It would really help if you could write what the links point to-- like name/model-- so we didn't have to click on each and every link. It's not easy to check your build from my phone if I have to open EVERY link.

@Justruss

I just have to study the Guide, prepare my installation disks and files. I'll prepare my questions and post them here in a few hours.

 

[BaRaq1]

Judging from the Guide everything should work OOB. After my parts arrive will I have to move this topic to the Post Build forum?

 

[justr]

Your build should go smoothly. Just follow NotShy's guide.

 

[BaRaq1]

Gotcha!

 

[Vendetta]

Beautiful build.

Hey People just arrive in New York City to build this system for the Recording Studio. So far I installed the CPU and Mugen 2. This big ass cooler was quite difficult to mount yet I successfully succeeded. I am going to install 4GB of the 12GB that I have on hand. After I install Windows & Snow Leopard I will drop all 12GB in. I'm currently working on the physical build. I will post once I'm done.

I finished the build. I have the DVD+R on SATA 0, and now installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit. Once that is done I disconnect the Windows drive and plug the SL drive into SATA 1 and install with iBoot & Multibeast. I'll let you know how it works out.
