Thread: Building a PC

Spent all day yesterday at a friend's place.We checked the wiring. Turns out it was Cosair's 850w modular power supply. He ended up taking me to the most magical dreamland store ever called Fry's which is a giant mall of computer parts and electronics. I bought a Coolmax 700w powersupply for $75 that worked perfectly. I ended up buying him a $30 power supply tester with a LED panel that I guess gave some pretty good information and gave him $25 gas. Everything is up and running. The only obstacle I have now is activating Windows. We weren't connected online, so doing it over the phone was too difficult. I'll do that later. I just wanted to report my success how everything worked out and that I''ll post photos of everything later.

EDIT - for what its worth I posirepped everyone I could in this thread for all your awesome advice and guidance.
