Nice set up, can I ask how is vectorlinux? and what is/are it's role(s) on your network?

NSFW? You can't see anything, but should you be at work - slight caution should be used. 2 pictures..

UDHA, thanks :p

My VectorLinux server box is currently a dedicated server for a DoD:S server, but has been for UT99 and UT2004 and CS:S before. I want to make it be a webserver too, but am a little lazy and have yet to configure it....

Several times it has been my backup desktop, when my desktop is down and I need interweb for fixing it for example, and is has come in handy loading pictures (since XP x64 still won't recognize my camera as a flashdrive.....).

After I installed everything has run pretty smoothly despite my general linux nubishness (though I'm much better now....) and I have only reinstalled once. It was even quicker to configure than my Windows box, right after installing everything just kinda worked...

The best part though.... Got a USB switch and a monitor with 2 inputs, so I can use my kbd/mouse/monitor for both my desktop and server, and thanks to an AC heatsink, passive NB sink, and modded psu, the server box is essentially inaudible.

Supposedly the biggest advantage to Vector is that is a little bit faster than slackware, and comes with a decent package set. The server has been running 24/7 (with one reboot) since sometime in september when I moved in and got everything set up.

Hmmm... looks familiar. :hmm:
My peltier cooled (slightly messy) Lian Li.



Gotta luv black'n'silver with blue/white LED's. Right?

That is:
S939 A64 [email protected],2GHz

420Watt Yesico fanless powersuply

All components are passively cooled :D Now if I only can find that fast and quit harddrive I was looking for :) I designed this case first with SolidWorks, but then ran into troubles with with CNC drill at work as it doesn't support parts that are wider than 490mm :( So I had to go handy and I'm still missing front, back and top panels... as I got lazy :) :drool:

painkiller, in my experience Western Digital have whisper-quiet drives, compared to my seagates, the WD's are silent when seeking or thrashing about, the seagates sound like they are grinding gears :eek:

Finally Got It All:

AMD Athlon64 3800+ X2
Abit AN8 Ultra (nForce 4 Ultra)
2GB Patriot PC3200 DDR Mem.
ATI AiW X800XL 256MB

This is my ghetto rig. It gets the job done, so I don't complain. I do wish I had a chair, though. Anything not named in awesome red text is in my sig, except for my Xbox controller, which I forgot to list in awesome red text and don't want to list in my sig.

Evil's new case... Yay...

I like it.. who makes it?? is that a steel mesh on the side, so the panel is open to air?

My little corner:

Updated Room/Desk
 

Update.. cleaned up wires some more, added cc black light.

Here we have some cheapo case that I got for free, butchered by myself. Spray painted with some lovely metallic gold paint from wal-mart, and the side panel ripped open by wood blades in a jigsaw that I got for Christmas last year (I was too busy playing with my new toy to notice the wrong blades, and go get some metal ones).

The machine we see here is an Abit NF7 2.0, with Athlon XP-M 2500+ (currently @ 2300mhz, load temp 105F, case temp 85F, ambient temp 76F) under a thermalright SP90 or something, cooled by a Delta 120MM fan mounted on a thermaltake 80mm ducting mod and an 80mm to 120mm adaptor. At full speed (~5000rpm?) this fan pumps out 190CFM, and is about as loud as a 7500BTU window AC unit on full crank. I know because that's what next to the machine, and running in the summer. We have a single optical drive, an NEC DVD-RW, and 6 hard drives. 2 80Gb SATA drives, 3 40Gb PATA drives. The SATA drives are in RAID 0 from a PCI card, as are 2 of the PATA drives. Audigy 2 soundcard, and X800XT AIW. Some glowy fans too. On the side of the case is an Aerocool non-axial fan, FTW. It blows down on the graphics card.




You too could enjoy ghetto mods, just have little patience, little skill, no money, and no workbench so you have to do everything outside on your gravel drive!





Sorry no pics of the whole desk, but you get the idea.

I love my VT 7105 PC case, and it loves me. :heart:
It has the mesh panels on all sides. It's a smooth mesh though, and you don't even really notice it. The camera flash lit up the white fiber dust filter :X.

That's a really sweet lookin' case, Comit. :)

I totally love the Gigabyte Aurora, it's neat-o:


But the window needs to be bigger:



I really need to switch to bigger tubing, but that means revamping the whole system...not cool. But I love the whole thing, it came out great. :D
