inside my comp

[n_w95482]

here's some pics of the inside of my comp lol.
here's what the #'s mean
1: graphics card (gf4 mx420 pci)
2: us robotics v92 modem ($85 local retail)
3: generic usb card
4: 4 gb western digital hd (need...more...space...)
5: generic floppy drive
6 my cdrom drives (cendyne 48x12x50 cd-rw, 40x delta cdrom)
7: my 2 ISA slots that will never be used :p
to the right of those is my cpu
if i only had a agp slot too... :(

[n_w95482]

this is why i opened up my comp in the 1st place: to clean out the heat sink fins (i took off the fan 1st). the silver circle in the middle is the dead spot (or whatever its called) in the fan, and the dark area around it is the DUST (eww). and ive only had this hs in here since july or august 2002.

[n_w95482]

ya i kno its a crappy pic, but im not going to try to take another one ;) the gray things on the blades are the dust. :spy:

[n_w95482]

it was too hard to clean it with the hs clamped on the mboard, so i took it off. the white stuff on it is the plain thermal paste that came with the hs in a bag.

[n_w95482]

the cpu in the socket with the thermal stuff on it. btw its a amd k6-2 500 mhz procesor (super socket 7 mboard)

[n_w95482]

this is when i took the cpu out, so u can see how big it is and see a better pic of it.

[n_w95482]

this is how thin the cpu is, probably the same thickness as any other processor (i suck at takin pics:heh: )

[n_w95482]

this is the back of the processor with the pins. it doesnt have as many pins as a athlon or p4 cuz its a older/slower procesor.

[n_w95482]

heres a pic of the gf4 mx420.

[n_w95482]

heres a shiny pic of the gf4. its a lot easier to see the stuff on it.

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

Wasn't there already a thread to do this made? :p

[n_w95482]

sry if this was posted somewhere else. go ahead and move or delete it if ya want.

[vivrantpig]

hmmm dusty -_-

[GSDragoon]

I remember when I cleaned out my heatsink a few days ago. The good thing is that I lowered my temps by like 7c.

[n_w95482]

well, i did a virus scan and such on my comp to put it under load for a while, then i cheked the procesor temp. it used to run at 125 F (51.6 C) under load (according to bios), but it runs at about 123 F (50.5 C), so it HAS gone down a bit :D. the fan i have in my comp is a antec fan that i bought at my local staples for $12-14. it normally runs at 5700-6000 rpm.

Figured i'de pitch in...no point in resserecting that old thread just for a few pics...and i believe that old thread was about your desktop area and people were just throwing in their rigs for no reason

[N1ghtw0lf]

Got my CD Drives...

Top One - 52x,42x,52 Liteon CD-R/RW
Bottom One - 16x Liteon DVD Player
One With Yellow Cable - Stupid $3 Dollar Floppy

[N1ghtw0lf]

CPU Fan...Couldn't Take it off ebcause the computer was the one i was running it from and i dont think that woulda worked too well and my CPU fan is clamped on there so hard ide have to break it to get it off...

[N1ghtw0lf]

My wonderous non-used PCI slots...threw em in for the hell of it...

[N1ghtw0lf]

Below shot of My 40GB Maxtor Hard Drive...Hard at Work As Always

[N1ghtw0lf]

Just an outside shot of my computer while opened up...figured i might as well since i dug up the old PC Webcam....

[N1ghtw0lf]

And My Super DualBox That i Thought I'de add because its jsut so darn nifty...That's all and i hope you enjoyed the tour of my computer...maybe next time we'll do a tour of my room...discover many of things in there you will

[n_w95482]

lol thats a pretty big comp case (bigger than mine), but nice comp. i forgot to take a shot of my entire comp together (its very plain), but i might take a pic of it later...

[N1ghtw0lf]

I needed it big so i could work...my other one you have to take out the 1 fan, power supply and take out all the cards to put a new pCI card in...i refuse take a pic of that :)

[Galway no Sora]

Lol, dont have any digicame, so can't take any picture of my comp :(

[ShADoWFLaRe85]

Meh..

[N1ghtw0lf]

But then if we ever posted on that the Mods would lecture us about resserecting dead threads...and that was your whole set-up not just inside as this thread quite obviosuly is

[N1ghtw0lf]

more zoomed out shot...

[N1ghtw0lf]

back of computer...just decided to post some more cuz i was bored...

[N1ghtw0lf]

Can someone tell me what this does...its on all my fans...i think its to control the fan speed but i cant turn it or anything

[n_w95482]

it either looks like a grounding wire (which i doubt) or it's a temp probe so the fan can adjust its speed to the amount of heat in the case.

[n_w95482]

in this pic, u can see the front of my case. its pretty plain, but i dont need anything fancy, so im just fine with it :D

edit: when i got the pic off my camera, i turned off the camera, which then rebooted my comp for no reason. about a second after i turned it off, the screen went black, the cdrom lights started flashing (it does that during startup) and it went thru POST. does anyone kno why it did that? it seems like almost every time i turn off my camera after dl'ing pics off of it, it screws up my comp in some way, either by locking up a prgram called msgrsv32 (somethin like that) or giving me BSOD's ARGH :mg:
i cant get the camera to take better pics also...

[n_w95482]

holy crap, that thing is lit up :D nice case tho...

[N1ghtw0lf]

that musta cost ya quite a few mints there zerocopy...how much did that super-LED-lit case cost ya?

BTW... :) !!!SHOWOFF!!! :)

[zerocopy]

i lend my camera to my cousin who went on vacation, i've taken this shots using a sony digital handycam hooked up on my msi@tv-anywhere

[zerocopy]

the led came with the case cept for the neon tube

[zerocopy]

close up using nightshot's on a handycam

[zerocopy]

last one,

[N1ghtw0lf]

thanks for those nightwvision...i was about to say it got really dark without those LED's

[zerocopy]

well just got my digital camera back, ill post more and some of my back up system's

[zerocopy]

o.k here's my moni, i was watching berserk almost done 2 more episode's and i'll finally finish the serie's

[zerocopy]

my emulation rig, i just dismantled it cause i'm gonna take the voodoo5 and put it on my main rig, i dont need a high-end videocard since i only play counterstrike and broodwar

[zerocopy]

a voodoo5 agp, is it just me , this card seem's to display movie's much better than any of my other cards

[zerocopy]

my back-up rig if incase all of my other rigs Fack-up

[N1ghtw0lf]

its a coisisadence that your sleeve is the same color of the man in your avitar?? how many rigs you got?

[zerocopy]

my handycam which i used to post my earlier shot's

[zerocopy]

hehehe, it's just a coincidence i'm just a fan of shinobi, there's probably around 8 rigs all in all in the house 5 which are mine ,1 from my older bro, 1 for my sister and another one that's being used by my mom(it's a laptop i guess that doesnt count as a rig)

[zerocopy]

the magazine's i bought in the last 2 months, it helpss me let time pass by at work, my job is boring as hell zzzzzzzzzzz i tell you zzzzzzzzz..

[N1ghtw0lf]

hmm...must abe a pretty big comp geek (no offense)...ide show you all mine but this one is the only one you can really see...my other ones case is about 1/2 the size of this one...and then i have 2 extra modems, a 3 gig hard drive, and some other thing i took out of my old rig that i threw away...

[zerocopy]

i guess i am a comp geek, i have 3 20 gig h.d's which are all dead:)

[N1ghtw0lf]

yea...the only other thing i can add to my computer is another hard drive and ram...my IDE cables on hold 4 things and i have CD-R/RW, and DVD player and i figure i dont want a DVD-R so thats all besides another hard drive

[zerocopy]

im gonna buy a dvd-rom drive tomorrow and a front panel which display's my system temp, i'll post again when im done installing the hardware

[n_w95482]

i was bored today and decided to mess with the calculator. i made it calculate a few #'s then i made it cube the #. it took it at least 5 mins to calculate it, but the result was a VERY big # :eyemove:
i wonder how quickly a p4 3.06 ghz comp could have done it...:D
(sry if this was off topic)

[N1ghtw0lf]

hmmm...that calculator isn't very interesting...but you know...if i find anything else in my computer take a picture of i will...might take a picture of my workspace or the whole room or something...i dunno...im just bored

[dhkimboa]

here's a pic of my brand new thermaltake xaxser III
Im just posting this 2 pictures for now :yawn: until I get my new cables.

[dhkimboa]

number 2

[RF]

Thats awesome! The control panel at the top rox.

[N1ghtw0lf]

coolio foolio...didn't know it lit up at night like that...really like the case as i said in the other thread...take some pics of the inside once you get it all done and stuff...:) me wants a looksie

[dhkimboa]

same here, I didnt know it lite up at night like that after I got it.
I will be posting some pics for ya next week until I get my rounded cables and the power supply :grin:

[Noxious Ninja]

I already posted some inside pics to show Violineb how to get a fan attached to the SLK-800, so I'm not gonna repost 'em.

See here (http://ngemu.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35898).

[Cylinder]

Here we have a pic of my makeshift northbridge/rear of GPU summer cooling sullution. A spare OEM AMD 6000RPM fan with a fried soundcard faceplate as a mounting bracket. I have a better HSF for it in the works, but this will do for now I spose. The duct you see is an old Pringles can and a paper bag to duct air onto the GF3. It's hella ugly but it works rather well.

I seriously need to get my box painted. You would think having a father that paints cars for a living I would have this done by now. I just cant part with it for long enough to do it I guess heh.

[RF]

Erm, is there any way I could attach an extra amd fan to my radeon900 heatsink with some glue or something. I dont think glue would work cause the heatsink of the radeon gets damn hot.

[Cylinder]

Acctualy, try some glue from a hot glue gun. The temps that a graphics card reaches are not hot enough to melt that. Plus, if you need it to come off later its pretty easy.

[RF]

I just tryed some super glue. It seems to work, I only put a very small amount on, so if it melts, it wont go very far, and it will fall vertically downward, away from anything else. Time to load up generals and see if it sticks. :) Thanks.

[Cylinder]

I finaly just went ahead and did it. I took off the panels and top so my old man could paint them today. They are '92 Subaru Electra Blue Metalic. Just some of the stuff he had left over from a recent job. I'll post some pics of them and fully reasembled tommorow sometime. For now here is what it looks like with my super crappy Logitech Express webcam. Try not to cringe to much, I know they look terrible.

Heh, note the shells ontop of the monitor, .357 Mag, 9mm, and a .22L infront of the dancing beer can.

[fivefeet8]

I've already showed the inside of my computer before, but here are some with a better quality Digital Camera.

1st shot: The inside
2nd shot: Close up of my Coolmaster Aero7+ heatsink FAn
3rd shot: Shot in the dark
4th shot: Front of case with Aero7+ fan control dial

[Cylinder]

Hehe, that is one nasty rats nest in there fivefeet8. I liek the front of that case. I need to find someone with a digicam I can borrow for a day or 2.

[N1ghtw0lf]

i like that cpu fan fivefeet...probably cost about $40 though dont it?

[fivefeet8]

i like that cpu fan fivefeet...probably cost about $40 though dont it?

It cost about $35(US) with that huge Heat Sink.

[N1ghtw0lf]

yea...its got about twice as many RPM as mine and it comes with a shnazzy little dial...:)...i looked it up after i posted that

[fivefeet8]

I'm actually pretty pleased with it. For such a quiet and low rpm fan, the hsf cools quite nicely.

[N1ghtw0lf]

what are your temps?...probably differ for me because mines is a tid bit slower than yours...well more like a lot...but oh well

[fivefeet8]

My temps stays around 38C idle and loads at around 45C. That's with 2-3 hours of UT2k3 playing. :D

[Galway no Sora]

Woah, I wish I could have one of that HSF. Mine at 38 and 48 full load :(

[Cylinder]

OK all painted and reasembled. Took a few pics with a normal camera, but those wont be developed for a while, so some crappy webcam pics will have to do for now. God I hate this webcam... lol. It does the colour no justice at all. Oh yeah, the faceplates are not painted, since I couldn't care less really, and was to lazy to take apart the drives. This thing is crazy shiny now, and will be even more so when the paint cures up and hardens in a few weeks so I can polish it.

[galonzo]

wow! that will look pretty sweet all buffed out:) what the heck, here's mine:

[N1ghtw0lf]

my HSF has half the RPM of yours and it gets like 33 Idle...dunno full load though...never can move fast enough to restart the computer while at full load and check on setup during boot

[galonzo]

Woah, I wish I could have one of that HSF. Mine at 38 and 48 full load :(
WTF?!?! I must be doing something wrong here, I'm idle at ~56 and ~62 full load! my hsf is steady 5625rpm

[Violineb]

hmm I decided to post some pics of my rig now that I got to borrow my neighbors digicam. Thank god it has decent exposure settings when you see the night shot you'll know what I mean. I'll post eh maybe 10 shots if that's ok :D Can we just make a new thread of post shots of your rig? If no this thread should suffice.

Here we go.
1. shiny!! :nod:
2. open sesame. hmm only two CD drives.
3. case at day :D (off)
4. case at day (on) :D
5. case at night (on) :guitar:

[Kurbster]

does it really matter what the outside looks like? /me hugs his boring old white case which smells like burning something. I'm sorry...my poor consience was talking then :p

[Violineb]

and 3 more shots. I'm sure you should notice that I am a perfectionist and therefore I've hidden all wires and lights as best as possible. Whatcha think? I know it's not a very modded case but that'll come with time. Ah wonderful 24-25C idle temps :D

1. off and futher shot.
2. on and a bit closer.
3. on and close up :D

and believe me Kirby, I care just as much about the health and "inside" of my computer as outside. Otherwise I wouldn't have it running at 25C idle average, and the four case fans, and lust for performance....9500pro mega overclock. ;) For some stupid reason my 3dmark 2001 score beats 5'8"'s old score with his 4600 ti despite the fact that he gets higher FPS for most tests. :s Ah the power of Radeon heheheh. *shudders at the thought of FX5900 Ultra* :onthepull

[Kurbster]

ahh I see what's going one now...you have a nightlight when you go to sleep :p

I'm still trying to get use to my dad's camera...even if I don't post anything, you're not missing much :p

[Violineb]

nightlight eh? well my nightlight ownz everyone else's :D What is with that mess in 5'8's case? I can't stand it :o

[fivefeet8]

What is with that mess in 5'8's case? I can't stand it :o

When you've got 1 DVD rw drive, 1 DVD drive, 2 cd rw drives, 2 hds, and 4 case fans plus the cpu hsf fan, you need a lot of wire connections. I could probably clean it up better, but it's open enough inside for my CPU. The case is wider than it looks. ;)

[Violineb]

ok I wanted to know how that FX5900 is, what scores in UT2003 and 3dmark 01 and 03. ALso how do you connect all those drives if your Abit only has two IDE connectors? anyway I still think your need to organize your case. I'm quite sure I could still hide the wires if I had that many drives. SO again my question, how do you power 4 fans and 6 drives? and how do you connect them? I would only be able to get 4 on my normal IDEs 1 on the extra IDE and 2 on Serial.

[fivefeet8]

I connected the 2 dvd drives and 2 cdrw drivers onto my 2 ide controllers(4). My 2 ide hard drivers are connected to the 2 serial ATA150 raid controllers using ide-to-serial converters(2). All my fans are connected to 4 fan stubs on my motherboard or connected directly to the PSU power cables(6). Maybe I'll clean it up sometime, but right now, I'm busy. ;) As for the 5900 ultra benchmarks, I'll post them as soon as I get around to testing this card more along with some emulation screenshots. ;)
