My new sff (56k=maybe)

[Nappo]

Well I just got this set up a few days ago and got my new cam just a few minutes ago so i decided to post pics!

Specs:

Biostar 200N
Athlon xp 2800+
2x512mb Mushkin PC-3500
9800xt
Lite-On 48/24/48/16 CD-R/DVD
80gb Maxtor 7200rpm 8mb cache
60gb Maxtor 7200rpm 8mb cache

I have some mods planned out for it. I'm going to put rectangle windows in the side panels and mount an lcd in the front. I'm also going to do a mirror finish of black on the side panels and have somthing written/a design on the top panel in silver. Along the lines of modding what do you think?

nice dude! i plan to buy a shuttle some day but then i realize that nice shuttles are 270+, and then the good ones usually require a intel p4, i have athlon xp 1700

this is the one I have, and it works great...also, I think you can get it for less than $250...I'm running a Barton 3000+ in it.

[silent]

where can you buy the floppy + cf/sd/mmc reader all in one 3.5" bay?

edit: nevermind, found a few on ebay

Mine is just a 200V. Was $181 shipped, and just has a 1700+ in it, and 2x256 PC2100. That XT is in my main rig, just wanted to see how it would run in there. Suprisingly, very fast for such a slow CPU. Its current card is a GF4 MX.

That looks awesome.

 

[Nappo]

thanks

Hmm, if only you could fit dual procs in an SFF

 

[ozziegn]

well, as long as were pimpin' our Biostars....

-but I'm the blacksheep of the group cuz mine's the 200T (as in P4 setup).

 

[jamezzz122]

I'm lovin' all the pics so far...

Am I the only one noticing this thread turning into a "Post pics of your Biostar" thread?

What is all of this hoopla about needing a 350W+ PSU to run a 9x00 card when I see you fellows with 9800 Pro's and XT's in your 200W SFF machines?

 

[ST|FFY]

you know what?

now thats a damn good question...

why do people say you need a 1.21 giga-watt P/S to run a P4 + 9800 Pro when people like myself are running our tiny systems with a 220 watt P/S?

damn good question.

you dont need the higher wattage, you have a small mobo with everything built on, aka lower power consumption, and a power videocar, one optical drive, one hard drive
