pics and specs of my "ricer" machine(aka blue balls)

SERprise · 11-29-2005, 11:55 PM

dont laugh... I spent 5¢/ft on some wire wrap and bought a $40 case/PS combo. Then put some $1.99 blue LED's in the PS in place of the stock ones. I laugh at people with PC's like this, but I just built a new rig for myself so I'm putting this on ebay and figured what I did may be more appealing to somebody there

I upgraded from my 1 gig (2x512) of XMS to 2GB(2x1GB) PQI Turbo cas2 ram in my new machine so I ended up just putting my corsair in my Linux box and moved it's 1 gig of Ultra pc3200(it actually isn't too bad, it runs in dual channel still) over to the ricer machine. I also got myself a new SLI board so I put my old Gigabyte NF4 4x board(k8nf-9) in it, put my WD 160GB sata drive over and got myself 4 Hitachi sk80 that I now run in raid 0. Replaced my 6600GT with a 6800GS so my GT also found its new home. Also got myself a new memory card reader/floppy combo drive so I moved my old floppy drive and old reader over there too. I also threw in my old cpu and bought it a new DVD burner. Anyway, here are the specs of it for those that I confused with my explaination

Gigabyte k8nf-9 NF4 4x
A64 3000+ Venice(Silencer64 blue LED cooler)
1GB(2x512) Unltra PC3200 <only one installed for the pic
XFX 6600GT(Vantec blue LED cooler)
WD 160GB SATA drive
NEC 3540 DVD burner
generic floppy& memory card reader(forgot brands, not important)
Raidmax case & 420W PS

think that's all?? What you all think I'll get for it on fleabay?? It will also come with a new unregistered copy of Windows x64(still have 3 copies to get rid of). Also, does that thing actually look ok you think?? It's a solid machine and all, I just moved on to better things so I bought my parts a new case/PS and dressed it up a bit so I don't have to sell parts individually, too much work. It just so happened that my old motherboard and video card were blue so when I seen that case with the blue temp LCD on the front, I seen the potential

lol. Hmm, maybe I'll even post a thread here at the forum to see if anybody is interested in buying it.. can't hurt to post it there and see what offers I get, might do that later.

ok, finally(for those that actually read that), here are the pics.. comments are welcome, good or bad... I personally dont care for this style.. maybe I'm just old

wire wrap and round cables for all the drives do wonders.. I actually have the wires folded like 2-3 times in the wrap to get rid of all the excess, it was a LOT of work and my back was in pain by the time i finally finished hanging over the case getting it right, I wasted atleast an hour just on the wires alone, then installing the new fans in the PS, installing the components in the case, etc.. I started in the morning and it was already lunch time by the time I finished with just the hardware & looks.. atleast everything else was just software that I could do while sitting in a chair, I never spent so much time on a PC, nor will I ever do it again lol

done

thanks for the link.. I'd post a pic of my actual daily user pc but It isn't anything special, no wire wrap, random screws floating in the bottom that I never get around to removing, more dust than you can imagine etc etc...

I would also say $500-$600 for a fair price.

You're not old, I don't like the "ricer" case look either lol. I did when I first wanted a computer, but now it seems pointless.
