well, you wrote that at the same time I was making my post.. so I guess that answers my question!

heh, I forgot about that.. I never ended up building it. That was after I got sick of lugging around that gigantic Lian Li server case with double power supplies and peltier cooling. I did put Rhinoceros3D on my resume when I applied for my current job though. Now I do big industrial CAD...

I fall of the face of the Earth for 6 years, and you made this? Pretty cool! I actually would love a small case for the living room htpc - currently have a cheap/ugly full atx taking up a ton of space. The kids have hammered on it too, the door broke off years ago and the power switch is...

Whats up? :) I havent been on here since 2007....

Anyone ever have the problem of the catalyst drivers disabling agp? I've gotten it to work twice as long as I've had the card, but it gets broken every time I upgrade the drivers. right now it's forced into PCI mode, and yeah I know its not exactly the fastest on the block but it totally kills...

ahh, old skool intel overclocking... your celeron is a socket 370, and those tend to be fairly decent overclockers (for the time). as far as volt modding, try and find the intel spec sheets (if they are still around) for the P3/socket 370. if you know anything about electronics you should...

My stuff is old, but % wise I'm matched up. got 500mhz out of a Tualatin 1ghz air cooled :)

I don't think this mod is worth it.. I've done the same thing to my 9600pro, and it made no difference to my overclock.. modding my card was fun and it looks cool, but that's about it.. ;)

For a simple pentagram "projected" onto the window, you could have a second peice of lexan behind the dusty window, with a simple etching of the pentagramn (you can do it with any printer and a dremel) and a red LED. the LED goes on the edge of the lexan, and will reflect off the etched peice...

Been trying to push this thing a little so I don't have to play Doom3 at it's lowest settings, but I'm having some trouble. I'm using 3dmark 2k1 as a stability test and to check my progress, but even at stock speeds I'm getting clipping artifacts. if I overclock (even 4mhz!), it makes it a...

I hope there's more content.. if I have to play de_dust again using the same old models I'll be pretty annoyed!

it's not worth paying somebody to repair it.. a ti4200 is pretty outdated. I have a fried Ti4200 128mb with good capacitors on it (bad memory), but I'm not sure that I want to spend $25 on another broken one (not sure if the caps are the same anyway).

what kind of artifacts are you getting? I have a 9600 pro that is getting clipping artifacts in 3dmark2001 (I'm just playing with the card so I haven't put any new games in). I'm using the newest drivers from ATI. overclocking the memory makes it worse for some reason, but I get no snow or...

asus boards tend to come with "hold my hand" bioses that won't let you hurt the machine. things like not letting you select higher voltages, memory timings, etc, or bringing timings down if you go past a certain FSB. I don't think I'd ever buy a new Asus board unless it was for a stock...

some great stories here.. who'd think hardware tuners could make such stupid mistakes? :p some of the foolish stuff I've done includes watercooling. the most disasterous was when I hosed the back of my motherboard down by accident (a huge ass Tyan S1836). It didn't hurt it (I let it dry...
