Cleaned up my case.

No more SLI as the only game I play on PC is 2142.

Put the drive bay higher.

What's that. a HDD?

No more ugly sticker, airbrushed my cover all black

I see

I'm soo tempted to buy a 780 mobo and get another GTX, I have the moeny, but I just don't need it. But I waaaants it!

I'll save up, build a fresh rig in a year or two. I guess.

Tempted as you are, upgrading now would not be a smart move, the time to do a full upgrade would be around X-mas, the 48xx series will be fully released and so will the GT200 models. LGA1366 will be available etc. I'm not gonna upgrade anymore, I'm set to build a perfect rig without replacing anything.

I'm skipping next generation and going to make a scratch rig after that one. My current one will do fine for a couple of more years.

Jenspm: penis; +1,716|6943|St. Andrews / Oslo

lol, necro. I made a 7V modded extension cable for my CPU fan.

My original plan was to make a 5V/12V switch, but I couldn't find the micro-switch I needed in the stores, so imma order one on the internet tomorrow.

Anyway:

Sup3r_Dr4gon: Boat sig is not there anymore; +214|6538|Australia

Fan controller for the front intake:

https://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/The_R4ptor_M4gnum/1.jpg

These are the switches for the lights. I wanted to be able to access them without taking the side off my case, so I got a 5.25" panel from an old beige tower and drilled holes for them. The middle switch isn't attached to anything yet, but I am thinking of going getting some UV-reactive stuff and putting my old 12" UV light back in.

https://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/The_R4ptor_M4gnum/2.jpg

I put this on a while ago. It's a 12" green cathode stuck on the bottom of my case with packing tape. I got the idea after playing NFS:U 2, but didn't want to go through the hassle of drilling holes for cable ties. Surprisingly, I've never had to replace the tape.

https://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i235/The_R4ptor_M4gnum/3.jpg

With four feet of green lighting in my case, it looked odd when I put my external drive next to it, due to it's bright blue light. I couldn't be bothered to get an LED to replace it with, so I got some yellow cellophane and stuck it between the perspex front and the LED. Its not a bright as it once was - you can only really see it in the dark - but it works.

My main rig. Just about everything is ghetto. Just look at it.

And I added my small UPS to drive my screens and stereo. The battery is about 8x the size of the actual UPS:

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Apart from the fans I fried (Protip: 24V is not good for em) or fucked up with other methods (broken blades, ripped out cables, lost their housing for some project, ...) I've never had a fan die on me

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

i had a white LED 120mm fan die once. well, it didn't die, but it would need a jump-start. it was useless to me so i just bought another one.

I got tired of the 3-metre cable going from the UPS to the modem, so I set it up with dedicated batteries.

Now that's ghetto. I had a laptop with a completely raped screen (the LCD was broken to pieces, useless), and my mum's laptop screen got broken about a year after my laptop's, so i took her slightly broken (one small crack) 15.4" widescreen screen and replaced my old non widescreen screen with it. And taped it on

more pics to follow when i bother installing an O/S on it, it'll be slightly more irritating than usual as the DVD drive in it is broken

That thing looks a bit too fragile to be useful as a laptop.

it's not massively fragile, but i don't plan on lugging it around too much, it'll really server as a Web/MSN/etc machine which will sit next to my main machine, i might take it out with me occasionally but not too often
