Lunar Pages I've been with Lunarpages since January for my website and have been really happy. The bandwidth and space is almost impossible to use with a normal website. They have a great utillity for automatically installing php website utils that allow me to have my site up quickly. The...

I have a few fans I ripped from Motherboards. I didn't put one in becuase they are rated for 12v and I only have 5v in the hub.

I was tearing apart a old hub and thought the inside looked pretty cool, so I decided to mod it. Damn, those are some big heatsinks I took some time and laid out where I want to put the window. It required some thought becuase the case has supports I needed to watch out...

I decided to repaint an old case for my parents. It look pretty bad when I first started but after some work sanding and a few tricks it looks really great. Before: After: The hard part: I wrote a few pages about painting it over here. Tell me what you think about it...
