Post by: PIE on July 29, 2007, 05:41:12 am: I've seen that case before and thought it looked sorta flimsy.. especially the front panel thing.. my friend however thought it was pretty awesome when he saw it, so any thoughts on it after building a system around it?

What os are you gonna put on there?
I'd probably suggest another gig of mem... 1gig seems to be on the low end for most stuff these days.

Where are your cathodes, leds and lasers!?! Where is your window with a skull etched into it and your multi-color strobing fans?

I assume by the lack of details, that you put no thought or care into that choice.

However good you computer is at number crunching, a slow disk will cripple it for desktop stuff and everyday use. The lack of ram only makes it worse.

I was pleasantly surprised when the small 160W car-pc power supply started all five discs at once.

Post by: Bullislander05 on August 03, 2007, 01:47:49 am: How much did your new computer cost oblivion? It looks pretty good.

I built my own a couple of months ago, no pics, sorry. But, it cost about 2k (Including the monitor (22'', $350) and sound system (Simply kickass, $400). Besides that, it does everything I want it to.

I love to build computers. It's a hobby of mine, and one thing it does is remove all the adware that other companies add to theirs. I have an old HP that would be able to run smoothly, but instead is crippled due to all of the HP adware they have running non-stop. I just don't deal with it cuz it's a bitch to get rid of all of that stuff.

Post by: Fluxflashor on August 03, 2007, 09:31:27 am: The sliding drive bays own, wish my case had those. Who manufactured the case its looks nice. I have some pics of my rig, looks decent but the specs are an insult to humanity. Gets the job done though, waiting for a decent sale on coldcathodes at a place near me and then my case will look a lot better.

Side panels own.

Current Specs:
-> ECS M810D Motherboard
-> AMD Duron 1.05 - 1.2 GhZ SpitFire
-> 32 MB Integrated SiS 740 GPU
-> About 512 RAM, just below it a bit for an odd reason
-> Two Hardrives, 1 40GB Maxtor and 1 20GB Maxtor, wish I remember where my 60GB went >.>
-> DVD+r/-r Drive
-> 450 Watt PSU
-> Couple of LED Fans

And a pic of it before I bought mycase:
(http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q89/fluxflashor/Picture.jpg)

And after:

[Photobucket doesnt have my new pics anymore for some reason, and I lost my camera cable, post one later]

I like the system Oblivion, but would rather see a Nvidia with that rig :P

=\ I dunno where the OS CD is. I'm too lazy to do anything about it, so I'm just not gonna use that computer. One day I might just dual-boot with Linux with it, but that would only be for kicks.

Overall my system cost little over $900
And the case is the P180 made by Antec.
It would be nice to have the P190 case, I like the specs on it

But yea the side panels do own ;)
