@Shei - I picked up a cheapo SB card for R200. Don't worry about the cost, I got it covered.

Once again thank you to all [grrr] members for the contributions in this project, words simply cannot convey the gratitude.


Yeah, I said "Fuck him, lets get someone new in the clan with actual talent", but sentimentality won out on some of the more caring members.

In truth I had nothing to do with it but glad to see you are ready for pc action dude, its been too long.

Glad to have you back gaming, Stu!!! Sorry I wasn't around this weekend to share in your come-back debut.

Also, sorry 'bout that sound card!!! Was Jarrod able to get you another one? Just let Lep know da price and he'll pay whomever back.
We don't use the on board sound and thought it was the correct card!

mmm, I had a 630W power supply that could not cope with teh same build: Q9450 Quad core and GTX280

It was a strange problem, would work fine and I could game for 10 minutes until suddenly it would just switch off - full power-off

As soon as I upgraded mine from 630W to 750W everything suddenly worked well.

Nice Stu, glad to have you back online again. Thanks for offering up your tags in homage on Saturday night ;)

@Phats - Had my monthly shearing on Saturday morning, so that haircut is as fresh as it comes.

@Paul - Lee suggested a 750W PSU for the build. I think that there is plenty of headroom, but apparently the GTX280 is a bit of a power leech. Regardless, the PSU has 4xPCI-E power connections, so SLI in the future wouldn't be a problem (except for the fact that the Rampage Formula motherboard is an X48 chipset that doesn't support SLI (CrossFire only).

As for the parts, thanks to Sheri and Dirk for the discounted pricing on the Mobo, Ram and CPU and to Lee for the very generous donation of his old graphics card. And of course to the slush fund contributors for permission to use some for this project. It's awesome to see how the clan can pull together to get a brother back online again. One of teh things that makes [grrr] the clan that it is.
