I did clean up the cables before any one asks to help air flow and cooling.

Dacads · 08-23-2009, 11:17 AM

nice case, lights and tidy desk, I like the jelly bean sticker

You not getting neck strain from those high monitors?

Jelly Bean · 08-23-2009, 01:34 PM

Thankyou Dacads.

Actualy the monitors are eye level.

The picture is missleading.

Most women do keep there desks clean.:)

ebackhus · 08-25-2009, 04:06 PM

I have a case like that. I think it's the old brother version of yours. Good space but lousy power supplies.

Dacads · 08-26-2009, 11:23 AM

Thanks

**Done_Fishin** · 08-26-2009, 01:27 PM

Not much to look at .. it's been this way since March this year ..

it's an Asus P5QL-E Motherboard, E8400 & 4 GB's DDR2.

I put whatever HDD I feel like, whenever I feel like it and Boot into Win7, Ubuntu, XP SP3 and anything else I feel like .. ideal for testing and trying to recover data or HDD's ..

Of course I do have a few others .. but that would take up a lot of space

**WereBo** · 08-26-2009, 03:34 PM

Then again, the dust-bunnies don't even get a look-in at claiming squatters-rights.....

Phædrus2401 · 08-26-2009, 03:53 PM

And of course dust bunnies breed like rabbits.

intelfan · 08-28-2009, 09:51 PM

I got this case for $10 used and it's big with 7 fans.

**Done_Fishin** · 08-29-2009, 01:19 AM

I'd say you got a bargain ..

Jelly Bean · 08-29-2009, 03:17 AM

My Apivia case did not come with a PSU installed I bought OCZ psu.

That case had to be rewired and I advise no one to buy it.What rubbish I bought.

Looking into building a quad core now and pass my dual core onto my 7 yearold child.

Nics job Dacads.

Done_fishing?

:)

**Done_Fishin** · 08-29-2009, 04:30 AM

My case came with a 400Watt supply, it gave something like 12Amps on the 12Volt supply ... so it was promptly removed and replaced. I just haven't gotten around to putting all thge bits together yet .. it's far more convenient like this. I was thinking of getting a large block of wood and screwing it all down on it then mounting it on the wall

Jelly Bean · 08-29-2009, 05:56 AM

Done_Fishing now your just laughing at us.

Although I would say many others have used diffrent items to build a computer into.

**Done_Fishin** · 08-29-2009, 07:16 AM

Not at all!!

I am quite serious .. I work with my PC's all the time .. swapping drives, data recovery, trying different OS's etc .. what better way to have the PC "ready" ?? I'm a technician and whilst a good looking case with lamps and flashing lights etc, works for most people, including me, I also look for the convenience of access. I may well get around to doing this but building a perspex cover over it as a wind tunnel to ensure cooling .. filtering the air through pipes and an extractor to keep things cool & quiet!

ebackhus · 09-01-2009, 10:52 PM

I've seen a few of those wall-mounted PCs. Totally weird but at the same time awesome.

I'd post pictures from my rebuild but my digital camera has vanished.

Dacads · 09-03-2009, 10:15 AM

shame about the vanishing camera ebackhus

My next possible move will be a new HDD and case. Temps are better then I was expecting but I don't like the look of this old and heavy case

I've only got a 80GB HDD at the moment, I would buy another 80 but it's not worth it when you can get a 500GB WD for around £36($60).

**Done_Fishin** · 09-03-2009, 11:26 AM

I'm gonna wait some time before going for another large drive .. Since I see so many new WD's & Seagates' Drives with problems only a few months after purchase and within 6 months of manufacture .. I am very wary about getting anything except if its to be used for backup purposes. I have several 160GB's & 200GB's whilst only 1 500GB WD .. bought before I noticed the trend towards failure.

ebackhus · 09-04-2009, 02:54 PM

Never once had a WD die prematurely on me. Seagate I avoid like the plague, same for Maxtor.

------------edit-----------

We bought a new digital camera so I can get photos of the new setup!
