To Window or not to window, That is the question

[Sotacs]

Do you have a case worth bragging about?
Does it have a window?
How about a custom paint job?
I'm curious to hear about it.

Nope never. I'm a boring person.

Although, I can think of one or two designs I'd be interested in.

So what design would you be interested in?

Gonna try and sell me something?

Since I have a very unhealthy obcession for the Dune series, I think a Sandworm coming out of the sand would look neat on a window. Maybe with a redish brown tint...

No, most of you all are just geeks. I've graduated to GEEK.

My case looks pretty tidy inside (see here) and the whole case is transparent*.











*viewer must have the ability to see in the cosmic-ray band of the electromagnetic spectrum

No, I have the best case.

It needs no window.

Mine looks just like that. But a lot lazier.

i just want a side panel with a fan near the CPU HSF so i can cool the cpu better. other than that, i keep my computer to my left. there's no point in a window for me. plus, i like to keep it on the ground. it feels to cluttered and close if it's next to me.

Why 2 SCSI cards?

More aggregate bandwidth for those occasions when I want to use one drive while the other is hammering away at something (daily antivirus scan, for one example). Yeah, so I'm picky...

Actually the photos are outdated... the A7N8X Deluxe &amp; AthlonXP got replaced with a K8V Deluxe and A64, and it's currently got just one SCSI card and the faster of the two drives. But I plan to reconsolidate once I've got an nF3 250Gb board. More-recent photo

Oh 32bit PCI? ew.

On 32bit PCI? ew.

If I could afford a single Opteron, 1-2GB of R-ECC DDR400, a Tyan Thunder K8W and a decent EPS power supply, AND a new case that it would actually fit into, AND a PCI-X or 64-bit PCI SCSI controller, then I would certainly consider it. :heart: Working 80% of full time at a non-profit agency pretty much eliminates the chances of that happening.

I ended up getting 1 64bit SCSI card for free from a friend (along with a disk), 1 off of the FS/FT forum, and I think a refurb from Dell or newegg or something. Of course, the only one I'm using is on an old TigerMP waiting to be upgraded...
