I took these witht he flash on so you cannot see my cathods well, but the whole inside of my box glows, they throw a lot of light. But if I would have taken the pics with the flash off you would not see the case at all. Anyways here is my comp.

*that rist watch looken moniter on the front is showing my proc temp.
----------------------------------------
stats~
processor: 2.6 ghz p4 w/ ht, 800mhz fsb, 512k l2 cache, northwood. Running at 2.9ghz

ram: 512 stick of gold dragon pc 3200 2.5 cas. Have a 256 kingston hyberx but it has a cas of2 which causes an incompadability. Its for sale if anyone wants it!

Hd; 80gig wd (in the case), 7200rpm 8mb buffer,
40 gig (not in case when pic taken) samsung, 40gb, 2mb buffer, also 7200

video: gainward nvidea geforce4 ti4200, 128mb

Motherboard: MSI neo-l. SiS 648FX chipset.

Thats about it, I can't oc much higher then 9.8 before the stop errors kick in. Something is giving out besides my proc, I think my northbridge does not like the highertemps, I might stick a cooler on to see what it does. Could also be the motherboard its self. The ram and hard drives are fine. But anyways that is my box, what do yah think?

You needed a site to convert? Double and add 30 to get a close approximation. *1.8 + 32 for closer.

I do that in my mind but when I was posting I wanted an eexact number. I did not feel like whipen out the windows calculator or my ti.

Hmm, so double, then take off one tenth and add 32?

What's the easy path to the other side?

Subtract 32, half, add one ninth.

One ninth isn't easy though... Doubling, division by 10 and addition are easy.

One ninth of whole two- or three-digit numbers is pretty easy.

25 * (1/9) = 2.5+.25+.025+.0025 .... or 2.7777777...

(when you remember 1/9 as 0.1111111....

I like conversation, but if you want to talk about "my box", ok.. It's not that interesting, it's white. The plastic tab for the reset button is broken, but I fixed it with tape.

Hot glue, that's a good idea. If the tape falls off again, I'll try that. I've only retaped it once in 7-8 years though, so it doesn't break that often.

What I like to see in a good box is that it's silent, easy to work in and overall well designed. By well designed, I mean that the buttons and connectors are easily accessible on the front, not that it has a big "hole" in the side so you can look inside....

I broke a drive cover yesterday. I was mad at my crappy cdrw so I punched it... and broke the drive cover. I am an idiot. Now I have to order a new one. It is a damned pain to oder 1 drive cover. You cant buy it online, you have to write a letter and enclose 5 bucks for the cover and postage. This might take 3 years with our slow as postal system.

Just can't let go of the tower huh? Sentimental value?

I just got a server with a dual 200MHz processor, and, well the dual processor is about the only nice thing about it right now. I want to upgrade the memory, processor speed, etc... It has removable hard drives, but it currently only has a 4GB one, so I want to upgrade that. I installed Win2K Server on it, and am working on getting it up and running. I mainly want to use it for development, but some day I might be able to host my own public server. Should be a good learning experience.

You can also use it to test multithreaded programs and find problems that only surface on real dual-cpu machines. Then it's probably better to have a slow machine so the cpu's will be in use a larger percentage of the time.

Ooooh, I'm so excited! I get sick of using free (can't afford to pay) web hosts.

So much stuff I want to learn. I want to learn how to run my own HTTP/FTP/DNS/Etc... Plus this gives me time to spend with my dad. He is helping me get an A+ Certification, and teaching me what he knows about networking.

Yeah, I got all my stuff at newegg.com or zipzoomfly.com. Between the two of them they had the best price for everything. I got my monitor (Dell 2001FP(20" LCD, 16ms, 1600x1280)) at Dell though.
