Now, firstly my parts had arrived in a box that surely was too big for what it needed?!

A big box

And the parts inside the box:

The CPU:

The box for a processor

45nm, “You are so small, it’s funny to me!” I believe would be the heavys reaction.

Top of Processor Box

Surely such a big box for this small processor?

Back of Processor Box

Ooh it spins… hopefully enough to cool it down so I don’t melt my new processor.

The Motherboard:

Motherboard box

Well, the processor fits on there, thats about as much as I know lol

Graphics Card:

Motherboard Box

Shiny box… let’s hope the graphics are as shiny :)

Graphics Card

And the shiny graphics card, not as shiny as it’s box, but defnetly better than the nVIDIA 5200 that it replaces.

RAM:

RAM

2GB should be enough to let me actually use this thing lol

Ooh, maps copied :) I’m gonna now test this system and put more pics later :)
