least you got it working useably.

last tme i ventured a case mod, i slipped while cutting out the fan hole in the panel, and had to weld a chunk back on. then, the vibrations of the fan broke the piece back off and (since there were only 2 fan mount spots) it fell down, bending the other mount spot, while the first chunk was teraing into the fan blades...

in he end i just cut out a larger hole and put a glass panel in. havent touched case modding since. (that and im too lazy to buy some new dremal blades)

Hot chick? (No 0ffense, Asia) I think not. Have you seen her without her pound of make-up on?

Actually, yes, there are plenty of pictures of her available without the makeup that her movies require of her. In fact, I'd really doubt it's her choice to put that much makeup on, but rather the fact that while asian stars are still popular, there's a not-so-subtle "americanizing" of their looks when possible by industry execs.

Yes, I've seen her without the makeup, and in fact I think she looks ten times hotter that way. Asian girls are gogeous beings, and I'd pay premium prices for a film with her in her natural looks.

The absolute hottest picture of Ms. Carrera for me is the following:

So there!

The correct answer would have been "Those non-angle mounted floppy drives are so un-1337,so I decided to make a statement" :D
Nice rig,BTW

Just so you're aware, Asia, when I first got the server that runs BeyondUnreal and our hosted sites, I had to pick a name for her. She's a thin, seski 1U rack unit with plenty of balls. The name was obvious....

We adore you and your 1337 case! :D

/Me lets out a long sigh of relief…

My torment is over, I now understand the inverted & askew floppy. Thank you. :D

Asia is about 100 times cuter without makeup.

Her website says she grew up in the same general area of New Jersey that I come from. Nice to see another Jersey UT player who had the good sense to get the heck out of Jersey.

I was playing UT on a random server and it had all these custom maps. Some of them seemed to be dedicated to Asia. One had a picture of Asia at the end of a long hallway with her hand up beckoning me to go to her. I figured she was hinting that she had get a shield belt or amp or something for me. When I got to the end of the hallway, her picture changed to one of her laughing at me, and a trapdoor opened and dropped me into the lava. One of the funniest things I have ever seen in a UT map!

Welcome to the forum, Asia:)

I'm still at the 'Ooooh, I'm going to install my own second hard-drive' stage. One day I'll do myself a custom rig. I think yours looks great.

Here's a bit of gear that might interest you. I'll be getting one, because since I do music, I need something quiet to cool my CPU.

But I think it looks really beautiful:

deathmaker - the remote on/off comes with a device card that connects to the mobo's power and reset switches. the card also has a small antennae to receive the remote signals.

terminal - the lights generate virtually no heat. they run 24/7, and are always cool to the touch, just like the fluorescent tubes in your kitchen. i got the idea from the lighting guys on set - to spiff up a dull set quickly, they'd use fluorescent tubes covered in colored gels. the best thing about those 'flo-tubes' was that the set always stayed nice and cool, unlike the oven-baking effects of regular movie lights!!

snipeo - the monitor light wires were pulled to the back of the monitor, where the reds & blacks are soldered together so i only needed to make one connection instead of two. then i hooked up an adapter with a red/black wire to a power supply plug inside the case, and ran that wire out the back of the case, where i joined it with the monitor light wire(s). again, there may be an easier way, but this is what i came with, and it works, so... :p

qapete - aw shucks... i'm flattered! :D i liked the "plenty of balls" comment too, hehehe!!

boom - that was MY server you were playing on, and that particular map was called 'reticent'! :) i'll bet you probably fragged with me and/or my asst. dictator me2, since we play there 'most every night! (sad note - my UT server was with excite@home and went down for good two days ago - we're trying to relocate it now... *sob!*)


well, if i need dismantled and/or multiple computers for geek-level status, i guess my 5 athlons and 1 intel - all in permanently open cases - should qualify me. LOL! and if any of my babies starts overheating, i've got plenty of toys to remedy THAT problem too, hehehe...
