    I made a video with me talking in it(you'll find that a video with me talking in it is RARE, so enjoy lol) about my new computer build. I may not sound like it in the video, but I am super excited about this! Here's the link to the video:



    I have already bought the motherboard, case, and already had one spare DVD/RW drive and 3 HDDs; one 1TB and two 80GB drives. I also had a friends' laptop die on him, he gave it to me and I decided to take the 320GB hard drive out of it and try to mount it in my build, but it is too small to mount, I talk more about that in the video at the beginning.

    Here is a list of everything I'm about to get, in order, on my website:

    redsandbox.no-ip.org - Totals for building a new computer

    I hope you guys will have some advice and/or suggestions! Thanks for reading,

    For the 2.5" HD you can use this converter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BH3Z8E

    Thanks, Sniper! I found a similar converter to the one you listed for only $3.50, think I should go with that? I'm running pretty low on "money reserves", lol.

    Converter is a converter, I've used £0.99 ones in the past without issues :)

    Status update! I now only need 2 more major computer parts for my new build to boot: The cpu and the ram! I'm going with the Intel Quad-Core i5 and 2x4GB 1600 mHz PC3 RAM(the Kingston ram just keeps getting more and more expensive, and 8 gigs is plenty for now for what I need)! I'm so excited, I can hardly wait! :)
