Blue is so cool.
I'm waiting for someone to come out with a shiny silver colored motherboard -just think how well that would reflect and distribute the light inside the case. It would be very cool.

What's up with your cathodes? Is that watery effect really there or is it just the way it photographed? Or are those the neons that move to music?

Hey Trev, your machine seems to be exhibiting some sort of "Blue Push" I'd look into that immediately

Seriously...nice machine :T

pacman (oops I mean Doom) should play great!

Only thing left to do is RAID those drives for an uber Performance Demon...Go for it! It's about all you have left to do right now...maybe get an ATI 9800 Pro then you're cooking with gas :hb

Eduardo,
.56 is pretty good , however bing is going to whip my behind once he gets his 2800+ Barton installed.

Siligoose,,
The Cathodes have bubbles in the plastic casing giving it that water effect. I thought it would add a cool effect to the computer and it did!:T
I ordered them from BigFoot Computers Online.

Gordan,,The ATI would be nice. Maybe something even better will be out within the next 6 months..Maybe something with 256 Megs of memory..:E

Thanks for the comments guys!!
This new box was inspired and pretty much assembled by Bing!

Sweet look ya got going there Trev!

Sorry I haven't been around, I was lost in the woods stuck in a cardboard box... Actually Lex and Trev :smackbutt: came and found me :wedgie:

Trev, the 256mb Radeon 9800 will be out soon, however I would wait until fall for the chip code named R400 ( Radeon 9900?) 256 MB version. That's the one to get or see if Nvidia comes back with some hot silicon in the NV40.

Bing,

I thought the next ATI part was called "M9". Maybe that's just the name of part of it? Have you heard of that?




-Sili

[Bing Fung]

Sili, can't say I'm familier with the M9 moniker, for I was never really an ATI fan.

As far as I know this is how ATI has coded their chips

8500 Radeon was called a R250

9700/9500 Is called a R300

9800 is called a R350

9900 (?) The next one is known as R400




Bing

[SiliGoose]

OK...my info was wrong. I did some research (fancy way of saying a Google search) and it appears the M9 in their next gen mobile graphic chip.
