I would seriously think that just about all forums have had enough now.

I think you are just jealous that Panarchy is having so much fun :D

Panicky is having fun at everyones expense. :lol:

:D

Wait a second, don't make fun of my name. Research it. Type into google or wikipedia: Panarchy

Mayhaps that would enlighten you.

Panicky is having fun at everyones expense. :lol:

Yes, but he is helping you on to your next milestone whilst he's doing it.

:P

Age doesn't always come with wisdom.

But yes, he is probably of that age (and maybe older 'nough to of seen the first computer?)

The first computer that i ever saw had just been installed in a T.I. factory in ther Black Country. It was in a large room with an air lock on the door. There were several large cabinets with huge reels. It cast in the region of £50,000,000 and probably had less computing power than my present one. Probably something similar looking to this.

WOW!

That looks interesting!

:P

Pretty expensive...

Did you see any of those IBM (or competitors) time stamp computer, that would show your employer what time you turned up to work? I heard that was one of the first computers (from IBM anyway). Oh yeah, I think IBM first computer was a scale... :???

What do you think?

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

Some more help please!

I've read the manual, but it didn't go into enough detail on where the Antec P182 connecter thingies (see above) go.

Please help me out here.

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

PS: Here is a pic of just the section, so it will be easier for you 'guys' to circle where the plugs go.

There were several large cabinets with huge reels.

It looks tiny to me... :lol:

That was the nearest photo I could find on line. The room that it was in measured about 25 feet long, and the computer took up most of that room. There was an air lock door to enter by, and all the operators had white coats, their hair was covered and the wore over shoes. It probably had less processing power than my camera. :lol:

PLEASE DON'T ASK.

Why not.? - I am interested in being updated on his progress. If this thread displeases you - why do you click on it..?................ :rolleyes:

Curiosity. I have never come across anyone quite like him before. You can't help wondering just how long it will be before he messes it up, that is if he ever finishes it. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am not aware of any outstanding question from you - where are you now with the build and what are you stuck on...?

Since we seem to constantly move around between windowsforum and windowsforumbackup (and sometimes neoplanet), a post using a post or topic link will always point to the right original post. (A url link will not.)

UPDATE (on my progress so far)

Things done;

Unpacked the case from the box

Installed PSU

Installed Motherboard

Installed RAM

Installed Zalman CNPS 9700

Install the CPU

Install the DVD burner

Install the hard-drives

Plug in the harddrives & DVD Drives (using cables)

Plug in the rest of the cables.

Hook up the case's fans to the motherboard

Things left to do:

Install the Graphics Card (will be buying it tomorrow, an 8800GTS (v2) 512MB (G92

Boot up my computer (wish me luck!)

Update the BIOS

Install the OS's (6 OS's on one drive!) that I need (and partition the drive)

Install the software that I need (including the software included with the DVD burner & motherboard)

WOOT! One step away! (till I finish hardware, and software is a piece of cake [that's where my 'genius' lies :P :lol: :D])

PS: Why the windowsforumbackup interchange?

Why do you consider it necessary to upgrade the BIOS....?

All your gear is new and latest vintage - surely it is a quite unecessary risk for possibly no practical return.

If you want to feel the pleasure and satisaction of a successful BIOS upgrade - I suggest you do it on the computer you are about to replace - once the new one is fully operational.

Several experts have warned you of the dangers of a failed BIOS upgrade - you would do well to accept their advice.

As a software genius you must know this makes sense.
