This is my first mod that I have done, the system isnt anything really, just wanted to look at something other then a biege case every day, so this is what I did.
this isn't new new new by any means, its just the pic I took for the "rate my cables" thread, heh
my old 9800 is still there, and my 250gb hd has yet to be installed in it.
This time a small form factor 1TB server named Udat.
Materials used:
Epia M-10000 mobo/cpu.
Raidcore BC4852, 8-port SATA RAID controller.
Morex Venus CP699 case.
3 x 5.25" bays into 5 x 3.5" S-ATA drive mobile rack.
256MB RAM
5 x Western Digital Caviar SE 200GB drives.
And this is how that mix of hardware ended up looking like:
A bit of a old picture, the cpu heatsink is free of dust at the moment, except the wires still stay a mess
Not sure how I am going to fix the wire mess.
well that's all the work I've done so far. not bad considering what it used to look like (swing by the thermaltake website here to see what it used to be)

My Sister's Rig (built by me):
Well my sister's old computer which was my 2nd computer that I've owned of all time (the P2 300mhz computer died about 2 months ago). Well I just didn't want to reinstall windows 2k on it, which I couldn't get anyupdates for or do anything with it cause it's slow and it's plain out garbage, I rather work with something that will last.
Thus the forcing of my mother to pay for my sister's new computer since my sister and my mom are close, you know the mother/daughter relationship. Anyways since I work for a computer store, I get a discount here's what's in the rig:
CPU: AMD 64 3000+ (754) CPU HSF: Zalman CNPS7000B-CU Motherboard: ASUS K8N-E Deluxe Memory: 2x 512MB SAMSUNG CAS2.5 memory Graphics Card: Hercules GeForce 3 Ti500 (one of my old video cards) Hard Drive: 120GB Western Digital SATA (I swapped out my old 120GB for the New 250GB WD SATA drive that you'll see in the pic. below) DVD-ROM: LiteOn 16X DVD-ROM (Black) CD-RW: LG 52x24x52x CDRW (Black) one of my older drives that I have laying around Floppy Drive: Mitsumi FDD (Black) well you can't really say no for $7 Case: Antec Sonata (modified with sleeving everywhere, and thumbscrews) Monitor: Viewsonic G71f+b 17" CRT Monitor Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech Keyboard/Optical Mouse Combo (Black) Mods:
- Sleeving to the Powersupply
- Sleeving to the Case wires
- Sleeving to the Case Fans
- Thumbscrews where the PCI Slots are
- 1 Purple Cold Cathode to make the ANTEC LOGO glow Purple on the sides
I've basically modded this thing to be a slient and tricked out rig with the sleeving of everything, and small stuff such as thumbscrews replacing the PCI slot screws; and a purple cold cathode for the glowing of the ANTEC LOGO on the sides of the Sonata.
