cases

Can't be arsed to re-find the other case thread and bump it up. No doubt it was filled with the same quality posts we come to expect from the OffTopic forum these days.

Aaaanyway, post your pictures, let us know the stats, and generally pimp your rig.

Box1:
"Blade" - The Gaming Rig (dual boot Windows XP / FedoraCore 1)
-AthlonXP (Barton core) 2800+ oc'ed to 2420Mhz, Vantec Aero cooler, running at 40°C.
-DFI UV-Reactive LanParty nforceII Ultra mobo.
-1 GB Crucial DDR333 RAM
-Crucial (Ati) Radeon 9800Pro 128MB

The case window is a premodded one. UV reactive everything, and a shiny Coolermaster Musketeer at the front to finish things off. Enough fans to cause major hearing problems. Next build will be watercooled hopefully.



Dear god I need some cable ties...


Box2:
"Balzac" - the server (Red Hat 9, soon to be FreeBSD)
-AthlonXP 2400+ (Thoroughbred core) @ stock speed. Coolermaster Aero7 Lite hsf (mmm quiet).
-ASUS A7V266 board
-1GB Crucial DDR266 ram
-GeForce3ti200
-200GB 8MB Cache Western Digital Caviar
-60GB Maxtor DiamondMax
Custom casemod, which didn't come out as well as it could have, coupla uv lights, and some orange-reactive cabling.

Box3:

Check the manual pages for the driver you are using. eg the nvidia proprietry driver has a option. So set that to ignore tv-out and crt, and give it another try.

cant computers just be a box? i don't bother to look at that thing 0_o
except when i look for the power or reset button (thanks windows)

yah.. they're called MACs

I can't help it, I'm just enthralled by the pretty lights...

In some ways, I'm like a moth.
In many, many more accurate and true ways, I'm not...

Oh, and macs are fucking gorgeous. I crave the day when I can afford a G5.

if it's a box with some neat features inside (e.g. simple change of drives, etc): sure, why not? -_-

i'm the same way, but that's because of my a.d.d.

My mind will automatically focus on bright/colored lights, blinking lights, or shiny things

i love it

Got this Dell laptop right now that pisses me off so I will speak no more of it, but I am going to build a new pc this summer (first time builder)

Here are the parts I'm probably going to get, still need to figure out a monitor.

For the lazy, here's the gist of those parts:
Athlon 64 3200+
MSI K8T800 mobo
1 GB Corsair DDR400 RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro 128 MB
Sound Blaster Audigy 2
Creative Labs 6.1 Speaker system (may go 5.1, who knows)
Maxtor 120 GB IDE (tho I guess SATA is better?)

plus, case, mouse, keyboard, cd drives blah blah blah
