New computer build: Complete!
13 years ago
General
Yes, after several months of saving and budgeting and a few days of building (and waiting for parts to come in) my new rig is finally complete!
My thanks goes to
captainq and 
xipher for their advice with my fan issue. Q, turns out you were right! One of my adapters was loose, enough to have the LED show that there was power to the board, but not enough to power the fans themselves.
So yeah, I did my customary 'game test' that I have done for every new computer I've used in the last six years... I installed flight simulator, and BOY OH BOY the planes sure do look puuuuurty! :3
Colour me excited right now, this is just completely awesome! :D
(Also, holy hell the graphics card was a pain to install in my case!)

Congrats :D. Nothing better than turning it on and watching it go~. Then again, the first time I turned my first custom computer on... it didn't work D:. Simple fix, but scary.

XD I could imagine! The first time I tried the power button on the case it didn't work, but then I realized it was because the plug for the PSU wasn't all the way in >.>
