Re: Post your system.......

Thanks for the nice comments. Before rounded cable, I always tried to keep my interiors routed as neatly as possible. So I began angular folding of the ribbon cable.

Hey guys! Let's keep the pics coming in this thread.

looks like a flashlight freak owns that desktop!

Hey, good eyes! ;-)

Yeah, it's candlepowerforums.com that's opened over my girlfriend's pic on the 20" Dell.
The discovery of high powered LED lights has become as addictive and fun as computers. LuxeonStars are cool! A couple of those in your cases and it'll be lit like a nuclear reactor.

Re: Post your system.......

Hey! I think everyone's cleaning their desktops before taking pictures - your computer desks look "too clean." I post pictures of my computer in about 2 years okay? (It'll take about that long to get this room back in order) LOL.

Re: Post your system.......

My desk has changed a lot since I last posted...... this is my little datacenter....

The Big Bad Servers


A couple backup servers:


A rat's nest that I still need to tidy up (routers and switches)


A rare sneak peek at the server's innards


and of course, my daily use system and new 24" LCD

I'm envious of how low the cpu temps some of you guys are achieving after such successful overclocks.
I'm held back by temps for my T'bred-B overclock. (12.5 x 167 MHz and 48C, 33-35C case)

Although these days, I'm pursuing quiet PC performance. A fast PC should be seen, not heard. ;-)

Nice case, what brand is that?

Re: Post your system.......

My computer desk/room is messy as hell these days!

PCs are sprouting like mushrooms under my desk!



Here's a few more additions to mention since my last post...
I got my hands on 3 freebies a few months ago, (2) Micron PCs w/Intel 1.1GHz Celery Tualatins on Intel 815 motherboards, 512 MB of PC133 CAS2 Micron SDRAM; and a Compaq AMD 1.1GHz Thunderbird on a FIC/Compaq Uwave VIA KT133 based motherboard, 256 MB of SDRAM.
They were all dirty as hell! The following pics are the fruits of my tinkering.

BEFORE:



AFTER:
One of them retained the motherboard/cpu combo. But the TGR psu was swapped with a ACBEL/FortronSource 235W whisper quiet unit.
The HSF was swapped with a Thermaltake Volcano 6 with a 80mm fan grafted to it. Original 92mm case fan swapped for a quieter one out of a Dell workstation.

Intel 1.1 GHz Tualatin Celeron.
Intel D815EFV mATX motherboard.
512 MB PC133 CAS2 Micron SDRAM (maxed-out unfortunately)
Nvidia Geforce4 MX440 64 MB 8x AGP DVI card.
Samsung DVD-ROM.
IDE UDMA-100 HDD slide-out chassis.
VIA chipset USB 2.0 PCI card.
Airnet 11b/g Wifi PCI card.
Win XP sp2.




AFTER part deux:

The 2nd got the intel motherboard pulled and the recapped DFI ATX Socket-A motherboard took up residence. I still have some finishing touches before it's operational. (re-attach northbridge heatsink, solder jumpers to case wire harness) Eventually, a recapped Powerman 250W psu will replace the F-yu capped TGR psu.
I plan to try out Astaro Security Gateway with it.

DFI AK74-SC VIA KT133 ATX Socket-A.
AMD 1.0 GHz Thunderbird.
Thermaltake Volcano 6cu with 80mm fan grafted on.
340 MB PC133 CAS2 SDRAM.
Nvidia 16 MB AGP VGA card (unknown).
20 MB Maxtor.
Memorex CDR-W, Hitachi DVD-ROM.
(1) 3Com PCI NIC
(2) Netgear PCI NIC.




Here's what I did with the Compaq...
Stripped it bare of parts and tossed the fugly minitower case, and utilized a spare old In-win mATX case. Combined it with parts from my defunct DFI-AMD media PC in previous post. It's now running as my current media PC in my living room, and double-duty as internet gateway/router.

Compaq Uwave/FIC VIA KT133 mATX motherboard.
250W Delta psu.
AMD 1.1 GHz Thunderbird.
512 MB PC133 CAS2 Micron SDRAM.
30 GB Maxtor (slim-line), 40 GB WD.
Compaq/Samsung DVD-ROM, and Philips CDR-W.
Mad Dog SiS TV-64 AGP 2x.
Airnet 11b/g WiFi PCI card.
NEC based USB 2.0 PCI card.
DLink PCI NIC.
Win2000 sp4.

Re: Post your system.......

Okies, here is the beauty, notice the front of the chassi, it's a Lian-Li PC6277 but by default it only has a 80mm intake fan/hdd cage. Did not like that so I bought a Lian Li EX-34 hdd cage that has a 120mm fan instead...
Of course it came bare so I had to get the LED plastic bits and power and reset buttons in place, good thing I have access to a laser cutting machine

Also in the picture is the new Eizo S2000K 20.1" LCD

[daRk_Kon]

Re: Post your system.......

did most of the mods myself on my chasis, pix below

amd dual core x2 3800+ overclcoked @ 2.5ghz stock voltage
temps: idle=29c load=39c
512x2 =1gb dual channel ddr400 ballistics overclocked @ ddr500 speeds timings 3-3-3-6-9-18
hitachi "deathstar" 80gb
DFI SLI-DR with modded heatsinks on motherboard and replaced the stock fan with VC-RE evercool fan. (temps dropped 6c on bridge)
zalman CNPS 9500 LED
7800GT overclocked @ 470/1100
and a 500w PSU (forget the name but but its an off brand of antec) with 28amps on the +12v rail.







cut a couple holes in the back of my chasis, who said i dont have enough holes? pfft...


anyways, here are my other side rigs:

2.4ghz P4 northwood stock
pc-800 512mb (ya i know.... its rambus )
A1 revision: leadtek A6200TD 128mb 128bit AGP that, let me tell you, is one HELL OF A CARD stock is 325/550 or something and i overclocked this mofucca to 450/700 with pipelines unlocked to 8 pixel 3 vertex, thing is A BEAST, temps go way to high though so i need to custom a cooler for it im working on currently.

my other two rigs are 2.2ghz p4s that i got out of the trash and fixed up, mx420s in both of em with 256mb ram pc133

two other rigs that are 1ghz p3, nothing special, and two slot 1 comps taht are in storage in teh attic somewhere

Re: Post your system.......

you looking for that 478 motherboard with the 6pci slots? i have a PCI riser card that will let you put two more PCI cards in but its made for a LPX case, you know one of those compact and tight cases.

Re: Post your system.......

I think it's fun to see where everyone is sitting at when they are typing away :-). Here's my messy setup.

I am using an old 15" Dell monitor sitting on a notebook stand with front propped up by a couple of 2x4 blocks. I pinched the cable on my 19" a couple months ago and haven't had the $$$ to buy another monitor yet. This one works :-). No fancy chair either! The back was falling off so I removed it and just deal with sitting up instead of slouching in my seat! LOL

My computer is an 2002 Gateway 500X. The original harddrive was going bad, so I put in my old 30gb harddrive. I installed a card reader in the empty 3.5" slot. I put in a larger psu and a new video card. It's all pretty basic though - nothing fancy. KVM switch to share the mouse, monitor and keyboard with the old Dell Dimension L566cx (inherited) that's sitting under the desk.
