Well it looked good, and I thought it was cool, until...


I scrolled down and saw a mac below it

Why the HELL do you have a Apple???
We used them for a year for some 3d programs, and they just crash, and crash, and freeze, and crash. God do they suck.

Well my experiences were that every one me, and every other classmate touched in Digital Media Studies classes, and CAD classes, were that they would freeze if you saved a large file, or tried to open one. I heard how they were good for graphic intense things like this, but I dont know, seems like my current computer can easily outmatch it.

They were G5's, thats about all I know about them.


The PC looks cool though, and awesome case. I'm too much of a tightwad to buy a fancy case although i wish i could.

Your wiring job sucks Korndog.



It should look like that.

Check out mah blingin PSU bitches. Real chrome fo real!

Also the nice blue Zalman NB heatsink on there. It's cool to the touch even during gaming. Stock idle it was too hot to touch.

Athlon XP 3200+ Barton core 512k L2 cache Running @ 2GHz

Chaintech Summit 7NJL6 mobo (NF2 ultra 400+ chipset)

1gig of Kingston and Ultra brand ram @ 200mhz

WD 250GB HD w/16meg cache (Holy shit it's quick)

Used to have: [img width=800 height=600]http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c255/SpecialKB16/Misc/Busted.jpg[/img]

Asus 6800XT unlocked and recognized as a 6800GT Stock clock
128mb ram 256Bit mem bus
AGP8x


Was going to put that on there but.....

Revision B cards switched the direction of the power cord from horizontals to vertical.

Current card: GF2 32meg ram
AGP4X


The lighting in the case is a single UV led bar. It's very subdued and extremely pleasant to look at.


Forgot to put up my 17" monitor.
