-Silverstone TJ06 (black) case
-Antec NeoPower 480w PSU
-a64 3000+ (Clawhammer) CPU ( cooled by CM Hyper48...TR XP-90 in the mail)
-Abit K8V Pro motherboard
-36GB WD Raptor
-80GB Seagate SATA
-160GB Seagate SATA
-1GB (2x512 MB) Mushkin PC3200
-ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (w/ AC rev.3 cooler)
-Samsung DVD-RW 16x dual layer
-Samsung 52x CD-RW
-Sony FDD (damn SATA install!)
-a bunch of fiddly bits....Sunbeam fan bus ( excellent for performing laser eye surgery, BTW), Bulgin switches (not yet installed),
Nidec 3-blade 120mm fans, etc.

Don't really need all the storage space so the baby Raptor will probably go (anyone want?) and, as usual, the cooling setup is in a constant state of flux.

Pretty happy with the current arrangement, but I plan on migrating to socket 939 this spring after the nForce 4 boards have a chance to mature.

All this money so I can send email and cruise these silly forums.....

Darth,
Having tried both I would recommend you look into the Antec NeoPower PSU over the Ultra.
Although my Ultra worked perfectly, many have had issues with it ( it crashed out of Maximum PC's comparison test).
Another quibble of mine with the Ultra concerned the cables themselves.
Basically, they are just too long and are so nicely made that I couldn't bear to cut them up.
The Antec, while not totally modular like the Ultra ( the ATX and P4 cables are hardwired in as normal) seems to offer better options for modifying the cables to fit length/configuration needs.

That said, both units worked perfectly for me- rails were very stable and power was never an issue.
The Antec is significantly quieter and you might find the "fan-only" header of use ( I do not).
The Antec comes with all the current/future connections (24 pin mobo , SATA, etc), but I'm sure that Ultra will offer these soon ( Ultra will send you SATA cables free if your unit didn't ship with them).

You really can't go wrong with either supply, but I've opted for the Antec for now (which makes my Ultra a very high tech paperweight for the moment....).

Thanks Clocker. I have an older Antec that never failed me...I was thinking about Ultra because of the modular design...but you made some good points. Right now, my cables looks like spagetti. :wacko: I'll definately look into the "Maximum PC" article.

Lets see, although I just overhauled an entire computer that I had, still got a few things lying around,

Server: Hp
900Mhz Athlon Thunderbird,
192MB Ram,
60GB HD.

My Gaming Rig -
Athlon Xp 2500+ Barton. at the typical 11x200 for 2.2Ghz. I've run it at 2.4Ghz though.
Epox 8RDA3+ Rev 3.1? (Its my 6th one, so no idea what rev it is now a days, not much of an OCer anymore.
256MB x 2 of PC2700 (got ripped off, was supposed to be PC4000)
120GB WD, and a 40GB WD HD.
Thermaltake Xaser 11+ for the CPU cooler.
8X DVD+/-R burner
Radeon 9500 Pro Flashed to 9700 Pro and OCed (360/310)
Ahanix Windowed case that they dont make anymore.
LED Fans, etc. Toning things down now, sold my cathodes.
Logitech MX1000
Platronics Audio .90

Laptop: (My new Pride and joy, which I am typing this on.)
3.00Ghz Pentium 4 with Hyper Threading
256 x 2 DDR Ram.
Radeon Mobility 9700 Pro 64MB Dedicated Memory.
15.4 Inch Screen.
60GB HD
DVD +/- Burner.

To get the laptop though, I had to sell my recently bought Xbox, along with my new computer which was in short, socket 754, Sempron 3100+ (overclocked to 2.55 Ghz, so it kicked the crap out of anything you had, this baby was fast. 256x2 of real PC4000, OCed to 267Mhz. 6800 Non Ultra, unlocked to 16Pipes and 6 Vertex Shaders, VNF3-250, 120GB HD.



All of my machines running Folding At Home, btw.

Folding at home = tweaking software?

Folding at home = tweaking software?


Folding at home is a wonderful distributed computing program that Stanford University heads up. They send each computer part of a protein, and your computer, running their small program, crunches the protein and 'folds' it, virtually. (folding is what proteins do, and it is the misfolding of them that causes many diseases like cancer, mad cow disease, etc.) By folding them, hopefully we can learn how they misfold.

Anyway, you get this program, and it downloads small things from stanford to work on, in the background of your computer. If you fire up AIM, it lets AIM use its needed part of the processor, and uses the rest.

If your playing a game. (halo for instance) it uses up that remaining 2 percent that is left (still gets a bit of work done though, and at no performance loss to Halo or any other games.)

And when u walk away from your computer? or dont have any apps running right away using processor power? It gets into full swing and starts folding away.

Your computer sends back the information it does, and you get points, added to your name, and the team you are on and choose, if you are on a team.

The forums here have a team, check people's sig, I know virtualbody Folds, others do as well (their sigs will have links that talk about Folding)

I however folded here for awhile, but went back to my computer folding forum, www.pcper.com which is ranked 14th in the world currently, I believe.

PS: The laptop has a DVD burner as well. ^_^.

This setup...

Shuttle SN45GV2 (Barebone, with onchip soundstorm & Lan card)
AOpen geforce ti4200 128Mb Ram (soon to be updated)
512 Mb Twinmos PC3200 RAM
An IBM floppy
Hitachi DVD rom
Hitachi deskstar 120GB 8Mb cache
Western Digital 40GB
Athlon mobile xp 2500@3200 1.475v mounted with AS5

No flat cables and four fans@100+ cfms (five fans counting the one on the graphics card)

Stock heatpipe cooling for the processor.

Insulated case (was worried that it'd raise my temps, but it seems to have helped me focus the airflow better thus actually helping with the temps, at least short term, while removing all vibrations)

Wrapped screws (to remove vibrations)

It's a work in progress tho', my main rig took a dive this summer, and messed up a lot of components, so I've had to make do with spares in this one.

Components I'm gonna get in the near future (hopefully) are a graphics card (probably an ati 9600xt 256Mb, but possibly a geforce 6600gt if I can think of a way to make the cooling better without raising the sound levels), a dvd burner (or a slim dvd rom from a laptop if possible and an external burner), 512megs more ram, 2-3 hds, an external usb floppy, a different case cover (more open with better airflow), some panflo or everflow fans (one 40-50mm, 1-3 80mm, 1 120mm and maybe one 92mm fan and of course a 80->120mm fan) and some plexiglass and paint.

There may be some extensive cutting and drilling* before I'm satisfied with this case (I just hope I'll have the time and money).

*Not to make it look prettier tho', and I need pretty much all of that plexiglas to improve the cooling by focusing the airflow, 'cept for the paint nothing is purely cosmetic.

Since I bought a shuttle. :D

I'm interested to know why you feel the need for five to eight fans?

I have a very similar Shuttle (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/showpost.php?p=990155&postcount=15), the XPC model KM266-8235, and I only have the stock fan and the fan on my video card and my system consistantly runs at the set temp.

My ambient temps go up something fierce in the summer.

The idea is to mount a push-pull config through the heatpipe radiator (2 fans), a blowhole above the gfx card (and possible another closer to the psu as well) and one intake and one exhaust fan through the front section.

With one extra 3.5 unit in there you need the last to keep the ram and northbridge cool.

And I might actually swap the psu fan.

I'm not the first to think of any of this, and the two front fans I'm already trying, and it's good, but I want different fans. I've also got an akasa blower at the pci slot.

I like my fans :wub:


It goes whoooosh, when all fans are set to max :D


Edit: a lot of fans might be a noticeable power drain tho', so it's still experimental.
