m0rph's second buildHey guys, almost fully completed... I gotta wait for my 80mm Tornado, 2 Antec blue led fans, and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, and then my Creative Labs 7.1 Speakers... woo... I know there is wire problems, but i wanna get EVERYTHING working, then wire manage... I'm satisfied with everything on this. Just put the desk together today, it's beautiful

Tell me what you think, i know half of u will say "wire management" and i understand, kthx.

i still got a little cleaning up to do in my case that i finished about a week ago.

I see not all the pics are computer related.
What's with the Compaq keyboard? Are you trying to fool your friends into thinking that you don't really have any power under the hood?

if you look now, theres a new link.. ALMOST ALMOST Done... Missing the new soundcard, but i got the 7.1 Creative labs speakers, awesome btw... The keyboard was shown to friends to say "i aint got no money for a keyboard"...
new pics are here...
December 31st UpdateThe fan wires? i just fed through the backs of the HD cage and floppy one, i taped it all up in the back to hold excess wires, its a ghetto job, but im stripped for cash, was planning on heat shrink but, cant.

Thanks, im still waiting for that soundcard, i played Call of duty last night on 6.1 - wow.. now im waiting for my ZS platinum... I'm listening to my old ruff ryders now with the bass high, its too sexy

After soundcard, i guess ima buy a gig of ram, to make it 1.5gigs, im not gonna go RAID... slows my gaming down, i think...
that cd-rw is like 5 yrs old, i need to paint it and its only 12x, but i always use 8x, so i might buy a 50$ CD-RW cuz i'll never use a dvdrw...
And finally, ill buy a hsf for my northbridge, cool that sucker down...

Yes, that is 1.5 gigs. There are 1024mb in a gigabyte...
Though on a side note, it's typically not a good idea to use more than 1gb of ram unless it's ecc registered ram. You'll start to get some errors if you do.

Really? Thanks for the tip... i haven't got the money, so i got time to decide..
i got the Audigy ZS platinum from Egghead at 161$... Good crap price... and those speakers from Circuit City for 130$... and i LOVE them...
god, if the fedex guy doesnt show tomorow, ill be pissed ;x

wow, that is a lot cleaner than mine...u inspire me...
btw...nice chair...comfy but one thing, have your armrests started cracking and splitting? I have the same one and the armrests are gettin messed up, also my foam is getting compressed...oh well, it was nice for almost a year...maybe next time I will get leather
m0rph
Jan 2 2004, 08:21 AM
it's doin me fine, my . is tightly, warmly nessled, arm rests are fine, and its been over a yr too lol... Yea, wire managment is a ###### to do, Especially when you got AGP/PCI using molexes/IDEs... Im now waiting on the truck to come with my sount card. I think, i might buy...
Wire Sleeving - This one looks pretty crap clean, with a 3rd bay coming, ill need more wires and all this crap, so might as well shell out 30 bucks and clean the ugly yellow/red/black cables... Wouldn't you think a company would sell more with pre-installed heatshrink/expandable wrappings? i bet some do, but i haven't seen them...

God... i got the soundcard installed, sounds perfect, but... remote aint working... no one seems to know whats rong either... It doesnt send signals... i dont know how to work the sensitivity either..
SkullZ
Jan 2 2004, 07:02 PM
Remote control with wire, or batteries? Batteries: Check if theyre not upside down or anything.(I know dumb . reply, but people forget that option alot ..referring to techies that think they have something difficult on their hands..)
What do u mean by sensitivity ?

Jan 3 2004, 10:04 AM
Ah nm, i got it. Everything is good except, my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with omega drivers (3.10) - Well, i go to smartgart, and it wont change to 8x, it keeps goin back to off when i restart... if anyone knows how to fix that, help me out...
AND...

For some reason, even if the headphones are on, when i speak into the mic, my voice and the music is recorded... really loud too... Gotta find out whats rong...
New update - Soundcard.Theres a new update, well two... Jan2nd and newspeakers... check um out

btw... i was so mad at the soundcard too, they didnt have a rounded IDE cable, but i had one, then i realize its different then a IDE... so i gotta deal with that flat one..
woot FINAL!
Final!!

Woha playing with speakers like that for the first time, really get u in "teh zone" ;x
about the Radeon, try other drivers, cuz i heard about those omegas being dangerous( dont know 100% its omega). Otherwise check if your motherboard supports 8x :/
m0rph
Jan 27 2004, 08:42 AM
Yea... Im officially done. I got Sound workin really good, even though im waiting on mounting the rears behind me, but it takes time to build up... anyway
I just flashed radeon 9800 pro to XT... flashed bios on the mobo... new chipset update... Got the 8x AGP to work... The wires are a lil bit still lookin messy... but im not gonna fix it... too much stuff..
Now, the next things on my list to do is, buy a Raptor drive... 36gb... make that C:... Don't know if im gonna Raid0 it... its soo promising, but ill lose all my backups, unless, i lan it to my 60gig in the other computer...
Followed by, new DVD+RW/DVD-RW + CD-RW.... black... i got this white one... its horrible though...

- but it works, so whatever...
Northbridge fan.... i want a new one

Thats pretty much it ;D
If you want some pics... there at..
