I know a few ppl will have pics of their comps

This is my current main comp. 7 internal HDD's, 2 HDD caddys, DVD Drive, Raid card, PCI gfx card, PCI fan and 8 case fans.

My new case for my new file server is the great Antec P180

its very pro!

Are those 2 fans on the right even doing anything?

I should post a pic of my computer but i'll do that next time i crack the case open.

All the fans were on in that pic, the comp was on, u can tell cuz of the blue led light. Its a very noisy comp.

And some old pics from old comp.

Here's a pic of the inside of my PC when I installed a fan the other day.

It's not that great however (the CPU is a P3 700 mhz coppermine). I don't like the case at all. (Poor ventilation, and sorta cramped. Although it's not that big of an issue because my CPU and GPU run pretty cool).

Here's some pics of the exterior/interior of my computer:

The middle image is grainy because I took it without the flash and a slow shutter speed. Thought I could pull more information out of it but eh, go figure. It gives a generally good view. Also, the colored glow is not exagerated... it actually glows like that in the dark...

Also, I noticed that the fan blades are crystal clear (no motion blur). They actually do move (otherwise I'd have lost a lot of hardware a long time ago)... the camera's shutter speed was a hell of a lot faster than I thought it would be.

cant really see much because of the big ass 110 volt fans

doesnt have the removable bays in it tho. With the bays i got room for 8 HDDS.

OMG hacker is that a Gateway lol. I work on those kinda computers all the time with there slot one processors lol.

Quality case there Leeor

The grey mobo looks real nice.

Thank you, Levi...

I posted these on my website also but, anyways here it is

. The computer isn't done yet cuz I gots to buy 3 more TV tuners (including a HD tuner w00t) and have a contractor build a Media Room and mount my Projector so I can turn my 505watt Speakers to the max with-out peoples yelling at me :heh:

Here's a close up

Very nice case and comp there

. I've spent around $1,500 on it so far and still isn't done ><

If you had a PCI-e slot and waited, you could've gotten a Radeon X1900XTX and you'd have spent $1850 total

anyone ever ben to www.frozencpu.com ?

I worked there for 3 weeks once ^_^... but sadly I was laied off because of a management scandal with Computer usa.

I sould post pics of my computers they are uber and totaly modded out. I made my server's case, its 100% rack mountable and 100% made by me from scrap metal

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #13 on:** January 28, 2006, 09:31:35 PM »

Looks to be a 8 or 10 inch sub I got 2 6.5 inch and a 10

Oprime · « **Reply #14 on:** January 28, 2006, 10:09:17 PM »

It's a 10in sub. The whole set when I bring it to full kind of hurts my body and shakes the house (no joke). I almost never take it pass 1/3 volume. Look up the specs of the speakers they pwn ^^. PCI-E is overrated. 90% of games and software can't use such power so I'll wait until there are games that can deal a blow in performace to such cards before I upgrade. Only game i've seen that can do that is FEAR. I can hardly play that game on my comp at medium settings. I'll sell my x850XTPE to my friend and buy that Geforce 7800GS thats gonna come out for AGP. Or should I wait a little bit longer I hear ATI might make a PCI-E to AGP bridge for their Highend x1800+ series cards.

Wait. For one thing, ATi's AA scheme is programmable (unlike nVidia's), so you can use floating-point (or whatever it was called) HDR and AA at the same time. NVidia's cards can't.

As for PCI-e being overrated, currently, that is true, but in the future, it will be useful (when multi-core GPU's really start making a difference and when we get into holographic (which can display true 3D images) displays).

I had to turn off all the lights, take the pic at night, and slow down the shutter speed of the digi cam for this o.O. btw I had to remove my x850xtpe from this comp and put it on the computer to the right because there was a video card incompatibility issue with its new mobo which I posted on these forums a while back xD. I need a tripod ._.

Leviathan · « **Reply #17 on:** February 02, 2006, 11:03:59 AM »

Great blue fan in the back there

Looking sweet~!

My file server is built now and it rox, need to get a pic of it

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #18 on:** February 02, 2006, 11:32:02 AM »

i hate lights inside computers.

Arklon · « **Reply #19 on:** February 06, 2006, 11:04:57 PM »

DON'T get the 7800GS AGP. It's almost exactly like a 6800 ultra. Not impressive at all. (Though the 7800GS's average framerate is higher than the 6800U's, frame rate diagrams show little differences, except in BADLY coded pixel shaders (F.E.A.R.'s soft shadows)). That, and the colors produced by nVidia cards are cartoony when compared to ATi's...

Edit: And you went and ordered it already. >:O

Oprime · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2006, 05:32:29 PM »

My X850XTPE is more powerful then the 6800Ultra. But the thing is both the X850XTPE and 6800Ultra are extremely rare. I sold my X850XTPE to my friend for $420 and got this card (which is even faster) for $325 with shipping. Can't even find many places that sell 6800Ultra's that are AGP and for less then $500!? I find this as a very good investment when you consider that my computer is getting older and older.

I find that Athlon64/FX chips aren't even that noticeable for my uses. Windows Vista can run very well on my computer when it comes out. The Most powerful Computer (for it's age) is what I'm looking for without having to use massive money for minimal performance gain.

I also forgot to mention that most of the features on the 6800Ultra that it was supposed to have are broken or not working at all (Pure Video anybody). The Geforce 7800GS I've ordered is supposed to perform just a little under the Geforce 7800GT at stock which can't be used in an AGP system. Need I even mention the fact that the Geforce 6800Ultra has an overheating problem and that the X850XTPE uses a lot of electricity?

Arklon · « **Reply #21 on:** February 07, 2006, 05:38:02 PM »

eBay.

Unfortunately, me moving from my current AGP setup to a PCI-e setup would require a new processor as well (can't find socket 478 PCI-e motherboards anywhere, even though they do exist), and a new video card of course (unless someone makes an adapter that allows you to put an AGP card in a PCI-e slot that can work with normal size cards). Maybe I'll magically get a generic wad of cash.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #22 on:** February 07, 2006, 07:49:15 PM »

i doubt such a adapter would ever be made beacause of the position of the cardslot openings and mounting of the card to secure it. Yes i know you can cut the back of your case to make it work but is that really worth it. People just have to suck it up and buy new computer parts. I will Convert my computer to a PCI e mobo this year or next year.

Arklon · « **Reply #23 on:** February 07, 2006, 09:28:14 PM »

I'd have a picture of my computer, but the case I ordered came broken (need to RMA it... THE PROCESS TAKES TOO f***ING LONG >_<) and my digital camera's broken.

Hacker, if you think that case is cramped, you should see the inside of my damn Dell Dimension 3000 case @_@ Bad ventilation and it only supports MicroATX size motherboards.

Freeza-CII · « **Reply #24 on:** February 07, 2006, 11:34:19 PM »

Well considering that hacker has like the lowest end computer on here lol.
