I can always listen to Cannon in D. Nice build by the way and watching a time lapse was fun. I've ordered my new tower and components a few days ago and I'm stoked. The last time I build a system from the ground up was in 2002/2003!

[kitschiguy]

@spektrum841 Glad you liked it - have fun with the build :)

[PressureCA]

very nice video, hey can u make a video on all the things u need to build a gaming pc?

[kitschiguy]

@PressureCA Yeah, good idea - if I have time :)

[TheWazanabe]

how much is a ddr2 2gb ram??

[kitschiguy]

@TheWazanabe Do you mean cost? When I bought the components for this build, I think I paid just over £40 for 4GB. It's more than double that now - DDR3 has taken off. I contacted some suppliers and retailers to find out why and was told that DDR2 is more expensive to manufacture now..

[aquapwnsyou]

Nice video. would that mobo good for crossfired 5770s? my current mobo doesnt support crossfire so i am looking at this one for upgrading to crossfired 5770s in the future.

[kitschiguy]

@aquapwnsyou Yes, this mobo supports crossfire technology.

[thegoodhen]

Nice vid :D But I bet it didn't take you 8 minutes really :D

[kitschiguy]

@thegoodhen :)

[martinicoss]

nice video, it so funny beauty :)

[kitschiguy]

@martinicoss Thanks

[thefinALE007]

nice vid but no cable management?!?

[kitschiguy]

@thefinALE007 I dealt with that afterwards. I didn't bother to edit it in to the video :)

[youkorny]

like you video can i now get your old pc :DD or do you sell it if you have a old ???

[kitschiguy]

@youkorny Haha, sorry. It's been recycled already. Now running Linux Mint somewhere.. :)

[chicago307]

I love the music in the background!

[kitschiguy]

@chicago307 :)

Thanks for watching.

[andreiporfireanu]

great video !! i want to buy the same motherboard for my new computer. Is it a good choice for a quad processor ? thanx !! I will subscribe

[kitschiguy]

@andreiporfireanu Hi,

Yea, i think so. It's been really good so far - no troubles :)

[honitsten]

I was thinking of getting this mobo to replace my 750i. Does if feel pretty solid to you? I'm gonna do light gaming and mostly video editing in HD on it.

[kitschiguy]

@honitsten Yea, It's fine. I've had absolutely no trouble at all with it. Not a single crash, hang, lock-up or shut down. Good over-clocker.

[thore022]

great choice in music. great video, just one thing u might should look back into later. cable management, even tho ive seen way worse but just a consideration other then that great overall im planning on getting this mobo board for my old q6600

[kitschiguy]

@thore022 Yeah, I dealt with that after the build. I didn't bother to include it in the final edit as I didn't record any decent footage of the cable management.

Thanks for watching :)

[thore022]

@kitschiguy ahh ok ;)

[unokilo321]

great video man antec 300 is a fun case to work with, do you use this pc for gaming? I have a amd 4200+ @ 3.0ghz with a ati 5770 that I play games on it's not the newest or greatest but it plays the games I play, and that's all I need. will you be doing more builds like this? I always like watching computer builds and gaming videos. subbed if you will do more builds or games videos.

[kitschiguy]

@unokilo321 I use it mainly for photo and video editing but it runs the games I have perfectly.

I'm planning another video for an i5/i7 build later on in the year.

Thanks for watching.

[XxXTheRealMafiaXxX]

Nice video, it make me relax ^^

[noodlez1968]

I liked the video very much. Keep up the good work.

[kitschiguy]

@noodlez1968 Thanks - glad you liked it :)

[joedeafhiphop69]

where you put it more parts you  got missing where there are is huh?

[joedeafhiphop69]

hey gug plase trying again i want it normal not too fast i dont like it why not in know you wont show me bro ? huh let me know ok thank joe

[kitschiguy]

Hi,

Sorry, this is the only version of this video.

Thanks for watching though :)

[YipeYipe13]

could you show me the normal version plz!! i would love it a link or something

[kitschiguy]

Hi,

Sorry, this is the only version there is. I rendered the movie sped up X5. Also, an actual speed version would be nearly 1 hour long.

Thanks for watching :)

[LeaRxD]

Very nice video :P

[kitschiguy]

Thanks.

[GarrettBMXes]

Looks like a decent build, but i must note one thing.

Powering up your motherboard on the anti-static bag was a very bad idea. You are luck it didn't cause any shorts within the circuitry.

[cata8992]

very good video and pc!

a question: Why the hd 4850 and not a hd 5770 or hd 5750?

[kitschiguy]

Hi, thanks for your comments.

The HD4850 was ideal for my clients needs and the machine came in under-budget. Also, I think ATI released the 5770 and 5750 late last year but this build was from early last year. I could have used the 4870 or 4890 but more powerful card would have been unnecessary.

Cheers.

[YipeYipe13]

got the normal slow version i would love it!
