From sunny Sweden... no seriously it's been very sunny of late. I'm a Brit living in Malmö Sweden and have found myself bored to death, so I've decided to build some PCs (note the use of the plural).
Years ago I helped fund my way through university by helping my fellow students spend their student loans on gaming PCs. So I have built an awful lot of PC's over the years. However, the past 5 years or so I've not touched a single one.
Just got a bit disillusioned with it all I guess. I've got the bug again though. So now I'm attempting two builds, the first is to be based in my home:
All wrapped up in an Obsidian 750D, which will receive a custom paint job to boot. I'm hoping to make some build videos / articles as I go along. there will of course be a custom waterloop as well. My second build is intended for LAN parties, something that's really popular over here in Sweden, for this I'm going with:
This lot isn't going into a Corsair case but is being squeezed into the BitFenix Prodigy M... which should be fun. As this is intended for LAN parties their no optical drive (not that I could fit one in), and I'm currently scratching my head about water cooling. I'm sure I'll figure it out once I've eye-balled it.
Any way that's me and what I'm up to.
Cheers
