Looks like a very nice rig! I must ask, are you involved in any distributed computing projects to take advantage of those dual processors? Check out the distributed computing forum if you arent!

[PhoenixOfWater]

I'm trying to find Anandtech user with case mods and get a big list going

[CraigRT]

the inside of mine looks like that
red rounded IDE's, antec LED fans, loomed power cables, except i don't have my SX1040 anymore
I regular at LANs so much that i opted for a Nikao Zeus case. (sx was too big)
I like it.

Nice work there. Perhaps someday my case modding will be done. Working outside in freezing temps just never seems too appealing.

Oh, did you try saving the pics as JPG files instead of GIF? I've usually wound up with smaller files when I make true-color JPG's than I do with 256-color GIF's. GIF's seem best suited for small icons, or simple pictures.

yay go duallies i need to do something with my window like that looks pimp

 

[MrThompson]

Sweet dually goodness!

 

[amdskip]

Very nice! How'd you mount the cold cathod in there?

Sorry for no reply, I was out of town for christmas stuff.. Thanks for all the nice comments, I have put a lot of work into it..

As for rounding the cables, I but a bunch of it (and sold the rest in FS/FT)

As for Distributed Computing, I do use UD (my mother died of cancer) however they do not have a MP compatible client.. (arrgh!)

As for pics, I just do save for web in photoshop, I figured it would do the best!

Thanks for the link but which one did you use? Merry Christmas to you too.

Any tips/tricks to remove the floppy and P4 4-pin molex (square one)?

This looks incredibly difficult and time consuming but definitely looks cool!

 

[hevnsnt]

sure, get a jewelers screw driver and look close.. All you have to do is press the two pins in and pull..

 

[JuicyFruit]

I tried that last night, before reading your post. Man, does it take time! I don't even have my new powersupply yet but I was practicing on one of those Y adapters and it took me around 10 minutes!

 

[NapalmKing]

Very cool.
