Bought a Biostar AKA (BioShit) Motherboard

It must not like you then. Mine works pretty well. Although I really wished I had picked up a SB700.

Buying a Thermaltake liquid-cooling kit. What a waste of $100 dollars.

Buying my 6800GS at Fry's. I could have gotten it $70 cheaper online.

Bought a cheapo motherboard... Can't OC too well or doesnt work that great in general...

Forgot to plug in the computer... Took me 3 weeks and a new motherboard to figure that one out...












I'm not that stupid.

I forgot to connect the power connector into the motherboard and spent an hour wondering why it wouldn't start.

LOL - i like that one

the only thing i did wrong. was not taking time to do some minor cable management
and having to work a couple more hours later on to fix it.

1) Didn't take the time to look around for deals

3) Too excited...and rushed to get it built whereas i should have spent more time organizing such as cable management.

Those and forgetting to plug in my 12v aux,i was thinking i had screwed up big time,until i looked closely
