Welp, like I stated in the "borg countdown" thread of this great forum I tried the NotFred diskless folding CD and wow was it easy to setup and monitor. The biggest reason everything went so smooth was because I read the instructions in the folding thread by EvilAlchemist. (many thanks Evil)
Now onto the topic of this thread (don't want the "Topic Police" after me ) I set up the diskless, monitorless, keyboardless, mouseless and almost everything else less folder out of some spare parts I had in my closet. I had everything but a case so I was using it bare (caseless). The componets are a E6420 cpu, a TT Big Typhoon, a PM900 Micro 775 mobo, one 512 MB stick of Super Talent PC6400 RAM, a POWER something 500W PSU and some 80 mm fans I had laying around
To make a long story short I was doing the trash detail and someone put an old Dell "OptiPlex GX1" desktop boxen beside the dumpster. Being the ever thrifty person I am, having a caseless folder foldin' away (mentioned above) and needing a case I snagged it. After removing the innards (mobo, floppy, no HD, 100w PSU, etc) I proceeded to get friendly again with my case mod tools (drill, nibler, rotary tool, hole saws, tin snips, etc) and start modifying it so hopefully it wouldn't look uglier than homemade soap.
It's still a work in progress so far (foldin' away bare though) and I'll post some pics when I get some 120mm Yate Loons from PTS so y'all can laugh your butts off or use the pics to get rid of any rats you might have. I ain't quite figured out how to mount the 120's yet, but you know us "anal about the temps" people, so I feel I need 120 mm fans.
Hey, this post can be about a "bastard" case for a diskless folder can't it? It kinda' reminds me of what they called the HD Sportser (a "bastard motorcycle") when I was riddin' many moons ago )
