Be prepared for the messiest case you've ever seen. Keep saying I'll clean it up but I might as well wait now till I put in the new board and card in a few weeks. I used to have another build that I sold to Christophicus a few months ago and I really wish I'd kept the modular hyper psu from that. It's the third picture. The second one is my other 'powerhouse' - 500mhz, 384mb ram and Radeon 9200. Use it for playing divx/xvid, emulators and older games (currently playing Kingpin and Mortyr) on a projector. Very fond of it.

TerrorFirmer

Well, finally got a modular power supply, put in my new hardware and tidied things up.

Rattlehead_ie

Well, Just finished off my new build so all nice new and shiney,heres lots of pics,inside and out.

New case/parts. Third picture is the old one, re-built with cheap 2nd hand parts around what was left.

Slight update. New monitor - still can't believe it only cost 260 euro. Don't think I've much more upgrading planned until September now, fairly happy with it for once.

extreme? whats extreme?

the 42u was pretty cheap - not much more than my new case. about 500eur including 2 switches, lots of cables, kvm switch, ups and other stuff; it was worth it alone for the ups. I use it to both house my two computers (desktop/server) and my podcasting gear - which is what actually takes up most of it (patch bay, mixer, firewire console, tube composer). I'd take a pic of it now if i could, but my camera is busted.

Nice 1, Anti will ruin it with his 0.1Megapixel watch camera pics

I think its actually a good idea to have a thread like this and allow chat, sometimes in the build gallery thread i fee l like asking bout things i see, but cant. You could even edit out all the pointless remarks every so often, buit leave the main posts.

got to agree with you there, whats the point of showing off your gear if you cant rub it into others faces, only to get shot down in the next post. thats what its all about!

speaking of which: TerrorFirmer, is that monitor glossy?

I've seen lots of glossy laptop screens, not a one that was for a desktop - it seems like you've got an unusual amount of reflection on the corner there.

partyatmygaff

wow nice to see a thread of mine being stickied

Anyways, would take a pic now but my entire desk is covered with thermal paste tubes screw drivers and crap from pin modding my E2180 so im gonna take a pic 2moro with my new Nokia N95(Getting it tomorrow)

@sink thats one sexy as hell computer!

Anyone here ever mod their case with saws and crap ?
thinking of adding a window to my crappy dell case and blanking out the dell logos etc.

Actually yeah it is quite reflective - it's a great screen, brilliant for COD4. That's a cathode reflected in it in the picture....

Unbelievable value for 269 euro. Was expecting it to be a bit crap. Like it a lot more then my old Samsung 205bw.

Pixmania have some good prices right now on 24" monitors....
