Story:
Duct Tape Computer
-Duct tape dampening system for hard drive
-2 12" CCFL Black Lights
-Soon will replace small cpu fan with silent fan

This computer is a file server for our house. I don't have a monitor hocked up to it, I VNC into. Also use it for kazaa and I'm going to look into turning it into a http server.

Call me CRAZY!! i might be a little extreme here, but maybe he should buy a PC case

If he is going to run a website of it i think it would sound pretty stupid saying "website down due to duct tape falling apart" O_o

YOu can't get dual athlon 64 FXs, and an OC of that much would require a damn lot of cooling since their normal running speed is 2.2Ghz.

Why get a CD-RW in a super PC

Why 3 gigs? My SK8N (Athlon 64 FX-51) can hold 8GB. Why PC3200 too? A 1.6 gig bus needs better RAM! (if you got the money to spend).

The ASUS Athlon 64 FX/Opteron motherboards all have dual CPU support and only 5 PCI slots though.

Why 4x120GB? Why not 4 of those 150gig 10,000 RPM SCSI drives?
Or at least 4x250 gig.

I reckon a 9800XT or FX5950 would be better than that.

[RGX]

Apparently the Wildcats are terrible for games, I would agree that 9800XT would be much better suited.

Also, the fastest memory you can afford. As Mad Cat says, ideally you want the memory running at the same speed as the frontside bus, so with a FSB that huge you need some mega fast memory.

this i did using my scanner, its a very bad picture and i plan to get much better ones here soon if i get my digital camera soon.


(its two scans put together so it looks really messed. and some stuff was cut out, the hard drive is at the bottom, power supply top left, and cdrw is top right above the dvdrom which u CAN see.


i also tried to get a picture of my fan speed controller which i made myself but the picture didnt come out. (its nothing glamorous anyway)

Sprocket has asked that I inform you that she is in no way noisy, obtrusive or otherwise not a perfect lady.
In operation, she purrs and, due the fact that she hovers several inches above her bench, no vibration at all is transmitted.

Just setting the record straight.
