Ah yes locky but mine is NOT an Intel, it is an AMD 6000+ rated at 125W and 1.4V so it is not doing too bad for what it is.

I know the Core 2's run cooler and use less power but I have "chosen" AMD and am planning on their new quad cores being as good as they say will be, but that is for another discussion and another time :roll:
 
Fair enough, I remember my old 3500+ stock cooler would do about 4000RPM although it wasn't that loud, Hope that Barcy changes things for you 😉
 
mousemonkey, next?

I have no idea what is next, I have been mucking around with it so much lately, I may just spend a while actually using the damn thing.

Once I am used to it, I think I will be having a fair go at overclocking it to see what it can actually do, I am looking forward to that.

I think the next change may be a while off, probably when the new AMD CPU's are released, I would love one of their quad cores if they end up being anywhere as good as they are supposed to be.
 
I have updated the pictures of my Antec Nine Hundre based rig, they are much better now, beware you guys on dial-up, they are approx 400Kb each :wink:

Here is one for your enjoyment:

Saving for Benq 24in, desk will have to wait. Really didn't feel like pulling the sides off they're a pain in the a$$. Case is so big I had to rest it on my CD case.
 
Now i really don't wanna post my rig pic.
😳
Nothing compares to these past few pages. Also i gotta break out the compressed air on the interior, its not that bad though.
 
Don't feel bad, last fall I sold my old system in anticipation of building one and up until about a month ago have been using this

P2 333 192mb RAM

Giving it to my GF so she'll stay off mine.

I have to say though notice the OEM DVD drive. This thing having a DVD drive is like a system today having a Blue-Ray drive. Must have been quite a machine in it's day.
 
Nice rig. Love the black on grey look. Very metal looking.

Now i really don't wanna post my rig pic.

No one's going to reg on you for not have a nice looking case, and if they do we'll rag on them back. Plus, we can maybe give you some ideas and suggestions to make your case look nicer and maybe mod it.
 
Yeah, wiring is alot better than when i bought it. Ended up being one of those "quick-fix" things, cuz i needed a pc. I want to window mod it, right now i have a sheet of paper plugging the holes on the side of the case. My video card temps are down 5c with my "paper-mod"!! Pics coming soon...
 
Nice rig mate, looks sweet, but then I clicked the link at bottom of your post and... well I think I'm in love, I mean, OMFG WTF did you see the, I mean look at the, by the power of greyskull check out that **reaches for kleenex** uuughh oh yeah. 😳
 
holy COW! project DREAM is finally finished! i can't believe i missed that... its so beautiful. i remember when it was just a sketch! mcneillm, yours is a beaut, too... and that other rig is just out of this world. like, actually, it is. i appreciate the work, but i didn't really watch he man or whatever so... 🙁

but, for those of you who are reluctant to post, just go back and look at my rig, and feel better about yours :lol:
 
You guys should check out some of the cases at www.thebestcasescenario.com's forums. Especially by a guy named defyant. He takes old HP cases that look like this:

And turns them into ultra-sleek cases, like this:

8O I can't believe those are HP cases. (mine is still fugly :? )
Well i have some upgrades enroute to my house, so next week i get to post my rig up here. It won't be near as mind blowing but i think i can be satisfyed(for now :wink: ). At least until i get my hands on a dremel and a hole saw. :twisted:
