heres a snapshot i took while uninstalling ms office:

i think i saw that one core go up to 60, but didn't stay there long.

i had xp on it that i was using for work, but am formating now to give to my family for their Pentium 3, LOL :D :eek:

i'll take some more temps when i'm done.

now, if i can remember where i put that key... :confused:
 
Looking good. HDD is a bit toasty but other than that, it's nice!

Also, my friend has one of the pc's in a small case. it's a hp or something, and the cpu runs in the 50's at idle.

What are your load temps like?

EDIT: I'd also recommend making that little fan an intake fan rather than exhaust. especially seeing as it's the only other fan apart from the CPU. You need some cool air coming in. The hot air will espace through cracks and through the plastic, so an intake fan is better.

This project is pretty cool, perhaps you could adapt the controller port to be USB, and then buy a USB NES controller and a real NES controller, and change the cord/casing so it uses the modified controller port and original casing, so from the outside it looks precisely like an authentic NES controller, but connects via USB?

Edit: Read further down and saw that you made it front USB, similar idea would be to buy a USB NES controller?

I think you could fit a low-profile 9600GT in there!

although, when you use the low profile bracket you lose the VGA connector, unless you could hook it up into another slot or something.

I'll see if i cany find one on newegg..........

you're in luck!

Linkin beat me to the idea, you can also find a LP passive 8400GS if you're trying to make it silent

thanks! :)

haven't got around to get any real temps. i just finished installing xp last nite and today will be configuring profiles for about 4 users and hopefully move them out of the Pentium 3 machine by the end of the week.

as for the fan, i've read both sides of the intake/output debate. for now, i'll keep the negative pressure, hopefully the filters on the vents will keep it somewhat clean.

thanks :good:

i saw those nes controllers, they go for like $35 :eek: that's too much for just a couple of buttons.

i really won't be playing any games on it, it'll be more of a family computer. so the extra video card wont be necessary either. besides, i don't think it'll fit in there LOL :P

I used to love my family's old Nintendo. The work you have done is amusing to me. The processing power of that computer is probably over fifteen times what a Nintendo originally was. :)

My bad, I was off a couple of decimal places, lol. I need more sleep.

It's more than 1500 though...the C2D has 2 cores that can each perform more than one calculation per clock cycle.
