Pro~SPARTA~ Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I'm waiting on the HP Blackbird. Looks good. I'm too old to crawl through my own PC anymore. Â Regarding the name, I think Parthenon is too... I don't know what. But for Zeno maybe it should be Pantyon? Given how he plays. Â Whoops, I think I may have violated rule 3.8 of the forum guidelines. Cylawyer, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Ok guys the Fatality is built. Actually it was already built yesterday, but I could not get it going because one of the power cables was for France not Switzerland, so I went out this morning to buy one. Â The build was straightforward. The hard drives are held in place by rubber rollers, based on Ulrichs' recomendation I changed the cpu cooler to the asus silent knight, The PSU was abit of a problem to fit but I got there in the end I have just installed vista and will now download all the updates. Pics soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 All is not well. The mega GPU would not work with vista. in GRAW2. I tried many recommended solutions all of which failed. So I bought another hard drive and installed windows XP on it, loaded that up with everything and had a similar probelm in GRAW 2. Â So now I think the GPU is not working. I will take it to France at the WE and try it on the PC there, If it works there I will bring back my other 8800 GTX and try it on this PC. Hopefully I will be able to isolate the problem to one component. Â All very irritating, but I am not computerless LOL, my trusty XPS laptop is doing sterling duty. Â I'll bore you all some more when I make some progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
