ya it is my first build infact i only bought my first computer last january. then i craved more power and did alot of reading. i also don't have any computer savey friends so i did it alone. i was pretty confident after tearing apart and tweaking my last computer. consider those hd's flipped, its just one of those things you never think of as a first timer, but now after seeing some rigs on here it seems so obvious.
i'll be taking out that side fan as soon as we get airconditioning installed its like 35c in here right now its actually dropping my cards acouple of degrees with the side off.
