ionicle's project 4000!

[ionicle_old]

Right well this thread is gonna be for my project, the ionicle 4000!

since i aint got the motherbord yet, i canot build it, i wil however show you pic's of the items that have arrived, but be warned the pic's aint the best of quality, however they are a significant imporovement on last time

heres the processor itself to quote fragtec, since i cant think of anythin to say bout it "mmmm deigo" lol, could say it better myself

and heres the graphics card

heres the case...i had to hotwire it to make the fans and lights work, so its a bit messy...

heres the ram, this is a bad pic, but its hard to take a pic of anything in plastic

heres the box, that the case came in...

thats all folks!

It'll get you by for a while

Maybe start saving for a 6600gt or something as that card will probably be a bit of a bottleneck. The GT's go dirt cheap on ebay sometimes

Sweet Ian - looking good to go

Digi-camntip: go further back and take the pic. Get lots of light, put the flash off and reduce the shutter time.

Then when you have it on your PC: cut the part you need (i.e: processor box) and resize it accordingly (800 x 600 is good). The n your pics will be clearer. A steady hand helps (or tripod).

Other than that - Diego goodness: Rock on!!! :worship:

Sweet Ian - should be rocking with a 7800GT!! You'll have to actually get some decent games then. Hey - I'll send you Halo or something to get you into it

i alredy got halo trial that should be good, but then agen, that works fine on my 9800pro lol

But remember, the 6600 Vanilla offers worse performance than the 98Pro, and you can't really OC unless you get an aftermarket cooler .

EDIT: Oh yeah!! You have a Side Panel 80MM that blows across the video card, and you can ziptie the 60MM from your old AMD too it like you mentioned Ionicle. Look's like your all set!

Very nice ionicle, you should be up and flying real soon
