Hey Im a hradcore fan of C&C since the very begining in that wonderful 1995 day when it was released.

Few guy recommended this forum so I decides to join, and say ahllo to other C&C fans across teh world.

On a more persona note I study engineering in th institue of technology and I really hope to make some of C&C come true.

The potential is huge but not many peopel are C&C fans.

so would you know how to build a computer or are you working on the more programing side of it

[Luk3us 63]

lol. Building a computer isn't hard, the only hard part is ensuring everything is compatible, the rest just requires a screw driver and a anti static strap.

And I didn't even need my anti-static strap. I built mine in the basement on concrete. w00t.

Welcome to the club......make sure to keep a good distance when around DD XD

[Julbri 0]

what does an anti-static strap do any way, i know nothing about building my own rig

[Luk3us 63]

It stops you from frying your computer or components through static electricity. You don't really need one tbh, you can just touch the metal frame of the case from time to time, to dispel any static charge you might be carrying.

Ni Hao Julbri! Welcome to CNCNZ!

[Julbri 0]

fair enough but i would probably forget haha any other handy hints before i try building my own rig?

how long does it take?

[Doctor Destiny 41]

how long does it take?

About 30 minutes to put in your parts. And about 2 hours to install and update Windows.

[Saracen 16]

30 minutes build time!? Do you read a newspaper while doing it then? Try 15 minutes at absolute most. I could turn my machine off, strip and disassemble it completely, put it into a new shell, reboot and be back on the net in 25. And that's by being slow and methodical about it. I'd probably have time to make a coffee in between too.

[Julbri 0]

Try 15 minutes at absolute most.

 

yea but im a complete novice

 

what was your first build time?

 

[Doctor Destiny 41]

30 minutes build time!?

I took 30 but it was my first build. I ****ed with the heatsink fan for 15 though. xD

 

Do you read a newspaper while doing it then?

Yes. Twice as a matter of fact.

Good for you, Mr Professional.

It took two-and-a-half for my last one. I spent an hour trying to get the power supply off(I hate star screws), half-an-hour using metal snips to make the old faceplate for the power supply fit, and another hour putting it on and hooking it up.

 

To be fair, I was eating and watching Stargate while I was building. Non-distracted, I can do it in twenty flat.
