So, it begins!

I've acquired the first part of my desktop - a lovely rather large (the case comes up to my knee, the box came up to my hip!) cosair 600T. It was a bit of an adventure getting it back - took public transport and had to lug the great big box  to the bus stop and home. It was rather too large to smuggle as i initially intended, so mom told dad and i should very likely NOT have to smuggle hardware in in future - i can probably just bring it in to upgrade the system - which will happen.

Its very roomy, lets you tuck most of the cables out of sight, and lets me install a half dozen 3.5 or 2.5 inch hard drives *and* up to 4 optical drives (with no screws). Unfortunately, since i don't actually have the *rest* of this computer yet, i ended up switching the components off my dell into this case to try it out. As such, i'll start off with the internals, made up of random junked computer parts, and gradually upgrade it into a decent gaming box ;)
