Well it is yet again time for a new little case to be built. This will be the only case I build for myself this year so I guess I might put some extra affort in it. So to start nice and slowly you can try and guess what it will be, here is a hint:
Oh come on, please tell, go on go on go on. If your previous efforts are anything to go by, then I cant wait to see this project.
Umm... IMDB gave me : Charlie Had One But He Didn't Like It, So He Gave It to Us Considered to have the longest title in Canadian TV history, this show's title was originally even longer, with the addition of the subtitle, "...And We Didn't Like it Either So We're Giving It Back to Charlie". Has that got anything to do with it at all????
And we have a winner, the name is the Y2k-bug (millenium bug) I found an image online that inspired me this time:
-> wow, can't wait to see how this case looks, it being inspired by that bug. -> how about a little more details, mashie?
Well, the hardware will be a P4 3.06/533, ATI 9800 PRO, half a gig of DDR333, motherbaord from a soltek Qbic case, two WD400JB drives. As for the case itself I plan to mix some of the techniques used in Oenone and 3 plus the cooling approach from Syrinix. My aim is to have the bug max 500mm long. Currently I'm in the part sourcing stage.
-> sounds like it's going to have a fiberglass skeleton and anodized aluminum skin/exoskeleton (whatever)
<screams with girlish excitement> I can't wait to see where your going to go with this, all your other work has been amazing, you have quite a reputation to live up to.
Good luck mashie this will be a project log , that I will just have to visit 3 times a day , to be sure I don't miss an update or else i'll have a hard time sleeping I remember on your previous case's , I couldnt sleep , and woke up , just to check for update's Good luck on it !!! Gotta love Mashie and his case's
. . . as long as you don't let it bite . . . Just kidding, but I had an image of your case clumsily walking around .
It might have some parts moving if I can fit it inside, but the risk of it chasing you is nonexisting
would be funny tho someone breaks in to nick oen of your pcs but gets chased off by another evil lookign bug
Alright lets get some pictures posted then since I know you "feel the need". I have done some shopping and this is what I got so far: A Soltek SL-B8A-F motherboard that unfortunately only can be found in Soltek Qbic barebones. The mem is a stick of 512MB Kingmax PC2700 and the CPU is a P4 3.06/533. First time I actually try to match the colours of all PCBs in a case. If any of you happens to know where I can get a red gigabit ethernet NIC please tell me. "One fan to rule them all, one fan to cool them all..." This 120mm Vantec Stealth will be the only fan for cooling, hopefully it is powerful enough. To distribute the cooling provided by the Vantec a ThermoChill 120.1 will be used to cool some water. I like it when radiators can be bought without any fittings attached. Two 8mm push-in fittings from RS are waiting for action. Some action and 2 minutes later they have been installed
