[QUOTE=Recording...;15934131]16 USB ports and 8 Firewire 400 ports... Why do you need so many? Especially the Firewire? The only Firewire device I even own is my Camcorder. :P[/QUOTE] External drives. I refuse to use external USB drives as they have slower throughput as opposed to firewire which is a lot faster. EDIT: also, I don't like USB hubs I do have a lot of USB peripherals ranging from my G15 to a skype handset all the way to a serial adapter for my tablet.

[QUOTE=pentium;15804459]Friends system just got completed. *pics* Aside from the fact that it has several really nice 1tb drives in it and a PCI floppy controller, the quad core processor is actually a pre-release prototype of the Core2 Quad.

Got my HAF 932 today. It's fricking huge... First attempt at cable management. How'd I do? [img]http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/5079/img1411i.jpg[/img] [img]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/1606/img1413j.jpg[/img] [img]http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/3306/img1414s.jpg[/img]

Eh, not bad for a first. But then again considering the case basically does everything for you I'd have to take some points off :v:

The worst looking part of my job is all the USB headers coming from the front panel... And I'm still stuck with the ribbon cable IDE DVD drive D:

you could get a rounded IDE [img_thumb]http://www.custompcbuild.com/image-files/rounded_ide_black.jpg[/img_thumb] [editline]03:41AM[/editline] not as neat as SATA but still better than those ribbons

Yeah those work fine. Of course I prefer SATA to them for cabling reasons...but I think they look a hell of a lot better than the standard flat cables.

[QUOTE=ReznorT;15952555]I can't stand those grills over the fans[/QUOTE] I am somewhat disappointed with the interior of that case. I was expecting a top notch, super organized interior...especially for the amount of money dropped on it. Don't get me wrong though, I still think it's a very nice machine.

Elaborate front panel designs annoy me.

[QUOTE=ReznorT;15953947]That case looks like someones nightmare[/QUOTE] What do you mean?

I hate the fully plastic curved front panels

[QUOTE=ReznorT;15954195]I like simple not to crazy front panels which are not a plastic fantasic nightmare and prone to breaking and looking cheap[/QUOTE] Oh the front realy doesnt look cheap in person and is sturdy [img]http://s440.photobucket.com/albums/qq129/theSPARTANhalo/?action=view&current=almostdone3.jpg[/img]

Mine is aluminum, simplistic design, and with a wire-brushed finish. The door is even has a reversible hinge. :)

The horrible thing about a lot of the more recent Raidmax cases is that they've cooked up this ingenious plan to attach the mobo tray to the rear panel. So it's literally impossible to stick things behind the mobo tray, because the panel IS the tray. My friend asked me to cable his [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156063]Smilodon[/url], but when I saw it I was forced to quit.

Shit case brands seem to be Raidmax, Nzxt

I really don't mind Raidmax's earlier models, I used quite a few myself. But their attempts at optimization are going south. It really makes me wonder why case brands don't grasp the idea that we want our cases to look neat.

i took my pc from one house to another yesterday and my brother put something on top of it while it was led down in the car. has loads of small scratches on the side now!!!!!!!!!!

[QUOTE=Recording...;15954331]Still, it's ugly curved plastic... Mine is aluminum, simplistic design, and with a wire-brushed finish.

To me it's like saying, "Your 96' Cavalier is ugly and sucks, my 05' WRX STi is so much better, it's faster, newer, better design :)" If he likes it and it does the job for him then it's just fine.

My iMac G3. Upon purchase, I had to clear the firmware password (Similar to a BIOS password that prevents booting) before I could even turn the sucker on. Once i cracked it open (Scary, since there's a CRT tube inside) i had to push the CLR button a few times. It also had two ram slots, one was empty and the other had a 256MB stick. So I added my spare 512MB stick for 768MB ram. After that little fiasco, I began to boot it up, and got the dead Mac logo. Fun. After hooking up my USB DVD-Rom drive and torrenting OS X Tiger 10.14.11, I was greeted by S.M.A.R.T. with a dead harddrive warning. The 60GB Maxtor was toast. Luckily my roommate was going to throw away an old TiVo 2 system, so I gutted it of it's 40GB harddrive, and got OS X to install flawlessly, as you can see here: [img]http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/286/101608002538.jpg[/img] The $75 bucks I paid for it was definitely worth the work, as it runs firefox, msn messenger, MS Office, etc just fine. I gave it to my neighbor so he could get online with my Wi-Fi because he always goes to the public library to watch ghost videos on youtube... he's too poor to save up for a pc and internet i guess. :/

That's very considerate of you.

Nice. I'm sure that thing is already worth a fair amount of money.
