runzlord: I swear if i had the money, i would build mine too. Besides the index score max. Is 7.9 so 7.8 is awesome. My system is 3.3

nah index score max is 9.9
I have seen 8.1 and 8.8 wella

A friend seems interested and wants an exact build like mine
hehe

runzlord: so cool.....i wish i had one. Or could u build one 4 me?
Any way i wanted to ask how much u invested in this project? And how did u get the parts to nigeria? Does amazon have a branch here?

I used myamericanshipper.com to purchase most of the items from amazon and they shipped to me trough DHL. The rest of the items I got them down here through "mikkyangel" after amazon suspended my account for reasons I don't know yet.
I started saving and planning towards this say in July after selling off my ps3 for not leaving up to my expectations as a true media hub apart from gaming gaming gaming
the costs are all on amazon but for the shipping costs,be ready to shell out btw 60-70k depending on the agent you are using.

windows experience index of 7.8
i was actually expecting an 8.1

Here is a link to my post in the computer section
https://www.nairaland.com/1475841/building-home-theater-pc-htpc
I have basically put up a serious gaming pc in a small form factor casing.
don't let the size fool you

Other accessories I bought along
a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo mk520 and Microsoft Xbox 360 game pad for windows

I am running windows 8 pro for now.
will probably upgrade to windows 8.1 in the coming week when it releases.
just to point out that, my computer boot time is about 6 seconds due to installing windows on a solid state drive as against conventional hard disk

Parts for the build are
1. Intel core i5 3750k 3.4ghz quad core

2. Gigabyte H77N- WiFi motherboard LGA 1155

3. SAMSUNG 120GB 840 series SSD

4. WD 1 TB HDD Blue

5. Corsair vengeance 2x4GB (8GB) ram

6. Coolermaster geminii m4 CPU cooler

7. coolermaster elite 120 advanced mini ITX casing

8. Corsair cx 430M PSU

9. EVGA Geforce GTX 660 2GB graphic card

10. Asus bluray DVD/CD RW burner drive

The versatility of a home theater pc (HTPC) cannot be overemphasized . HTPC are usually small form factor PC build- mini ITX cases that just sits in your living room connected to your wall mounted TV and yet provides every form factor of entertainment you can think of.
this is actually my first ever computer build from scratch. all parts for the build were purchased online at amazon.com. and it took me two sleepless nights to totally assemble it-due to work
I practically wanted to use this as my media center hub running XBMC or Plex and also some serious gaming when am in the mood

I Just finished building a home Theater PC (HTPC). Its my first computer build ever. All parts were purchased on Amazon.com including the evga gtx 660 gpu.
i Will be making a comprehensive post mater on

Mikky
I believe the Logitech keyboard and mouse MK520 is for me
I am not Alex
just saying so that there wouldn't be any confusion at olodi apapa

mikkyangel: "ALL ITEMS SHIPPED ON FRIDAY(2 DAYS AGO) ARE NOW IN LAGOS AND HAVE BEEN CLEARED FROM CUSTOMS" PLEASE WAIT TILL 1pm MONDAY AFTERNOON FOR PICK"


PLEASE SEE PAGE 94 FOR THE LIST OF ITEMS THAT JUST LANDED....Thanks

Mikky are the items ready for pickup?
whats the latest?

Tonjeola1: not a home delivery?
hope the DHL guys no extort u? as they used to do when shipping thru myus.com

funnily I wasn't billed any additional fee by customs or dhl
I went to their office instead because I used my home address instead of my office and my office is like 20mins drive to NAHCO

I made payment to amazon using my uba mastercard but my shipping address was for that giving to me by myamericanshipper.com
normally it will take say 4-5 working days for amazon to ship to the address you provided but if you are an amazon prime member, it will probably take you 2 working days.
Once your goods get to myamericanshipper, they catalogue and photograph it and upload it to your account page. this process can take an additional 1-2days before you see your goods being reflected on your account.
If everything is in order just click on ship and you will be billed appropriately. my goods was shipped out on a Thursday and by Monday I went straight to DHL office at NAHCO to pick it up

I received my goods from myamericanshipers.com within 3 working days

The church and money is like bee and honey. Inseparable and yet insatiable

i am having the same problem with my UBA MAstercard too on amazon.com
the truth is i actually used it for the first time on the 5th of September to buy computer accessories worth about 110k and i was billed accordingly by UBA bank. the goods were shipped to my customized address in myamericanshipper.com.
All of a sudden when i tried shopping 3 days later on amazon.com they rejected my orders and requested i fax my mastercard billing statement. i contacted UBA customer care and even forwarded the email i received from amazon to them detailing my predicament with amazon. they replied me that i should contact amazon to get in touch with UBA through email or their customer care lines. i forwarded the mail i recived from UBA to amazon and for over a week now amazon is yet to rectify my account with them.
At this point i am short of ideas on how to go about rectifying this.
PS. i contacted UBA branch at ilupeju and they seem confused about the whole saga. they don't even have fax machines grin to begin with

Xiaomi's talk about doubling smartphone sales over last year sounded a tad ambitious, but it turns out it had a secret weapon. The company just announced the Red Rice smartphone, a pretty decently spec'd model priced at a mere 799 yuan ($130). For that pittance, Chinese buyers will get quite a bit: a quad-core MediaTek CPU, 4.7-inch 720p screen (312 ppi) with Gorilla Glass 2, 1GB RAM, 4GB storage, China Mobile's TD-SCDMA 3G, dual-sim / dual standby capability, an 8-megapixel rear camera and Xiaomi's MIUI-flavored Android. Though it's lacking the WCDMA-3G used by other Chinese networks, China Mobile's 70 percent market share should give Xiaomi more than enough users to hit its targets, especially at that price
