I'm looking for a 17" LCD to use with my X-QPack as a replacement for a laptop. Any suggestions?

Note to self: Fans work best when plugged in to a molex.

Hmmmm.. just noticed my case fan isn't turning on. Power supply fan is rocking, but case fan isn't doing anything. Need to figure that one out.

Currently running at 2.4GHz on 512 MB of Kingston HyperX PC2700 and 512MB of PC2700 ValueRam... Haven't tried higher.. I'm scared what good RAM is going to do when it finally arrives.

Lite-on DVD drive and an Enermax Liberty 500W from Newegg.. fits PERFECT! The Enermax also has modular power, so if you need fewer or more power cables you simply add them. Very nice for keeping the inside of the case clean/neat with good airflow.

Yeah, I simply wedged one of the probes into the heatsink and another between the hard drive and the case. It came on when I powered everything on. Which MB are you using?

I've hit a snag! I couldn't figure out why the RAM was only showing up at 1GB of RAM... Apparently Newegg shipped 2x512MB instead of 2x1GB of Patriot. I sent the 2x512 back with an RMA and they're going to replace it but I guess it'll be a little while before the new stuff arrives. Probably...

Poodlehead, run a couple of benchmarks at stock Opt165 speeds for games you regularly play. Then, bump the CPU speed up to 2.4 (EVERY Opty165 I've ever heard of has reached 2.4) Then parse and see how much better your frame rate is. If your new rate causes you to spooge your pants, keep going...

I wanna see performance numbers for a Voodoo 2!

Wow.. I'm so excited.. I hit F1 for continue and it continued! Haven't built a new system in like 3 years, could barely remember how to get it started. Its SOOOO easy!

Latest update: She's assembled! Boots to startup! Recognizes the drives! Guess I need to remember how to install an OS.. wonder if I can do it without having a floppy drive installed

As soon as I get it running! Hopefully the RAM will get here tomorrow. Currently I don't have any funky lighting for it but I might steel my cold LED out my other computer for starters.

Well, I need something small enough I can take it with me when I deploy, so a CRT is probably out of the question.

mmmmm.. putting everything together :) I pulled the original power supply (never used) out and put the Liberty in. With the Lite-on drive it fit with about an inch and a half to spare. The Zalmann fits with about a half inch to spare. I'm not quite sure where I'm going to put the...

I've got a spare Qpack I'm looking to get rid of if you want one. I think its silver. Probably $50 includes shipping?
