I haven't really had time yet to work a lot on this puppy but I have had previous projects, however I didn't have any pics of them. I still don't have a good digital camera so I have to resort to my crappy web cam. :(

I did drill out the old case switch and bored out the hole so it would fit. Then in order for it to work I had to slap a small resistor on it since there's no internal resistor for the LED.

I wish I did more homework on this case because I can't get the airflow that I want since the RAID drive setup is pop-riveted in place! ARGH!

As for the wiring, I don't know if you can see, but it's supposed to be all neat and clean. After I just installed my new ATI card the wiring went to crap so I'll have to spend some more time this summer re-wiring this beast.

i built this in july '04 with the exception of the vga card; I just recently upgraded the video card since i was not satisfied with nvidia before.

u can afford an x850xt but not a good digicam? :D . nice case. but i personally prefer nvidia sli. if ur going for that type of money 10/10

pacho commented on 2005-04-25 22:00:00 that:

what a waste of money the vga, u should have waited until u upgrade ur pc to the new 64bit cpus and mbs and then get the pci-e version

xBuddhax commented on 2005-04-25 22:00:00 that:

You know something... why would you say a waste of money on his vga choice? Did you ever think that it would cost him more to get a pci-e card? He would have to get a new mobo and new cpu.

pacho commented on 2005-04-25 22:00:00 that:

that's why i said "waited" until he makes the upgrade, with the new 64bit windows released, the dual cores around the corner, intel's SLI mbs, etc, everyone's going to upgrade soon, AGP will die as well as some sockets mbs.
