The AMD BEAST project.

I finally got tired of people bossing me around and off my small crappy Intel Pentium 4 computer. (no offence to those who have Pentium) So I started to build myself a big AMD beast computer. I had to work hard and save a lot of money in order to get all the parts for the pc but I am managing without the pizza and curry for now.

The idea came when a pal on the net was telling me how he was always building pc's. So I decided to build the monster machine.

Day one : zip file here

On day one I assembled quite a lot. I started off by spending hours scanning over the smooth pages of the abit motherboard manual. I then took some studs and fixed the brand new motherboard onto the casing. This was the easy bit. I then decided to attach the processor : amd 2600xp.

It was easier than I had anticipated. The processor fitted like a glove on the socket A mobo. Then I needed to install the heatsink and fan. This is very easy although tricky for your first time. It just requires a screw driver to pop it into place.

I swiped the sweat beads from my head and called it a day. The final thud of the case closing was the final assembly I did on day one of the project.
