Built my wife a computer for her Bday-

So my wife was away last week on a trip to ROME which was great but her birthday was sunday and she was there so she was a bit sad that we couldnt be together....

i decided the day she left that a FUN new PC would be a great gift for her birthday since we gave her folks her old PC a few months back....

so since she is a Diehard NY Ranger Hockey fan and her entire office is decked out with every piece of ranger memorabilia i figured this would make a great addition....i had a limited amount of time and my original plan of painting all of the computer case parts in Basecoat Clearcoat at the shop i do some work for went out the window due to there booth not being available on the night i needed....so Krylon to the rescue...it turned out OK and i had to keep telling myself..ITS A COMPUTER CASE NOT A CAR.......


so i gave it to her yesterday and she is stoked...she loves it....

so on to the pics...

here is the case as i bought it.....



finished.....













for those that no PC talk here are the specs below

ASUS M4A78 Pro Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 Kuma Processor
4GB OCZ Gold DDR2 800MHZ RAM

So cool!

 

Very nice! I say that earns you the right to place a serious order of detailing goodies, let's say some Crystal Rock. :thumb:

 

Very cool looking! What video card you got in there? And how much did the entire build cost you?

 

oooh..shiny and lots of neat lights :thumb:

 

Wow that's great, awesome.

 

looks nice! very thoughtful of you!

 

that should be some guaranteed :leghumper:

 

Sweet build! Did you manually curl up that SATA cable to the HD and about how much did that build run you?

 

Thanks......yeah i am anal when it comes to cable management....

yeah thats coming...have a cart full of werkstat stuff on Kens new site just waiting until i heal up a bit....

its running the onboard video which is ATI Radeon HD 3200....when i find a deal on a 4850 or something i will probably upgrade it....shes not a gamer at all so i didnt feel the immediete need....all said and done i spent about $450.00 but i had the monitor and keyboard from my old PC which i recently upgraded....
