IT LIVES!!!!!!! My computer is a MONSTER!!!

[Ulfwald]

Ok, I have now finished what I hope is the last mod to my system.

Specs:
Tyan Tiger 133 Motherboard
Dual 800 EB Processors
1 + gig of Ram
Voodoo 5 5500 Video card
SB Live Platnium sound card
TDK 24 x CD Burner
3com 3c905 tx with WOL NIC
Adeptec 2940 W SCSI card
Maxtor ATA 100 controller card
HDDS:
6 MAXTOR ATA 100 20 GIG hdds
21 Fans
now in an external SCSI case made out of a Gateway 486 tower case
2 Seagate 23 GIG SCSI hdds
2 Seagate 4.2 gig SCSI hdds
6 cooling fans

This gives me a grand total of 174 gigs of hdd space.

I am running W2K Advanced Server on this machine. With the hdds, and all the fans running, it sounds like a frickin jet plane in here.

But hey, now I have enough storage for my 400+ cd collection. When the wife and I got married, we each had over 200 cds each, so now I can rip them and store them. Every thing from classical to opera, to jazz to classic rock, 80s, celtic, etc.

Why did you need six 20GB hard drives? Maxtor sells a 7,200RPM 120GB drive that would work just great for all those CDs.

Still, nice setup. What all do you use it for?

 

[Derango]

he uses 6 because he can

 

[Ulfwald]

I got the 6 because they were on sale at Microcenter a while back. 65.00 a piece, and get the ATA 100 card for free.

Now, with a kid on the way, I can't really afford to go out and buy any more hdds.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

Man, that's a nice computer. What do you use it for? lol.

 

[Amused]

21 fans, plus 6 more? Is that a wind tunnel, or a computer?

 

[bizmark]

had to happen....


pics?



I wanna see how you got 21 fans in there!!! Did you make the case itself out of fans?

 

[XZeroII]

Just got my computer setup with a new case. I have a nice windtunnel too, but not nearly as big as that thing. Mine is alot quieter now, and I think I like that better.

What the heck with 6 hdds & 21 fans?

Am I the only person here that prefer low power Transmeta & Geode CPUs.

What about Disk-on-Chip technology currently at 576 megs per module (I am currently only working with 16, 32 & 128 megs modules & 128-512 megs of ram). Coupe it with Debian & X-windows you would have a great functional web browser/server, image/text editor that consume at 25W with no moving part or fan.

im jealous.

 

[notfred]

I have a tyan tiger 100 board, it's pretty cool except the overclock settings dont work.

Anyway, tyan makes pretty good stuff. I'm running dual 450s, though.

 

[Pr0Hawk]

Damn! did you really need to have all that stuff in it?

 

[SilverThief]

<< Damn! did you really need to have all that stuff in it? >>



Of course he did! Never question a man's need for hardware!

 

[MeanMeosh]

ulfward... you do realize that you have a fast computer doesnt mean that you'll be able to watch more porn simultaneously, right??? that rate is defined by your eyes and brain...

 

[toant103]

check out my system.



I have 1GB of ddr in it. Still have another 1GB spare but i can't install it since my epox only have 2 slots.

 

[gtsukada]

nice rig <cough look at my computer >

 

[CedarTeeth135]

Oh ya. I got 20 g of ram and fifty 120 gig segate drives. so there. Actually, no.

ps. nice system. Any pics.

 

[MrCodeDude]

What kind of case do you have that can fit 21 fans in it?
