Summer Project

Well, this promises to be an interesting summer, and here’s why.

I bought this junk computer off a lady here in town and am going to turn it into a monstosity, in the good way that is.

I really want to take advantage of the computing power that is available with Intel’s new i7 chip. Plus I haven’t built a liquid cooled machine in a while, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Check out this monster tower.

Before


This is a Gateway 2000 P5-120. Anyone remember these? Anyone still HAVE one of these?

Pretty awesome case with LOTS of potential.

Here’s the stuff that was in it:

Including an EIDE controller!?!?!

So, I have some awesome ideas for this tower and what will go in it and some ideas for the design. Anyone care to share theirs?
