ROFL you are not kidding

[road-runner]

Whats even sadder is I have two more rigs the same way mounted on a board, I could not afford cases.

i'll just play for fun.

 

These are my server and the pentium d folding rig. Both are equally trashed. So either one will work as an 'entry.' I can also put up that mess I call the closet folding farm.

So, this is my little *cough* beauty.... *coughcough*

Now what this is, believe it or not, this is my server, therefore storage rig. So what happens with this is that it gets booted every weekend, I backup the important files from my parents/brother/sistsers and sometimes myself (I should do that more often really!), which usually takes a couple of hours by itself. This is a rig I got from a friend, but I had no case here at home, but also no funds to get one, or I was too lazy. So I got an old champagne carton (I kid you not!) and cut a couple of holes into it to form a case. The motherboard fit perfectly, as it was mini-ATX, and I ever had enough space for a PSU, CD drive (if I need one, I take it from my main rig), and one or two harddrives. My parents thought I had officially gone mad, but then when I got them their data back after my sister broke out harddrive (decides she needs to stick a magnet to the PC case <_< what a retard!), things turned around a bit

 

So here are the amazing specs:

Some I-have-no-clue-how-old mobo, a Gigabyte of some sort

a VIA Cyrix III 600MHz socket370 processor @ whatever it boots at

2x128MB SD-RAM

Either some integreated graphics chip, or a Matrox PCI card

a T-Online USB to LAN Adapter

1x 200GB Seagate

LC-Power 300W PSU (noname)

normally i'd say people who have boxes of champagne laying around the house shouldn't win prizes lol...

Well I posted it on the board alone but they said it had to be case so I changed it to the sony and when you came up with a cardboard case I ran out to the street and got the box I had just thrown out for the garbage man for a case.
