That looks really nice. Are you gonna put back the DFI mobo on there once you get it back, or has Epox taken it's place?
 
I am gonna keep the Epox, too dam much work to keep changing. I am gonna use the DFI Expert on the new build.

The Epox has a LOT of great features...(the only sucky thing is where they put the 24 pin power, lol )
 
Wasn't the new build supposed to be a LANBox of some sort? Or will it just be a mid-tower?
 
Oh...ok. Did you get my PM?
 
16 to 3s 2s and 1s...i have a feeling..
 
It's kind of obvious who wins. They shouldn't even have a Final Round since the Semi-Finals is being dominated by 13 votes.
 
nice on the wiring man!

What they mean is round 2 (this is the second contest)

and the 5 of us are the semi finalists

on fri they pick the winner(hope its me)

And thanks Drade. I have a habit of making things as simple as possible and it works.
 
Are you sure? It looks to me like theres another round.
 
They have a new contest every 3 mos. And if you dont win your comp continues on to the next contest.

its a great way to get interest in their product. I would have never bought a Ultra product if it wasent for the contest. And a few of you got the $9.99 power supplies and on and on.

I gave them some great ideas that would sell a LOT of these cases, I hope they listen...

One of my favorite ideas is the inside pieces, they should sell them seperate. The inside kits could be annodized in different colors so you could change the style. And annodizing is much nicer than paint (easier too)

and later on if you wanted a different color you could just order a new internal kit.

Same with the door, it just pops off. You could get the origional, mesh like mine or a thousand different patterns.

That way ANYONE could be a modder, the only tool you would need is a screwdriver (replace rivits with screws)
 
can you annodize stuff your self? cuz i dont think you can, you need to take it to a place, i was thinking about doing that i my whole case, getting some cool color
 
yeah but the problem with adonizing is if it gets scratched its done. although it would look frickin sweet. the air tube mark made is a awesome idea btw. reminds me of a wind tunnel.
 
Yes but it is very dangerous. You need a lot of Battery acid and other dangerous things. Its not worth it.

You could send it to me and I will do it, or you can call a local plater to you and ask for prices.

I worked for a plater for about a week, what a NASTY job.

If you had the pieces chromed that would look sweet with green lighting...

do you mean the 7600GS cards?

Because they have NO fans or noise, and only use 32watts of power and work very well..
 
or u could get x1900xtx and use internal crossfire
 
Good idea, that way I can throw my cooling tube, power supply and custom wiring in the garbage.

While im at it why dont I just get Phase Change cooling and one of those $1000 silent cases too. And my Opty isant good enough so I better get a conroe and new mobo and memory.

Hey wait my comp is a POS, now I need a whole new one...:nutkick:
 
what? lol i thought u were never sarcastic jk but anyways... i would say u can just put another psu in ur case and solder the power_on to the mobo and the pwr_ok to the mobo too then, u can just use the ultra psu for everything but the vid cards and the new one for x1900xt flashed to xtx in cf... great idea

if we were all rich, we would listen to your ideas more :p
 
i wish i was rich... my ideas would be not fantasy anymore then
 
The purpose of my builds is so EVERYBODY can do it. I dont use big machines or expensive tools either.

There a very few people who can get 7900GTX in SLI or 1900XTX in Crossfire, to them I say great job. They obviously have more than MOST of us.

Does that mean that we should just watch while they have fun? My Ultra Blue comp was cool for several reasons,
1- everyone can do it.
2- you can use a regular PS (mine cost $9.99)
3- it plays games just fine
4- its fast

I realise ur young rpg but not everyone can afford a X1900(or even wants one)

There is nothing wrong with making suggestions but next time think about what ur gonna say..
 
That's a awesome idea man, I hope Ultra starts making these.
