bonestonne's builds for work

Post by bonestonne » Mon Jul 19, 2010 7:03 pm

So I work at a small computer shop, and I've half taken over the role of building custom order PC's, so far I've built a few, but I've only managed to snap shots of this one so far. I did another one today that I'll get pictures of tomorrow, but here's a small idea of what I've been up to.

The Specs of this build:
AMD X2 255
Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H
2GB Crucial DDR2
500GB WD Blue
Hec Blitz case
Cooler Master 120mm green LED fan - exhaust
Rosewill 500W PSU
HL DVD+/-RW DL
Galaxy 9500GT 512mb

To be honest, it's not really my pick of hardware, it's my bosses. These aren't engineered silent masterpieces, but they're as good as I can make them.

The pics don't include the harddrive cage, but the HDD SATA cable goes in the space next to that, out of sight. HDD cage has a blue LED fan that came with the case. Works just fine for what it is, although it did have issues with cloned hard drives for some reason.

Those are all the pics I have. It's a customers system so I just build it and set it up, this one is running Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit.

I'll add more systems to here as I can, comments are more than welcome on the builds, but as a general note, it's just stock parts, nothing fancy unless the customer asks for it.

Two more builds coming up in the next couple days, a pair of twin builds for a small business.

Specs for them:

AMD X2 255
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H
2GB Crucial DDR2
500GB Hitachi
Rosewill R363 case
Win 7 Pro x86
HL DVD+/-DL

One has a 500W power supply, the other has a 400W, it's just how things worked out. One also has a GeForce 210, the other has a 9400GT.

Otherwise the systems are very similar. I just have no way of uploading the pictures at the current moment.

Twin builds pictures (some of them at least):

Those are what I uploaded first. I did a sequence on another computer I was building today of my general build process, I may zip them together and upload the folder if anyone is interested.

The one computer is not even halfway done, but I only used 9 zip ties to keep it neat. Will work on that tomorrow, along with more pictures being uploaded.
