PC modding! As if the car wasn't enough!

In a moment of inspired madness, I decided to rip all the panels off my computer and respray the nasty beige box the same dark metallic grey colour as my wheels :D

So until the bloody paint dries and I can re-fit the panels, this is what I'm stuck working with:







Stylish or wot? [xx(]
It's all in the details. Like the case fan hanging in front of the CPU by a piece of old wire tied to the power supply, or the two wires (circled) that I have to touch together to switch the bugger on. And as an added bonus, the neons are enough to light my room at night! :p

Someones been having fun with neons ;):D

very smart:D

I have a bling* bling* shiny blue thing

JohnnyBoy, quick question, what's the difference between Non-ECC and ECC registered memory????????????????

Cheers
TC. :D

I prefer modding microwaves myself ;):D

Sorry TC, I haven't got a clue!

And I just got a pretty painful shock off my half-a-computer B)

it's to do with error checking TC, I think I am right in saying most normal MBs just use non-ECC, the memory ISN'T cross-compatible I believe.

Uno 1.0ie Start. Standard.

twincamms, ECC stands for Error Checking Correction. I think every 3rd clock cylce it checks the memory for basic errors in whats stored in it. Its slower than non-ecc and does not overclock as well, but is useful in systems were it really really matters that the system is 100% stable (ie servers!)

On topic, i sprayed my pc case many moons ago -


thats the only pic i have of it tho, no digicam for me 5 years ago!

Thankyou for that, I'm modding my system and it says do not use ECC Ram and I was just wondering what the difference was, not encountered it before, cheers guys! ;)

D'oh! Just realised I've used all my paint up and I've forgotten to do the front panels of my DVD drives [}:)]

I is officially a muppet!

^^ jonnyboy!

Don't worry JB, mine is the same. Silver case with beige CD and DVD. never bothered sorting it.......

Mwhahahah Another sheep to the slaughter in PC mods

My wreck of a computer now has a shiny metallic grey/black case!
The beast is now complete! Well, the sprayjob's a bit shabby, and there's a crack in the acrylic side panel but at least it's no longer beige!
Pics are a bit crap as my digital camera refuses to focus properly when the flash is turned off.

What are the specs on that Johnnyboy, is it top flight or is it all lights and no action?
