I have been trying to put together a PII system for a while now, with much heartache since I couldn't get it to work. So I decided to not have anything touching metal, therefore I took it out of the case. I finally attached everything and booted it up.

lol that's not ghetto at all. Your walls are nicely painted and the flooring looks new. I could show you all some ghetto stuff but it might be a bit too extreme for ATOT forum.

Ihate to have to admit this... but system looked a little like that for about four days. I ordered a new sound card, 2x512mb RAM, and had to change hard drives... it stay like that for the time it took for my parts to arrive. At least my mb was in the case though.

Man, you AT nerds really are hardcore. At least some of my non-techie friends would find it strange, but not you guys.

If you don't turn your computer on by shorting the power button pins with a screwdriver and if no duct tape is used, it's not ghetto enough.

i've done that in my main rig for a long time now... but i put it in a case about two weeks ago. i didn't even use a screwdriver though, i licked my fingers and touched the solderpads for the power switches (dfi nf2 infinity)

Oh man. I think the power button pins are my problem. I have to put them in and take them out immediately for the computer to stay on. Something's fux0red with the power button on the case.

BTW, speaking of ghetto....is there a ghetto way to short the jumper pins on my CD-ROM? I lost my jumper clip. :(

Wasn't there a pic floating around of someone who mounted their motherboard etc to a wall, way more ghetto than you. :)

Paper clip. Just make sure you hit the right pins. *

If you really want ghetto, how about removing the power button, LEDs, and other stuff attached to the front of the case. Therefore, there would be no case at all, which makes it MORE GHETTO.

Where can I buy a power button? I don't know how to remove that stuff.
