I couldn't resist taking a load of shots of the bits and pieces for my new computer today before I put it together.
Spec is an i7 2600K (unlocked multiplier, good for overclocking to 5.7GHz) - normally runs at 3.4GHz but "turbo" mode puts it up at 3.8GHz if there's enough TDP headroom. I got 8GB RAM and an MSI motherboard with USB3, as well as a bog-standard fanless graphics card (which still has 512MB DDR2 RAM on - the progress amazes me!).
I've just about got it up and running - I processed the pictures for this collage on it this evening, so with a few more tweaks it should be all sorted. Runs like an absolute beast!!

A close-up of the mainboard. That's the GPU in the middle and around it are the main memory modules.
My boys bought a new video card for their computer. I'm not much into computer games. I spend too much time on flickr.
I wonder why it died today. It's not the first time I played Quake4... damn!
I could easily insert a bit of copper/brass foil + thermal goop to restore proper contact. But without an hot-rair station there's no way to give the RAM-chips a treatment that might revive the card.
