That's the stupid intrustion switch on the case. Don't want to bother with that. I will tuck it away in a few.

You can use a Overclocking program to underclock your graphics card and raise the bus speed, I have done this before but I have never had a reason to keep it that way. :lol:


My vid card bios is locked as far as overclocking. I haven't tried underclocking. What is the relationship between PCI-E speed and core clock/ memory? In other words what would a 20mhz PCI-E increase due to both. Others have somehow unlocked the bios and OCed the card. There is some headroom. ;)

Nice build Chriso! I admire your tase in hardware! :)

Yeah yeah yeah, laugh it up. I know it isn't pretty. However, what you can't see in the picture is the four other machines, a scanner, and two printers that are in that room. Lots and lots of cables!! :lol:

After all the comments, I had to go back to the photo and see the job under the desk and was greatly surprised. Not by the ah, er, uh "job" of under the desk cable management but by seeing my own picture in Skype on the desktop. How nice...talker. :chriso: :smoke:

Well, I am still working on getting the loose ends tied up. I just added some pretty lights to make it a little more attractive and to bring out the kid in us all. Here are some short movies and one picture for your enjoyment!!

Attached Image: IMG_0126.JPG

Well, can't get the movies because they are to big. But Dave is working on them for me and hopefully will have them up in the near future. All in all, they look pretty cool I think!! :)
There are like 7 different settings but that would be way to many movies to upload so I just gave you a taste of a few of them.
