You might want to put up a warning for those of us still stuck on a 56k modem 🙁

Other than that, you have a nice squad. Should produce a nice amount of blocks.

Crack on! 😀
 
Hey Jarhead! Is that an Antec SX1030 case on your T-bird? How's that work out for you 'cause I'm looking to stick my main rig in one of those. Also the LCD and FL Inverter on the mobile 533 look like they're out of an old Toshiba laptop to me. 🙂 Are they?

Nice pictures, makes me want to break out my digital camera and snap some pics of my rigs as well. 🙂


 
Note the Original BX6 R1.0 with the Quick Grip in the AT form
factor full tower. Reason for Quick Grip??? MS-6905 Dual with
a Socket 370 Celery 366, 1/4" copper heat spreader, and a Aavid
dual fan Slot one heatsink (yeah, that is a AT full tower case
with the ATX motherboard...)

That is one of my 15 Active Matrix TFT LCDs that have come from
e*ay. Don't remember what laptop/notebook a Sharp LQ12S41 comes
from. Still haven't o/c'd the i810 boards with the 533's yet,
been too busy reading the forums here, and thrashing on Dnet.

Oh, yes that is a Antec SX1030 with it's standard P/S, decking
out the T-bird. I got tired of my AMAX AT full tower that I
got in 1992 with my 486DX33. Pretty nice case, and with the
two additional cooling fans, standard, you can't shake a
stick at it.

Russ, you ain't seen nothing...check out one of my systems at:

You wouldn't believe what I go through, and you should see my bench!!!
(I'm a product development engineer....)

Hey Russ, do you have six Celerons, heatsinks, 32Mb sticks, and
ATX P/S that you'd give me a good rate on in the name of RC5?
These bare boards are starting to get depressing...at night I
count all the blocks I am missing in my dreams!

Oh, and note the DX2/66 and the rest of the retired fleet, I'm
not so addicted that I have them running RC5 also....







 
Cool Pics! I need to put up pics of my mess here, gotta luv a geeks area covered with hardware. hehehehehe 😀

Does you wife btch at all? I just tell mine to stay out of the basement. LOL
 
Well, I had the kitchen table *fully* occupied for the past year,
to the depth of about a foot.

Guess what one of her Christmas presents was? I've taken residence
in a cleared out little corner in one of the upstairs rooms where
the rest of my hardware is that doesn't fit in the garage.

Hey ladies, if you want some room in your house, marry a SOFTWARE
Engineer.

My wife is very understanding, especially when I slap some hardware
together and head out into the wilderness. A GPS, LCD, motherboard,
and we can just head out, which ever way. You run into all sorts
of interesting things, miles and miles from civilization. Sometimes
it is even romantic. (always got a spare GPS in the back when I head
out...) I think one of the upper managers is worse than my wife,
he is a software guy, and software guys need nothing more than a computer.

Maybe in my next life, I'll be a software guy, all they ever have to do
is fiddle with a few lines of code and type a few characters...
 
The QuickGrip is holding the Slot 1 heatsink onto
the PPGA Socket 370 chip, since there are no places
to grab that are compatible between it and the Sloket.

Software guys working hard?!? I think I've heard it
all now! Com'on I know 90% of your time is spent
playing around with code.

Oh, and that QuickGrip setup has been working fine
for over a year now, and coupled with the copper
heat spreader, it works better than anything I've
seen. The best part was that it was free!
(must be the Marine in me...they say you can take
the Marine out of the Corps, but you cannot take
the Corps out of the Marine...) Oh, and if you
don't like it, my systems dropped over 23 million
tons of bombs over in Saudi...and mine were on
target, never had a single complaint. We won't
talk about the many wee hours spent over on the
Navy ships scrounging parts so I could repair things...
Those carriers sure kept us busy, they sent literally
tons of avionics over to us that they were having a
hard time repairing.
