Build times:

[Colonel Mitch]

Whats your record for having everything boxed up, to built, installing windows?

[ez64]

Under 2 minutes with a pre built PC

[VoX]

I think my build was about 2.5 hours or so, I was taking it very slowly and making sure I didn't mess anything up.

[Calneon]

My recent build was probably around 6 hours.

[Trigger]

Um 3 hours last time i did it i think, but i normally take a day everytime i redo stuff, plenty of tea breaks

[Colonel Mitch]

Christ lol XD

My normal build time is about 30 mins, but my record is 10 mins 35 seconds (Dit it at college during lunch time too xD)

With a friend handing me components/tools.

When i first built MAX It took me about 2 hours =]

[Chazlene]

I think it took Chalex and I around 2 hours to build my current PC... although that may be completely made up.

Clearly the cool kids

if its your own PC I'd rather take the time and take 5 hours but doing it all properly with nice cabiling.

If however it's not mine and the customer will never open the side of the case there just is no point so normally 20 minutes later its done and tested.

SHUDDER. nice cabling is a MASSIVE pain in the arse when you regularly want to get at things :P

[ez64]

Oh yeah I only do it on neat gaming pc's I build for the family or people paying high price's for custom built PC's

My cube is the ultimate mess of cables but I know where everything is.

[VoX]

After dropping a screw in my PSU (tried to screw in an expansion plate while PC was upright, luckily it was off) I had to remove the whole PSU to get the darn thing out, and thought what the hell I'll do cable management while I'm at it. Temps went down about 1C at load but that was it, although the cables were hardly messy before.

It's a bit neater now, will show at i37.

[Trigger]

I dare not open my case, its a mess i dont really tidy my wires cept to move them generally away from fans and such lol

[Calneon]
