[Soybomb]

Its just not cool unless you run it on a sheet of copper

 

[notfred]

eventually the whole thing will be crammed into a little tiny aluminum box and run as a dedicated Q3 instagib server for LAN parties.

 

[Killbat]

Please point out to me why I should be impressed.

[notfred]

[GoWaldo]

OMG, be extremely careful with that open power supply, I shocked myself on one of those before! Couldn't feel my arm for an hour :Q:Q:Q

 

[notfred]

I got it to post at 133, but it wont boot all the way into DOS 6.22. 125 seems stable though (83x1.5)

You should a seen me ealier when I was making sparks and smoke come off the thing. Note: NEVER switch this thing to run on 115V, the switch is wired backewards for 115 and 230V. if you set it to 115 (really 230) it blows a diode. also, dont try to remove the fan and pridge the open pins with a screwdriver to get it to boot - makes many sparks.

yeah, and dont grab the back of the plug assembly either when it's plugged in. it hurts.

I'm surprised the PSU still works.

I'm surprised your arm still works :Q

 

[brxndxn]

Eh.. A good healthy shock never hurt anyone.

I tried building my computer case out of an Erector set ... problem was the screws (no matter how I tried them, ) NEVER worked right

 

[notfred]

hmm, a floppy, cd, or network card would be useful in this machine about now....

 

[Paulson]

my question is where would any of those things even fit?

hehe... Nice spare parts though.
