Another thing about overclocking is losing that handy warranty.

Considering a processor will generally last 10 years with normal use, I don't see the harm in taking away a year or two from that by overclocking. By the time the CPU goes bad, it'll be time to upgrade it anyway.

/me waits for Cunjo to finish his build, then plans to steal THIS computer, just like the last one. Aaaa haa hahaha haaaaaaa!

That's all good and dandy, Cunjo, but what if it b0rkes before you want it too?

cunjo what kind of video card was your old one, i might want to buy it off ya

an onboard Intel with 10MB of shared video memory. I could cut it off the mainboard for you if you like. :P

nah i just though it might have been something i could have used to get me a bit better performance my mx440 just dosent cut the mustard anymore, though i did manage to get it a little faster with a modest overclock and a fan hotglued in position keeps it cooler than before

I guess the 10 cents modification here and there is better than $40 for something better?

sniff im not gettin a new comp anytime soon :(

mebbe ill get a gig of ram and a 9600pro but ill be stikin to me old amd athlon xp <3

9600... PCI or AGP?

AGP 8x on a biostar M7ncg400 400Mhz Front side bus 768 megs of ram and 80gig+ 60gig IDE hdd ata133 350W PSU AC97 realtek audio and a nvidia Nforce4 chipset

Updates...

First of all, a correction: the case is a Cooler Master CM Stacker T-01... virtually identical to the 810, but not quite the same.

I've finished the internal wiring (mostly - you'll note the unplugged cable because for some absurd reason it broke my soundcard to plug it in... still need to figure that one out)

Added Red UV-reactive sleeving to tidy up some of the bigger bundles of wires.

I have a secondary 12" Red cold cathode light and a 12" UV cold cathode light, which are swappable - neither is in at the moment, but I can place one along the side in the case depending on how much light I want. I might end up adding a metal shield to the side of the case so the secondary cathode doesn't shine out when it's in place vertically.

The Red UV reactive sleeving glows an orange-yellow (rather than red) under UV light, so I'm not too thrilled about that.

I have an EL Wire kit with about 4' of Red EL wire, but I'm not sure where to put it, so I'm leaving it out for now.

I'm considering it finished at this point, though it may still undergo some future tweaking, I'm satisfied with it for now.

Here's the side view of the case:


and here's a picture of the full system setup:

Note the size of the G15 keyboard... with it, I only have room on my desk for the two joysticks, OR the mouse. I have to move the one Joy forward to use my mouse.
Also shown in the above picture: PC, monitor, APC UPS, some of my 7.1 speakers (incl. really big subwoofer). My workspace is decidedly cramped....

OMG!!
Its....Its...


Oh, could you plz post a full pic of that drawing behind the monitor? looks cool

I like the computer setup, very nice.

Not to piss on a parade, though, why does everyone love LEDs so much?

Shiny lights are shiny, that's why.

Because they're diodes, and they emit light... and that's cool.

Also, if you're referring to the clock on my desk, it's binary, and that's cooler.

Shadoen, it's an artist rendering of a Cunjo, the EVN creature from which I take my name. I'll see if I can dig up the original scan for you. You're already looking at the best part, though :P

coulden't you mount the joysticks on the arms of your chair? Best to use wireless ones that way you don't have to trip over cords. or you could get one of these and use whatever usb based controllers you want without cords to trip over.

Damn Cunjo, that's very eerie.
I have the same 2 joysticks, same keyboard, and same monitor, looks like on the new PC.
However, I have a different mouse and a different case, and my LEDs are blue.

Oh and I'm much sexier.
