been doing it about 5 years, first with the blowhole (invented by [H]) www.hardocp.com and mainly air ducts in my case with an ungodly amount of fans and cardboard ducts to my cpu. p133 @ 150, the CLASSIC GODLIKE celeron 300a @ 504 you get the idea now it's become so mainstream :( oh well |

I've just finished building a custom, 2.4ghz P4 overclocked to 2.8ghz 512mb pc3200 ddr ram, 90gigs 7200RPM maxtor, GIANT black case with castor wheels, a custom plexiglass side that my friend and I built, 10 fans total, rheobus controller w/ blue LEDs for 4 of the fans, a cold cathode blue neon light, 3 blue led fans on the plexiglass side, zip drive, front usb, 52x24x52 cdrw, 2 front mounted pcmcia slots (which I currently dont use) and 2 400watt powersupplies running it all. I tend to nickname this beast R2D2 because its got blue lights and rolls :) Oh yeah and its loud as FUCK. >;) |

|
|
hehe cool, i think ill give it a shot since after trying deviant art last night I couldnt even submit art (it said the page couldnt be found). Of course, my computer probably wouldnt be appropriate for that site anway, so yeah ill check that out. |
||||||||
|
|

Hey that's pretty fucking cool looking! nice! :D |

|
|
EWWWWWW please clean your wires you shouldn't be able to see hardly ne wires in ther e:p |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i know i havent gotten around to that shit yet, but ill eventually be replacing all the ide's with braided glowing neon ones (have 1 as of now) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for some reason when im clicking the photos in the hyperlink that virginpusher posted, i cant get bigger photos to appear, but it works fine for me when im logged in.. is this how photovillage works? only owners can see their photos larger? or is it just glitching...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I had to wait a few seconds before the picture loaded. Nice looking, but the neon would give me a headache. My big as computer is loud enough with 4 fans, I don't want to imagine 10. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i got a few neons, black lights a ll my ide cables glow black light all my fans are clear (and are all uv sensitive) same with my heatsnk fan heh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that sounds sweet elusive... duble0syx: yeah its pretty loud but actually im so used to it now i dont notice it.. but i love the blue lighting ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o heh i didnt even describe my case (im still to lazy to take a pic of it) its a beige (eew, i know) mid tower with 2 rear exhaust, 1 front intake fans, side panel plexiglass window with a red cold cathode light and a really fuckin clean wiring job done by yours truly. my spec are: athlon xp 1700+, 256 mb ddr-ram, geforce 2 64mb, creative audigy platinum eX, toshiba cd-rw/dvd-rom combo drive (32x32x56/16x i think) and a generic 56x cd-rom, 40 gb maxtor hdd |

nice.. you need to give that beast a custom splatter paint job or somethin :) |

I don't mod cases, I would like to learn that as well as OC and building. I plan on getting a Water Cooled case for my new PC that I'm going to put together. Though, it's going to run me over $500 :[ *sigh* at least it'll be quiet and I can have someone OC it like a bish. |

Nowadays, with the right motherboard, processory, and cooling solution, there isn't much to overclocking.. I have an MSI Corecell motherboard, which comes with the corecell software which overclocks the processor at the touch of some buttons, and gives you a readout of all the temperatures in your computer. Very handy to have. |

hahah, processory.... processor!******** |

Nice lookin system gak, glad mine gave you that creative inspiration! :) Hed: ehh, this thread isn't that old. ;) |

Case modding is fine, but I have a full tower case which fits perfectly between my desk and bookcase/unit in my room, so modding the case would be pointless, as the side panels are not visible |

i'm about to mod my shuttle a bit. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
do you have any pictures of what it looks like at the moment |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i haven't got it yet... i'm still in the middle of switching computers and it's all a mess cos my disk crasched too... anyway, this is what it look like in original: |

those things look so badass on their own, even without modding! it's like a PC that is the same size and shape of a gamecube.. choice! Unfortunately, you can't fit "double wide" graphics cards in them and having only 1 agp and 1 pci slot means I'd probably never end up getting one.. still, i like the idea. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
would be killer for an on-the-go music set up... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sure, space is limited, but that doesn't stop me from using a Hercules 3D Prophet 9800XT 256MB gfx card. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nice! I heard that those were doublewide as well, like the new nvidia cards.. are they, or was my source just full of shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, they are not doublewide. however you can't use 3rd-party cooling solutions like the zalman zm-80 without having to mod the box (cutting out a small window for the heatsink). gone are the days when shuttle were small beige boxes with poor performance. shuttle of today are at least as fast as any modern system - damn, it's just smaller. i can't see why anyone would like to have their large tower chassis any longer. ok, there are exceptions. if you're using a 4-disk raid system or similiar. for example, my system (sb75g2) will have all of the following stuff: p4 3.0 ghz, 1024 mb, 74 gb raptor sata, radeon 9800xt, integrated gigabit ethernet and wlan (wireless), integrated usb 2.0 6-in-1 card reader.... as you can see it's standard parts and, for now, high end products. we're no longer limited to poor performance. more info: there's a shuttle for everyone... :) |

i've seen that before it looks better when it's not forced into the 60x80 |

here's a pretty extensive review of the sb75g2 - check out page 2 for more pics. |

I wasn't knocking any of the other specs of those systems, I know what they are capable of :) Reading reviews for a recent one by Voodoo, one of Shuttle's competitors, said that they only have 1 agp and 1 pci slot and that therefore doublewide's couldnt be used... The specs on yours are actually better than mine except for harddrive space, but I use all but 1 of my 5 pci slots, so a shuttle wouldnt really suit me too well at this point in time. ;) |

I have a shuttle- Alienware Media Center Edition- Built in tv tuner and Tivo-remote control too! 2.4gP4/512ddr/120hd/128mbgeforce and only one fan thank god! Whisper quiet. Motors should never be placed on an audio circuit. Also a 256 grafix card is a waste of money- not an app in existence that will use it. Good call on the shuttle case tho- they're cute- gonna have mine chromed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Doom 3 will use the 256! :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true? if so reason enough. Half Life 2 I suppose as well? I will rip my grafix card out like a rotten tooth if its true! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i actually think the wires everywhere look is pretty sweet. especially when they are all over the floor between a wall and a desk with some kitty cat chew marks on em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trust me, it will be utilized much quicker than you think: as has been said already doom 3 and halflife 2 will easily make use of extra video memory. You have to see that doubling the available memory is a good thing. |
