I just finished putting the mobo/psu and assorted things into the case. Note that you can still see the protective plastic overlay on parts of the case. I also upgraded the weak 300 watt HP psu to a 450 watt coolermaster real power. I fabbed a bracket in the empty media bay for the psu voltage meter. Also forgot to mention that the pc features wireless lan.

I hope this doesn't seem like spam, but I think this is a AWESOME idea! What better prize for a bunch of gammers then a new comp! Cooto's gentlemen! :notworthy:
-
Kudos **** :iamwithstupid:, put me down for 20 tickets lol
-
Not at all, GFH.
We wanted to make this lan special, and things like this make it so. With the procedes going back to the clan - it's a win/win situation. If we sell 50 chances, thats 500 dollars. Hell, I may buy a few and try and win this thing myself!
A few of us have been talking and events like these may happen more often if the turnout and feedback are positive.
-
seems like it is going to be a nice prize. put me down for about $100.00 worth. :headbang1:
-
Hell, you were just at my place an hour ago. It's pretty nice to say the least! Hope you win it...
I bought this new at circuit city less than a year ago. Date of purchase (still have the rec) 7-8-07 for $1,165.99. seven months ago
That same week I put an 8800 Ultra in it and a beefier psu. I used this set up till about a month ago and bought a new mobo/case. I took the C2Q 6600, memory and vid card for my new build and the rest hit the shelf in my basement. Kind of a waste on my part to have this stuff sit there and collect dust, so.....

-
sweetness , are we gonna be able to buy the tickets there or do we have to reserve? like in the above posts?
-
It's only for those attending the LAN I believe so my assumption would be to buy there

Added 80mm exhaust fan to rear of case. Moved HD cooler to second 5 1/4 slot and removed extra expansion bay cover. Now the temps on the cooler read out are visible. It looks factory too. Should have the cpu and dvd burner today. I'll throw up some more pix after it's completed. If I get time after the os install, I'll make sure CS is loaded and working.
-
I would really like to take this spot and thank leet for his generous contributions to the raffle... if it was not for him and rage this system would not be going home with a lucky person saturday... so on behalf of me and hitman smurf i want to say thank you.

Speaking of stupid, I lost the retention bracket that goes on the back of the mobo that holds the cpu heat sink/fan in place. I robbed the Thermaltake outta my game rig to get it running. Anyone got one of these "x" shaped brackets laying around? If not, I'm gonna have to order a new hs/fan for my game rig to the tune of 50 clams..
The bracket I need is for a stock socket 775 - looks kind of like this..

-
not one of those, but I think I still have my stock HS/Fan that came with my CPU.
-
All I need is the part that goes on the back of the mobo. I have a stock hs/fan, just missing that part to it.
-
see my stock HS/Fan never had a back plate.
-
This one has a coolermaster fan on it but looks stock. The corner pins are threaded on the ends, and go into the plate on the back. Worse comes to worse, I guess I can buy another.
:crybaby:
-
if you do just give me the reciept at lan
-
sorry l337 it'll turn up :)

Just an update on the raffle pc:
I have been playing on it most of the week, cs runs an average of 100 fps. It has cs:source with all of the gun game maps preloaded along with the special auto script I use for all of my buys and movement. TF2 is on, but I have not conected to our server to test it. All the winner need do is log in and play, it's ready to go!
All the other features work. I've tested out the wireless lan and it is as it should be. I'll also include the matching wireless kb and mouse. If you have a tv tuner card, this pc was originaly a media center pc so with the addition of a card - it would make a killer media center too. I'll try and remember to bring all the manuals and paperwork with it. I'll be retaining the recpt for tax purposes. I can write off 100% of all hardware and software.
:-D
