The 790FX Army Machine specs
ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe/WiFi AM2+/AM2 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard
All of the connections
Memory cooler is installed
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+ Windsor 3.2GHz 2 x 1MB L2
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit
PALiT NE/8800TXT302 GeForce 8800GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0
FEAR THE FROG
In the future it may go to 3 PALiT 3850 cards. For 150USD it's hard not to want that.(Also depends on if he learns how to spell all of his words in class)
Maxtor DiamondMax 21 STM3500630AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive -
Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 ATX12V
The Exos is installed for the water cooling. Old, still looks cool, and works.
CPU Block
MC-TDX for AM2 Processors
Now I need to get a copy of vista for him so I can lock him down more easily. On stuff he can and can not do with timers for shut downs.
Friends house, shitty camera phone"will update if needed"
Full out side view, side window is being made soon.
Painted the inside of the glass green, to get it a stealth Grren front. Still thinking about what to do about that hole. A nob maybe could be put in place there?
Painting on the back of this blue, makes it really dark, and slick looking.
As you can see, I forgot to paint the DVD ROM, and A drive. Plus a few scratches were made that need fixed.
Full shot of hardware in the case
Left side shot in the case
Right side shot in the case
The hoses come in from the top of the case, then hit a home-made converter from 1/4 to 1/2 in and out.
Ok now here is the fucked up part, with the exos you have to have a temp cable for it to work. I could not find it, looked for an hour or so. I desiced to use one from an old fan, and it does work. It just gives crazy readings. Normal weather in the room it seems to be 127F causeing the machine think a melt down was happening and beep like crazy.
I have now stuck it in a cup of ice, now water which keeps the temp read at bay, but it is still a crazy read out.
Yep Ice sure is cold today, Did hell freeze over?
