Not bad...the first few pics looked like you used some actual care and planning, then I saw that last one and the zip ties redeemed it for me. Very nice, but almost too niceSkil circular saw case that I pulled out of a dumpster and "fixed" with a dremel drill:
.This is not as ghetto but I find that my APC's run hot with my door close
I have that exact desk! I've been contemplating doing something similar, but to the back of the desk there.

Really? I've always thought of ghetto as extremely cheap but does it's purpose extremely well.
Don't know if I've posted this already, but I'm decomissioning my old file server & thought I'd take a pic;
Top drive is a 6.4GB Quantum Fireball, then a 20GB Maxtor I got free from a guy who was servicing the photocopier where I used to work (seems they replace the drives each service?!), then 2x 20GB Barracudas which probably both got pulled from old business desktops.

My new Archlinux box was completely non ghetto, but I soon noticed an annoying low-pitch reverberation/resonation. I discovered that pressing my toe against the left panel would cut it down drastically, so I stuck some of the packing foam that the components came in between the frame & the door. Works a treat & doesn't affect cooling!
Made a new case for my monowall setup, pretty ghetto but not ultra ghetto.
I got more pics in this thread.

I was talking with some friends yesterday about Getto-Modded stuff and they brought THIS laptop out to show me. I was so stunned I had to go out to my car and grab my camera for a few shots for this forum. They tell me it still runs XP just fine!
My syster's temporary build... "Ghetto a PC"l
Lol, Ghetto as in Get-her...
I built this last week, my sister needed a PC that would play movies because her friend was coming to stay the night and they wanted to watch lord of the rings (humf, go figure).
So I put this system together real quick...
Anyway, heres the system spec's:
Socket 370 1000Mhz PIII Toluando (or whatever that series is called)
ASUS TUV4X Mobo (excellent mobo for PIII's, btw)
An old ATI card
512MB RAM like 168 Pin I think...
20GB ATA HD
350W PSU
LITE-ON DVD Burner
Case: some card board box's
Heres a bunch of pics, very very ghetter, no screws... just zip ties and duck tape :top:
Enjoy!
Here it is on her desk
It's been running strong for over a week! No problems so far
Comments, laughs, "that's crazy" comments, "your nuts!" comments, "yuk!!" comments are all welcome!!
Thanks!

I was going to say, "you're going to burn your house down with your cardboard computer."
And the plywood desk is very classy.

My stock 6800gs was running at 120 F idle.
Took off the plastic hsf cover and zip tied a 5cm fan over the copper heatsink...
now it's 99 F idle

that doesn't look to ghetto, it does look very good indeed.
Smee, you deserve an award for your lovely cardboard PC. I thought it was plain ghetto until I saw the second box on top with the motherboard and then I knew you were a ghetto All-Star.
And after you receive your award you will receive a beating for making your cardboard PC.

Its better use then them sitting on my floor... Also the dual sound cards is because I can't remember which one is actually better, and I will likely have a hard time finding drivers for them, and don't want to take it apart to swap. Although its looking like the whole PC may be ditched anyway as I get needed parts for better systems.
