Modding A Lego case

Looks like the MSI 8400GS

- subbed.

 

I finally ordered a PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339001

$24 with free shipping, I think that's a pretty good deal considering the 4 star rating.

Now to wait...

 

PSU arrived a day early! I hooked everything up, powered it on, and got a blank screen. The screen doesn't show "no signal found", it's just blank, and the monitor light is orange, like it is in sleep mode or something. I tried both monitor outputs on the graphics card, but nothing works.

What could the problem be? I hope it's not the PSU, all the fans are running and the hard drive is running fine. I just can't see anything.

 

I would double check that psu mate, I wouldnt allow that psu anywhere near any of my rigs.

 

How would I go around double checking it?

 

What i meant was try another psu (one that you know works) on the system. Cheap psu's are very unreliable.

 

Well, as I said before, all the fans are working and the little power light is on.

Maybe this weekend I will test my main comp psu on it and see if the results are any different.

 

Double check everything is plugged into where it should be.

Does a graphics card output work?

 

I got it to work, all I had to do is put the RAM stick in the 3rd slot.

I'll probably continue to build this weekend.

 

Gratz Looking forward to an update.

 

Got all the hard drive today, I hooked everything up!



Installed Windows XP. Luckily, the hard drive works, and checks out at ~98% health in Speedfan.



Started construction on the hard drive holder.

 

I finished the hard drive holder, although the power supply holder will be a challenge...

 

Read this, its instructive http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=173600&page=5

The good point is they're PSU manifacturer, I Herd they made PSU for Antec in the past.

 

FINISHED BOO YEAH now I can finally clean all those unused legos off my floor!

 

Jest chyba nietrwały.

 

"Is probably unstable"?

Of course it is not as structurally sound as some metal cases, for example dropping it would be a bad idea. But it is not going to just fall apart, if that is what you are saying.

hmmm......lets see....polish translation:

Oczywiście to nie jest tak nośne, w niektórych przypadkach metalu, na przykład upuszczenie byłoby złym pomysłem. Ale to nie będzie po prostu rozpadnie się, jeśli to, co mówisz.

 

woud i be alowd to copy the idea of a lego case for a custom workstation im thinking about?

thank god for google translate (unless that wassent)
