It was ok, but too dusty. Open it up to remove dust.
CCFL somehow fell, hot glue sucks for keeping those in place.
Can't find silicon, so no lighting.
Then I finally realize that the HDD clicking noise only happens when my eSATA drive is on the Jmicron JMB363 eSATA controller, works fine on internal Intel ICH9 SATA or with eSATA bracket in ICH9. I'll have to re-route the eSATA bracket cable soon.
Then I have to find a place for the CCFL inverter. And glue back the CCFL. And clean the dust and fingerprints. And tie-wrap the cables. And by that time, I will likely buy something new. It's a never ending story. :P

Good try, but that's a terrible excuse not to take some pictures and answer a couple questions to get your rig featured on the front page of the interwebs

The last system was a torture rack,, yours that is. Tomorrow after I have DDR3 I will not reject any offers, but I don't think they'll do two Torture Racks in a row.. Someone around here has to have a kick ass box they just have not shown us yet....

For the most part, what pisses me off is that the E8400@4ghz only scores a 5.8 on the vista scoring base. My Quad-core Xeon did 5.9 at like stock speeds. It'd very tempting to drop in my Xeon. I like the fact of a 4ghz CPU though... There's no question the E8400 is smoother in certain games because of the higher frequency.

This is my personal system right now. I still have a few things to finish up, and still use it for some testing....but its my 24/7 personal system.

What exactly did you use for fluid to get that nice red color? That's exactly the sort of look I'm looking for...
