Check out my riced case!

[WarmAndSCSI]

I posted previously about my case but never posted any pics I have pics now, but they aren't that great because I used my webcam instead of my digital camera since I'd wake my parents up at this time of night by digging it out of my dad's office. Anyways, this is my server with a nicely modded case:

IONWD2
Custom Server

LG Electronics GCE-8520B 52x/24x/52x ATAPI CD-RW
Seagate TapeStor Travan 20 GB ATAPI (IDE)
Intel PRO/100 S Server Adapter PCI (LAN)
U.S. Robotics 10/100 PCI (StarBand)
APC Back-UPS CS 500 VA (300 W)

Cooling

3 80mm intake fans (one blue LED fan)
2 80mm rear fans
1 92mm PSU fan
1 80mm PSU fan
1 92mm upper-rear fan
stock AMD cooler (60mm)
stock chipset cooler (40mm)
CrystalOrb on GeForce2

Modz

1 80mm blue LED fan in lowest fan bracket (intake)
1 12" blue cold cathode tube below PSU
Scorpio Blue Translucent rounded cables for all IDE and floppy devices
Custom acryllic side (done by myself) with 7 "port-holes" in a pattern (I think it makes the case look unique)
Custom etching of an ion/atom on one of the port-holes (done with a Dremel tool )

Pics (very poor quality) at: http://www1.ionwd.com:8080/pics (will be very slow since I don't get the 150 kbps uploads promised by StarBand)

I'll have better pics up soon but I think you can get an idea of what my case looks like from these crappy ones. Please post feedback/comments.

Yes, about 20 KBps, BUT I only get 30 Kbps uploads

Actually, 150k should be about 18.7k/sec.. but after you take into account TCP/IP overhead, it will be about 17k/sec. 128k is 15k/sec after overhead.

Can't see it.. it's SLOW. But judging by the post I'm just wondering.. does that thing show up on radar when turned on and running? Why did you do that to your system?

Pics took too long to load, so I didn't see em.

Get a real webhost.

Do what? I think it looks pretty damn cool... At least I didn't BUY any of my mods ('cept for cables and cathode tube - as if I could replicate factory-made rounded cables and make my own tube )

Yeah, it's not my fault my ISP limits uploads to NOTHING. I USED to be a real webhost before I switched to StarBand - over 5,000 users; I even designed and programmed my own site management system for users from scratch.. I didn't have enough money to pay for a business line any more, so I went residential.

11 fans! jebus! why!?! i've got a 2000+ and i'm running the exhaust from the PS, an antec smart fan, a quiet low rpm 70mm on the heat sink and some tiny little thing on my OEM GF256. noise = 0

Well I'm sure it's not this loud when you throw the switch!

I bet it's louder.

That thing sucks. It's like you took a pile of fans, attacked it with a power drill, and shined a blue light on it.
