When I was a regular on this board before overclocked Celerons were hot Stuff! What does everyone have now?


My Main PC

Full Tower with 11 fans and wheels. (This thing can actually roll around).

Gygabyte Motherboard, (I can't remember the model number).

Athlon 650

512MB Ram, (256 of it is PC100 the other 256 is PC133)

Creative GeForce2 MX 32MB

Creative Soundblaster Live

30 gig and 27 Gig hard drives

TDK Velociwriter 8x Burner

A DVD drive that I think is 5X?

Network Everywhere 100MBs Network Card

Avermedia TV 98 Tv Tuner

The Same Viking 56k Hardware modem I have used since I had my 486

I did some custom work on my big case and integrated a network hub, and a USB hub. Giving Me a 5 Port hub in back. Along with a total of 10 USB ports, 8 in back and 2 in front. (The 2 in front are mounted to the spot where the floppy drive would be if there was one).

I do not plan on doing any upgrades in a long time.

LoL, the Powdersource is actually a POWERsource.

I've also mounted two extra fans in my box for extra cooling.

I am actually running out of hard drive space again. I have 8 gigs open on C and only 2 gigs open on D. But I can't add any more drives without an extra IDE controller.
I do have an open slot. But I wonder if my power supply could handle any more stuff. (300 Watt).

That is cool looking.
I stopped overclocking a while back. I just cannot tell the difference between anything 500MHZ and up. (Except in Photoshop).
I still carry my magic Pentium 233MMX in my pocket though. (That proc was accidently run with no fan or heatsink for a few months, it actually lived and now it will take just about anything.) I have had it post at speeds over 600. But I have never actually had windows run on it at anything over 350MHZ.
I no longer have anything to put the Magic Pentium in so it just sits in my jacket pocket.

Just saw the pic request. I can post some pics on late sunday night. I am at work now and did not bring my camera with me. SO I will take some pics this weekend and post em when I get to work on sunday night. (My dialup connection at home bites so bad I rarely use it). I did count the processor and power supply fan in that 11 though. Here are the fans.


1 Processor Fan

1 Power Supply Fan

3 Small Fans Sucking Air in through a grill in one of the 5 inch drive bays

2 Big Ones blowing air out the back

1 Big one Pulling air in from the bottom front

1 PCI card fan sucking air off the video card and shooting it out of the case.

1 Big fan blowing over the PCI cards.

1 486 heatsink and fan on the core logic chip on the motherboard.

This PC is pretty loud to say the least.

hey grumpy. I just bought the case at ascotcomputers.com but not online, they are here in town. It didn't have the glass in it when I bought it but it had a nice pattern already pressed in the side that was easy to follow with a Dremel.
