Looking good !!!!!
Hello all- I've been watching this thread for a few weeks now, and have finally completed my build.
I own two 900s now. The first was built in 2004 and contains the following:
Motherboard: Abit NF7-S v.2.0 (Perhaps the single greatest Socket A Motherboard ever produced)
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Overclocked to 2.2GHz (3200+ specs)
Memory: 2GB G. Skill PC3200 running at 203MHz (406MHz Dual Channel)
GPU: PNY GeForce 6600GT 128MB AGP 8X (Great card for it's time, but seriously showing its age now)
HDD: Western Digital HDDs throughout: 2x 80GB IDE for Boot and backup drives, 1x 200GB SATA for Storage and Page File and 1x SATA 500GB for games and applications
Optical: 2x Lite-On 20X DVDRW Drives
Cooler: Thermaltake Volcano 9
PSU: Thermaltake Purepower 420W
I was long overdue to move up to a modern rig.
Thanks to the amazing work I've seen in this thread, I was able to carefully plan my own mod of the case using all the great ideas I found here. Thanks to all who posted their hard work!
My mods are as follows:
Painted entire grey chassis flat black
Reversed HDD mod
Drilled motherboard tray for cable routing
Modified Sunbeam 6 Channel Rheobus to glow green instead of blue
Replaced stock Tricool blue fans with green ones
Profit!
I'm very happy with the results. I took a lot of pictures along the way, which I'll share in a (soon) future post. I need to resize my photos and load them onto my web server.
So again, thanks to everyone for sharing their work. Here's a couple preview shots...
