Hi all.
I have been busy with a lot of stuff since last, including my new computer, which is freakin' awesome btw.
I bought a computer case a few years back a Cooler Master Cosmos S, It has been standing empty until i could gather funds for its equipment, and to find a shop that could attach the CPU on the motherboard and a good CPU cooler, I was not sure what CPU cooler I would put in the build so I choose one on recommendation, a NH-D14, that thing is larger then I thought..

Here is an interior screenshot after attaching the MoBo inside the case.
Big CPU cooler, ain't it?
It may not look like it on the picture, but I could attach memory in all slot without to much problem.
My SSD drive (main hard drive) took a bit of time to get into the Hard drive holding unit as I had to attach a 2'5 to 3'5 kit on it so it would be compatible with the case.
The 2TB HDD wasn't easy to attach either, cause for some reason it was a little thicker then the Hard drive holding units slots, so I had to pretty much force it in but it worked.
The rest was pretty much straight forward, exception from the PSU as it is bottom mounted in the case, I thought it was best to invest in a +600W PSU so I went with a OCZ-ZX850W (80+ Gold) so got enough juice to play with and modular cable setup so less cables to hassle with :)
After all that I installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64, works out well with the 12 GB RAM I have in the computer...
Why that amount?, well I thought I ordered 6GB, but I misread the labels thinking it was 2 packs of 3GB, when it was in fact (2x) packs of 3 sticks of 2GB, oops :D
so thinking everything is fine I install everything nothing seems wrong, a failure in the installer fro the GPU, didn't think much of it since the computer seems to work around whatever is missing, however...
I thought just for fun I'll check how high the score with Futuremark benchmark will get me, it ran ok until it was going to calculate the points, apparently this error that I pretty much ignored, reads out as if my GPU was 1MB rather then the 2GB it is...
I have been trying to read up on AMD forums about it but nothing seems available on it, is it a Windows 7 x64 error perhaps? ...no idea...
Anyway, the computer works fine as it is anyway and thankfully I have been able to calm myself from the anxiety and stress the new comp build has given me and all that, I am just happy I can now play games with high quality and smooth graphics (always a plus)
60% of my days are in front of my computer and it is not something I really wished for really, due to the lack of local venues and the deep-reluctance in my subconscious called 'agoraphobia', that which I believe is lined in with my fear of having a panic attack in a public place, again...
I had a really horrible panic attack in the "Tekniska Högskolan" subway station in Stockholm a few years back where I ended up lying in the middle off the station floor for more than an hour, the attack was so intense I had apparently vomited and been unable to even sit up for most of the time, I had also been slugish in speech and not been hard to keep in contact with, two people apparently had in the morning rush hour traffic stoped up to check on me and contacted my parents on my phone.
I do not remember the two people nor remember anything after I had steped on the subway car at "Danderyds Sjukhus" until I woke up later in the afternoon in my bed ..apparently I had showered before i got in bed and slept in the towel straight after, I could not remember anything and got to know later that day what had happend.
I am thankful that two people in this stressful world took concern of someone they did not know that was in apparent trouble and was not able to help themself in such a situation, I wish I could thank them face to face, but I guess that will probably never happen... but, where ever they are they should know that I thank them from the bottom of my heart.
