My Brisbane Build with the help of Chewy

[jm1647]

OK Chewy standy by for heavy rolls The Brisbane came today but no mobo, it's due by the 26th.

I ordered the 2GB of OCZ Platinum and the Arctic cooler today.

The SanDiego build was buried in katz'z topic so I figured I'd start my own for the Brisbane dual core ......oooooooooooooooo I feel like I'm waiting outside the delivery room again

The mobo, 2GB RAM and the Arctic cooler came today CPU dropped right in..no bent pins. The cooler is a beast, really big and despite some of the reviews went on real easy. The OCZ ram sure is pretty looking I might hafta put in a light and plexiglass in the side panel

Hope to have it assembled and running by the weekend. I gotta decide which case to put it in...decisions...decisions.

I just used one of them online PSU calculators for the brisbane with a lil overclock with 2GB RAM, 2 HDDs, 2 DVD drives and 2 120MM fans and it came up with 243 WATTS. The 350 WATT Antec PSU that came with the 1650 case should handle it. Whatcha think??

[Chewy]

that's a minimum of true watts, onboard vid should be safe, dvd burners iffy?

do a bench test, no case

JK - just kidding?

[Chewy]

that test would be extremely dangerous trying to hook up everything spread out on a table top, especially the 2-120 mm fans when they kicked on

It's been a while so if you could enlighten me, is the bench test when you drop it from a bench or when you drop a bench on it? inquiring minds, just have to know.

I coulda let Mrs Cause hold the fans (after she got dinner all cooked in case she lost a coupla fingers)

@soup - I thought I hadda go to a park and sit on a bench and do it

[soup]

Couldn't you put a rubber strap around them & then clamp the strap to that park bench or the table?

[Chewy]

have you guys ever posted a mobo/cpu/ram/PS from a benchtop setup?

Nah, it would be more fun to hear Mrs Cause scream when they kick on

[soup]

@ Chewy, That would be a negative. @ jm1647 (LMAO) & I shouldn't but I am.

Edit: @ Chewy, I have watched somebody else do bench tests, no case but I have no idea on the individual stuff they were testing.

You give us confidence so everything goes in the case

jm,

Good luck with the build, I will be watching. I am interested to see how the dual core system works out for you. BTW, just how many pc's do you need anyway?
