Re: Project Log: Hybrid Twist

well, hybrid's back up. No clue what the video issues are, but i've made some changes (different stand-offs, different PCI devices in different slots, few other things), and it's running stable for now. Got the MX4000 128MB dual head graphics card, Sound Blaster live 5.1 surround sound card, and a basic NIC in the back of it, got a momentary switch and soldered me up a mountable on/off switch for the computer, now just gotta clean my room up. I'm using a fanmate on the rear 120mm fan until i an find another rheobus like I have in my antec- i like it.


This thing is getting closer and closer to usability. Not bad for being just a big CAD drawing a few months ago. Not to mention the 3 250mm fans were the biggest expendature, i had everything else but some hardware and the plywood.

I'll add- when i turn it on after a hard shut down (hold switch, pull cord, cut PSU supply), it'll come on without video, run for 30ish seconds, reset itself, then boot with proper video.

stumped = me.

For proper support: what are you running? video card, cpu, m/board, ram, power supply, brand, wattage, any error message?
Will this PSU run my card? If you're having to ask, it probably won't. PCI-E requires 26 amps at 12 volts. That's a 650W PSU. Power Supply Info and Selection
Why is my CPU hot? Info on thermal compounds & application
