Sciguy14 gave me the idea to do a vid. Check him out on Youtube! http://www.youtube.com/user/sciguy14

Filmed back in June, only now found the time to edit it.

I realize that I never filmed me installing the graphics card. Not to worry, I'll be building a new, better computer next year, and upgrading my card this year. :D Also, VPA2008 sucks at camera work.

CPU:AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core @ 2.7 GHz
GPU: ASUS ATI 3450 256M OC'd to 670 MHz (40 stream processors)
RAM: 4 GB @ 667 MHz
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  • argh, i have a problem! i have just built myself my first PC, i've put in a 120gb OCZ vertex 3 SSD and a 2tb WD caviar HDD and while i was able to detect both drives in device manager and both claim to be working properly, the Caviar doesn't show up in My Computer or windows explorer at all, so there is no way i can access it for storage. I've set it up in IDE mode as the asus bios instructions instruct, any protips?

    here's the tl/dr: how do i make a hard drive appear in windows explorer?

  • @BrEnNo1023 IDE mode? That's not right... Should be in SATA. IDE is the name for the interface used in older drives (aka PATA). It IS using a SATA connection, right?

    Let me know if that works.

  • is it really that easy? dose it take any real skills cause i kind of want to build one

  • @myamericanpie The only skills you need is knowing what parts are compatible with each other and how to put it all together without damaging your $1000 investment.

  • What case is that, that you're using? Its neat, no applying screws, just clamping the drives and heatsinks into place. :)

  • @kpaznflyboix that would be the Cooler Master Mystique 632S. It's a bit old by now, but you might find something similar.
