    ENTRY #6 GLScooby

    Specs:
    _
    XP 2400+ w/ Swiftech MCX462+ (lapped), Abit KD7, 512MB Kingston PC3200, MSI G3 Ti200 128MB, WD 120GB SE, SB Live, Pioneer 104S DVD, Cendyne 48/24/48_CDRW, Antec KS282 case w/PP303X 300W psu, 4 Antec LED Fans, CCFL.
    _
    I was really shootin' for clean here. I painted the inside of the case gold, hid the power button & LED leads behind the MB tray, turned the HDD around, stealthed the CDRW, added black wire loom, covered the area behind the PSU with a piece of aluminum (taped in with muffler tape), added a DIY blowhole, cut out the stamped grill in the back and on the intake for better airflow, and the window is 100% DIY - cut with Dremel - 3/16" acrylic - screws are countersunk to be flush with outside of the case. Thanks to everyone at SF. YOU helped make this a reality.

    Entry #10 Royal Oaks

    SPECS:
    Antec SX1035B w/ Antec pp352x
    Blue Cabling
    2 Sunon 50CFM & 2 Antec 34CFM fans
    AXP1700+ @1.7GHz
    Epox 8K5A2+ on board LAN
    K-Byte/Spec-Tek 512MB PC2100 DDR
    SK-7 w/ Sunon 80mm 50CFM
    Vantec Iceburq
    Lite-On 16x DVDROM
    Plextor 16x/10x/40x CDRW
    Maxtor Fluid Drive 40GB 7200RPM
    Maxtor 13GB 5400RPM
    3dFx Vodoo3 1000
    SoundBlaster Audigy
    Leadtek Winfast TV2000XP Tv Tuner

    The only mods I have done are tape up the power supply wires with Blue
    tape. I also cut out a small hole where the lock is supposed to be, as you can see from the front view of the case. I let my brother borrow my SmartFan II so it is not in use now, but usually I have the small little fan adjuster there. I also ripped off the huge purple things that used to be on the side of those fan holders. They looked horrific, especially with the blue. I think it looks a lot cleaner now. I am thinking of getting black face plates for both opticals, but for the time being, they stay beige . I put an old NB cooler on the Vodoo and took the extra heatsink that came with the Vantec and slapped it on the back of the card.







    Thanks Royal Oaks..
