The idea behind this article is to give anyone who hasn’t built a PC or isn’t familiar with PC building an insight into how to do it from a newbies perspective. Prior to this build I had only watched it being done and it still feels like a game of operation to be honest, but hopefully this helps you.
This article was written in conjunction with the Intel Motherboard team, as a result we now have some awesome prizes for CIC7 - if you could take the time to reply on this poll that would also help!

there i would have to login to a webserver for the picture to be displayed.
this: ftp://ar3.dk/CFIntelArticle/Components.jpg
Video Cards: Dual 9800 GTs 1 Gig Ram SLI
at least get more average products -_- not things just 5% here owns
e: and i need some kind of login or smth
rest is nice :)
EDIT: My bad, apparently 1366 only fits i7s and Xeons :(
would be nice for someone to do a water cooling walkthrough, I am the newb and want to learn that stuffs :)
To be honest, water cooling systems aren't that complex. Once you've decided the type you want (See that article I linked for more information) just find one that's good value for money and a good make. I have always found Coolermaster for example to be good value for money in terms of performance to cash ratio.
They have a watercooling forum, they could answer any question you could possibly have about it.
no that's harsh, good jobbbbbbbbb keep it uppppppppppp
Most cases nowadays come with different formats though, ATX, uATX etc., so they just have a massive amount of holes in the motherboard holding plate. You gotta find out what format your board has or just check the holes of it, in order to get the screw holding screws (wtf) in those holes.
And still, after all those years I can't believe they haven't found a better way to control the LEDs, powerswitches etc than just those ridiculously tiny wire things.
Asus (am I allowed to say that name here?) managed to deliver some sort of dockingstation with their boards that allows you to insert the wires on that instead of the pins directly. Atleast a tad more comfortable.
Edit: Oh, and I think the most difficult part is actually getting the right parts together. Like the right mainboard for the right socket/CPU, PCI or PCI-E, Sata or IDE, DDR 1,2,3 what speed, etc etc. That might be even harder for most.
You gotta have a special look at the power supplies nowadays as well, not only for enough power, but for enough connectors, as the new graphicscard need some special PCI-E connectors, with either 4,6 or 8 (or whatever) pins. Ofc you could get some extensions and Y-adapters, but that's not too nice :-P
Ehm, and actually buy or check out the graphicscard size before you buy the case. Had this problem a few weeks ago when I ordered a GTX260 for a friend of mine for his old and standard midi tower. Simply didn't fit in, didn't expect a gfxcard to be that long.
In the door the speaker wire is green, when it arrives in the middle console it's yellow.
If not hf buying new components.
Just ground yourself first

This will spoil the fun!
just rtfm and learn it while doin it
there are manuals for everything. the tower, the motherboard, the psu, the graphicscard,
the soundcard, even for the freaking ram ..
that's almost "idioten sicher" :D
My friend builded the last one=)
I'll probably rebuild my old computers and follow this guide and hope for a better result!
The small pins are the big fucking problem, after touching those pins I wasn't able to start the computer at all :@
don't buy amd cpu/motherboard and intel ram or so :D
The last one I bought a week ago was components some friends helped me to order to make sure it fit together :)
always read about it or get help if you aren't really aware of what to do :)
you can't put diesel in a benzine car .. :D
Haha funny mentioned that, my father took benzine in a diesel-car :D
But only because he usually has a benzine-car except when he drives with the job-car.
I guess it's in the genes :)
the car still ok or is the motor wrecked now? =D
I think it's worse if you put diesel in a benzine-car than the opposite like my father did.
And even though he tried to start the car for a while the motor was still OK :D
But i bet it was embarrasing to call them and tell what happened :)
ye i can imagine how embarrasing it might have been :D
and it won't start (most won't), so you got to get your car running with regular fuel and then add some diesel.
also you could make a mix; put 40% 95 or 98 and rest diesel.. it wont start as well as it should and it might be a bit too stressing for starter/ ignition system, but atleast you would be able to drive like that.
altho diesel in newish cars could ruin those fancy exhaustcatalyte-thingies, lambda's and so on..
