I have a dremel, but it ain't good for shit, lol.. won't cut through case metal. I'll probably take it to my uncle's, he's got drills and such.
 
Yeah, do that.

If it's one of those built in case locks you can bust those off with a large flat head.

Hey, it works. Car thieves do that crap all the time.
 
Oh... there are two buttons on the side that you push in to get the top off, lol.

It looks like someone got to it before me, lol. There's no memory... this one's probably a socket 423, it takes sdram, lol.
 
I think I may have some sdram sitting around at my dads. If you need it.
 
Hrm.. neither of them has ram. They both take SDRAM. Only one had a hard drive. I have no idea how it would be mounted. Apparantly there were some kind of hinges or something it was supposed to use, but those were broke. I have hard drives, just need ram...

I'll take them to my uncle's and see what he can make of how to mount the hard drive, lol. Maybe we'll drill holes in the case and screw it to the bottom... heh
 
i would try to drill out the lock, if it isnt made of stainless steel;)
 
I just found out that they were already unlocked, haha. I also figured out how to mount/unmount expansion cards, and how the floppy drive bay works. As such, I also figured out that there's supposed to be a similar bay for the optical drive and hard drive, but it's just... not there. It's like this removeable cage thing that goes into these hinges and sits in place... it's just not there, heh

They're both IBM IntelliStation E Pro... type 6204, model EBC
 
So, my rig is back to crunching 24/7 unless I'm gaming. It wasn't for a few days, but then it got warm enough for the AC to be on until Oregon decides it's going to rain again. (*Knocks on wood.*)
 
Anyone else having issues uploading completed WUs for WCG? I have had 3 WUs that have refused to upload since this morning :wtf:
 
No issues here. Try resetting your router/modem/PC. It might help. (If you haven't done that already.)
 
I did all that earlier today and it did not help. Think they might just be bad units :(

Hmm in the messages window it says that upload servers are down for maintenance, ill just keep them there and see what they do.
 
Try going into transfers and highlight everything then click retry now.
They may have backed off there atempt for a few hours.

This happens from time to time, especially on Saturday nights.
 
After a good nights sleep its working for me again.
 
I will be buying my Athlon X2 5600 back from brandon sometime this week and should have her back up crunching by the following week. Yeeeeaaahhh!:toast:
 
Mine is back to normal now too, thanks for the info about Saturday nights Hammer :cool:
 
I had a few that were stuck on uploading...not sure if it was Saturday night or not. All I did was go to the transfers tab and click retry now. :)
 
I think my power supply on my 955 died and took out the hard drive.
testing with the supply from the i7 and it doesn't look good the mobo may be dead too.
wish me luck
