The ghetto file/quake II server *PICS*

pic

pic

sorry for the pic quality...camera phones arent all that great...but its very 56K friendly

yes, that is a kicker 12" sub box

and the power switch is a cdrom audio cable connected to the pins on the mobo...i turn it on with a staple that is convienently stuck in the top of the cardboard

cost breakdown:
cardboard box $0
cd-rom audio cable 0$
staple .03 cents

total build cost: 3 cents...can't beat that and the 2 80mm case fans keep it nice and cool...not that it gets really hot anyway, but it can't hurt, right?

the hardware is a 60gig hdd, a 30 gig hdd, a celery 533, and 512mb pc133...it does the trick...its also my quake II server

I would be worried about the box catching on fire! :shocked:

 

[krevo]

Not the prettiest thing I've ever seen, but nice nonetheless. Celeron, tho...*shudder*

 

[Dough1397]

no the total cost is 0.03 cents... !!! check your math

 

[hclpfan]

hah, nice work. a case for $0.0003 ain't to shabby

 

[imported_Kensai]

That's a hardcore computer.

 

[S Random]

its pretty cool and all that you made it, alot of people i know after building a PC run it out of an old pizza box, or something like that for free...

768K up connection...its not bad at all....most people get 60 ping or below if they're somewhat close by...

i've seen a friend of mine in the same town get 25ms

of course i get 9-11ms since i'm 3 feet away from it

even ghettoer when you use a screwdriver to short the pins to start it up.

Well than I guess I'm "ghetto" when I test my new mobos outside the case lol

close...there is a cd-rom audio cable connected to the power pins on the mobo...the other end of that cable is duct taped to the top of the box, the staple that is stuck in the top of the box right next to it is what i use to turn it on
