Some good preventative info As soon as you get your system up and running, get a copy of Norton Goback by Symantec. (I think that's what they still call it these days) You can get it pretty cheap and it is a lifesaver. I thought it was just a regular backup utility, but that is actually Norton...

That's what I'm talkin 'bout Awesome job! I never even thought about laser etching. If those had been stickers, you would have gotten reamed by everyone here. Instead, the etching looks classy and professional. Very impressed. It looks like all those companies are actually sponsoring your rig...

I appreciate your honesty. Don't worry, I won't vote you down for constuctive criticism. This is info I could actually use. I do plan on getting a newer case with more room (like a stacker 830) and I do agree that the wiring (to put it mildly) needs some work. Keep watching and I should have it...

They know that you're going to be sitting close to the screen, so the curve follows your natural peripheral vision, thus producing less strain on your eyes. If the monitor were flat like a plasma tv you'd have on your wall, sitting close to it would not only strain your eyes, but your neck as...

great rig So I take it your faith is restored in AMD? I also have a 5000BE and couldn't be more impressed. I like your machine's specs and the look is nice and clean. I myself need to move into something bigger and really need to work on cable management. So since yours looks better right now I...

or were you talking about the stacker

I don't see a pic, can you resend it?

Thanks And I do wanna say thanks for the constructive criticsm. Does anyone have any idea on new cases. I know I mentioned wanting a Stacker (who wouldn't) but the main thing I'm looking for something in a full tower/server chassis with a removable motherboard tray and plenty of fan slots (I'm...

I guess I guess you're right Paulie. My bad. No harm in talking a little smack, right? "What a piece of junk!" -Skywalker "She's got it where it counts kid." -Solo

I do need a better camera, I'll try to clean up the wiring and take a few cleaner pics. I will say that I do agree that the case (stickers especially) needs to go. I think I may upgrade to a Stacker series around tax time....But that's after a Macbook Pro

There is no need to be rude. I did say it was a work in progress.

Ouch!!!!! Daddy Likey!!!!!!

Don't go with Phenom.....yet I know it looks tempting, but I don't think think the phenom is a good choice as of yet. I have a buddy who bought one and the performance improvement was not drastic enough to justify how much he spent. I would suggest getting the chip i just got, an X2 5000 Black...

Pretty Nice Machine and specs. I myself am not an intel fan. how does the newer viper case hold up? I have the older version and love it. the newer ones looked like they had too much plastic for me. Nice machine tho!

To view this case mod, go here. Specs: AMD Athlon X2 5000 BE OC'd from 2.6 to 3.15Ghz 2 GB Corsair XMS2 PC2 6400 Asus M2N SLI Deluxe 2 nVidia 7600 GS 512 MB 500 GB SATA HDD (in) 160 GB IDE (in) 80 GB IDE (in) 500 GB & 60 GB (out) 19 inch Westinghouse Widescreen (16:10) 19 inch Hanns G...
