Sure why not.

I only have a couple of pictures before I beefed up the GPU card and added all the fans. It could look awesome with its alienware type front on it but I have no money to spend on it It runs 2 power supplies because I couldn't afford one good one



BTW Think you have enough UV lit items in your case....it might need more.

I KNOW it needs a hell of a lot more. lol I just ran out of my budget for the interior design, next month brings more budget for it. but I'm going to be UV sleeving everything and redoing the wiring.


EDIT:
BTW, let me know if you want a better PSU...

My PSUs are solid for now, I might go to an X3 phenom when prices drop and then I'll drop the 600W PSU my friend has in it. It is a good brand so I know it will work, my current one is a 400W with good amperages for the rails I tried a cheap high wattage one and the 12v rail was not enough to run it with the graphics card at full power. I have a 150W as well running the lights and the HDDs and DVD drives, actually uses an MR2 relay I ghetto rigged to turn it on with the main PSU. My friends laugh at it but it cost 1/2 what theirs did and looks better especially since I cleaned up the wiring.

Thanks for the offer though.

I don't have any pictures of the inside of my computer because it's not very LOL AWESOME

But here's a picture of my computer desk that I just took.

Specs:
Dell Dimensions 8300 (Purchased 5 years ago)
Pentium 4HT 3.2ghz
3 GB of DDR PC3200 RAM
1TB Seagate Hard drive
ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512 MB AGP video card
Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 sound card
Hauppauge TV Tuner card + Video Input extension card
Altec Lansing 5.1 Surround Sound system with dual 6.5" subwoofers
Acer 24" 1080P monitor

Still plays Fallout 3 at 720P acceptably. Which I'd say is pretty impressive considering how **** my computer is. Oh, also, the case does not exist anymore. One day the side of the plastics fell off, and it just so happend to be HALF of the bottom of the computer case, so the computer sat at around a 35-40 degree angle instead of sitting flat. So I just removed the rest of the outer shell case.

Oh, where to start.


the 52" tv next to my laptop?


the home made san?


The SARS project (in the 4u rackmount) ?


Oh, how about the carputer version 1 for the olds? (version 2 for the mr2 is going to be hot, keep an eye out for *that* thread later this summer)


(touchscreen for the carpc)


or perhaps something a little more oldschool?


or a-lot more oldschool (holy crap, that one is dated?!)




...or maybe you just want straight up off the wall?

this is a dual cpu (around when dual core stuff just was getting ready to come out, that was spiffy) watercooled unit in a 4u rackmount case, mounted on drawer rollers inside a desk that would survive a nuclear explosion. explanation not available, but I will tell you that it monitored the water temperature (yes, that 6" pvc pipe stores water for the unit) with a thermal diode through the joystick port.



...need I go on?

also have an Acer Aspire One with 1.5 GB RAM and the 8 GB SSD with EWF, HP dv9000 with bluetooth and second hard drive upgrades. As far as Macs, I have a mini 1.6 GHz Core Duo (you read that right, and it really sucks) with 1.25 GB RAM, and I thought I still had my G4 400 MHz, but I forgot I sold that piece of **** for $100.

edit: yes, that's a 61 incher, and yes, it's ****ing awesome. +1 for Best Buy package deals.
