Interestingly, a year ago, I had the same thing happen to a replacement iPod battery. It expanded up to almost an inch thick and popped the back off the iPod, but it did not explode. I was kind of scared of it.

I don't think that Acer made Macintoshes, but I guess I could be wrong. :rolleyes: Like I said, it has trouble booting into Windows. I'll see what happens if I uninstall iTunes and the iPod software.

Any new ideas, guys?

I mean, this was my first guess too. It is set to boot from the main HD, and it does so for the most part, it just seems to hang and loop on the XP loading screen.

Uh, no. It used to boot up just fine without the iPod. This seems to be a fairly recent problem, but I haven't changed any settings recently.

I have an Acer 8200 Core Duo laptop that won't boot up unless my 5g iPod is plugged in. I'm running XP Pro SP2, and it hangs on the Windows loading screen. Any suggestions, short of reinstalling windows? I'll also point out that it is not set to boot from the iPod, and that it starts up...

I already tried reseating the card, and booting it without the card. What worries me is that when I try to boot the system with no card at all, there are no error/beep codes like I would expect.

So I was up in my room playing some games (I have the flu) and my PC froze up, and developed some wierd red dotted vertical lines all over the screen. Since it was frozen, I tried hard rebooting it and when I did so the bootscreen had the same corruption and was all kinds of fucked up. So I...

I'm actually pretty sure that someone on these forums has modded those waterblocks to do SLI. He just plugged one of the barbs, and drilled new holes on the bottom/top of each block, so that when he installed them in SLI, the output of 1 lined up exactly with the input of the other. It was...

April Fools Joke Yeah, that had me going for a second. I'm really looking forward to that game.

That's sweet dude. I know that I'm impressed. Great job!

I don't have it, not only because I'm worried about it borking my computer, but my schools firewall and virus protection is really quite good. I'm planning on getting it installed when I stop being so cheap, and get another hard drive to copy everything to just in case.

Just put Bright Eyes stickers all over it. That'll really make it emo. ;)

Not only is it in a waffle box, the PSU is free floating, and it's a ghetto fabulous Pentium Pro! Tight!

Thats some [H]ard core thick aluminum plate. Dyaaaammnnn! :eek:

The color and corrugated plastic make me think of the original fruit iMac. I love the fact that it's 2 cases welded (I assume) together. That thing must be massive. 's nice though! :D

Oh yeah, and I did end up getting a KVM switch. Works fine and dandy. :D

Just as an update, I'm in the midst of building a 'case' for it. I know it won't be as ghetto, but at least it'll be moveable. I'll put of the pictures when I finish it. Don't worry. It'll be ghetto too. BTW, way to bring up a long dead thread ;) .

That looks a lot like the EBuyer case I bought for like 6 bucks on the inside. Seriously.

Uh. At what time? I'm talking about buying one now. BTW, my budget is around $60.

I need to buy a KVM switch that'll work with my USB MX500 and my PS/2 multimedia keyboard. I need a kvm switch that'll maintain monitor quality, and not lag in games. I was looking at this one. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-107-247&depa=0 Any advice that you...

Not only is this mod amusing as hell, the screensaver is too! :p

That's hot. Your sister's computer, I mean. It's such a huge improvement over what it was before. I'm a big fan of the stripes too!

That's sexy dude. Love it! Great job! :D

This mod just gets better and better. The dremeling is top notch, and the bondo is worth drooling over. Great job dude. :D

For the external case, see you you can find an external SATA header. It's not an official format, but I've seen them here and there. I beleive that they just use a regular SATA cable too. Might be useful?

Remember, that the Mac Mini is practically useless without a ram upgrade to 512mb. Quote: As I've sternly recommended before, do not purchase the Mac mini with 256MB of memory - 512MB is not only the sweet spot, but it's absolutely necessary. Source...

Me, I'm sick of Fed-Ex. I ordered an antique radio off of e-bay, and when it was delivered, the fed-ex delivery lady DROPPED it off the back of the truck, snapping the wooden frame. Of course they refused to honor my insurance claim. Buggers :mad: !

Lookin' a lot better already! Good luck on your first mod dude! :D

Hulk SMASH! Gooooooood.... I like, I like. :)

Remember thermal grease in between your HS and processor? Are you sure it's making good contact? Thats always a good thing to check. Hopefully you didn't crack the core or anything. Maybe your motherboard is shot. Do you have another one around to test the stuff on?

I took a switch from an old AT case I had laying around and used that. Works just fine and dandy! :D

Just updated my post with screenshots of my first ever linux install. Took just 15 minutes to pop my linux cherry. :p

Teh uber schweet! Hahaha. We should make a "Post your Caseless Rig" stickey! That'd be [H]awt, what with all the hot buttered ghetto-fabulousness and all. ...

Yeah, so I have most of the parts for a mod I have planned, but I cant start on it until I go home for a month. Therefore, in order not to have all this hardware sitting around doing nothing, I decided to test everything out, get it running, etc, etc. Unfortunately, I don't have any cases...

This mod is getting better and better. Good job dude!

I would really like an Antec 350-380, maybe S, BUUUUMP. And I really cant afford more than the 30-35!

Bump time! And also, why is it that older PSU's have alot lower ratings on the +12v, than on newer ones? P4's use 12v, don't they?
