The Smith Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Looks good I vote for waiting the HD5870 We're already in september so it shouldn't take long now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Update 1 Lucky me!! I just received an email from Newegg saying my case had arrived and would be shipped within 48 hours :thumbs-up: Pleasant surprise, considering it had been listed as an ETA of September 25th because the first order had sold out. Guess some folks cancelled, woot for me. The Smith: Thanks. I'm buying parts as the money comes in. I probably won't get the card till January-ish, depending on finances, but this is a long term project anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baulten Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) First pictures! It's of the case cathodes and the new DVD burner :up: Sony Optiarc Black: Logisys 12" Red Cold Cathodes: Sorry for the subpar image quality. It's hard to get a decent image in the dorms... Maybe I'll take some photos of the case outside when it comes in. Edited September 4, 2009 by Baulten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 Since I doubt anyone wants to print your photos, it would be a good idea to resize your 10MP pics to something more sensible like 1280x960 or smaller, so that they are easily viewable on everybody's screen when viewed @ 100%, and also they won't take so long to load (I'm on a 16 Mbps connection, and I would say they load slowly, also, the quality @ 100% is horrendous, maybe you should shoot the pics @ 5MP or something, or increase the quality settings) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baulten Posted September 4, 2009 Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Haha, sorry, I didn't realize they were so large. I took them quickly with a friend's camera. I've gotta mess with the settings to get some better quality. I'm uploading resized picture right now. The rest of the parts will be taken in much better quality, I assure you. Edit: Resized the pictures. Now they don't look quite as crappy. Edited September 4, 2009 by Baulten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
