Ok, here it is.... FINALLY

Of course I still don't have everything setup

I'm really digging the dual 19' displays right now though

Display

**DreamCaster** · 07-12-2003, 01:36 PM

Front

**DreamCaster** · 07-12-2003, 01:37 PM

And in place

Eventually, I'd like to etch the side window with my dremel, but that's down the road

you need to ask? me thinks a certain ms croft will be the subject

from the looks of things the soho file server is rapidly becoming the offical system case of pctechtalk staff.

thats the cheiftec version rather than the antec myself and rasta own isnt it?

rastagard · 07-12-2003, 05:58 PM

Ya beat me to it, Ripp.

It sure looks like the Antec, dunnit?????

Very nice DC, since it's similar, but better, than mine I know yer gonna be happy with it. I'm not technical enough to know how it performs on paper, but mine rocks my world, flat out.................

Yes Ms Croft would be my first choice if I can find a nice enough sketch to work off of

And the case is a Dragon Chieftec picked up from Jab-Tech

To finish it off you need some Silver Krylon Vinyl dye and spray those front drives...

Krylon is super easy to use too, much easier than spray paint !

Is this PSU a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W Xaser Edition? I just got the same PSU to replace my cheapo Agiler 400 W (it was giving 4,78 v on the 5v rail, and 13,010v on the 12 v rail...) The first impressions is "man, it's heavy!"

. But it's top quality, high power output, excellent airflow, sata hotswap power...

BTW, Nice rig, top performance in almost every aspect

Cha-Ching!!!
Very Nice DC!!!

Those dual monitors are a nice touch. Makes me drool with envy.

I like the way ya mounted the disk drives.

I didn't think of that, I just started from the top and stacked em.

Its a good idea to seperate em like that so you can have em both open and still be functional.

It's the little things that make the system really nice.

It's a good idea to keep optical devices separated (specially DVD burners and fast CD burners) because during operation they tend to get very hot. Same with hard disks.

Good advice, not always possible, but I am going to change mine since I have the room.

Learning things all the time.
