    Re: Build times:

    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.

    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.

    Re: Build times:

    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.
