New guts thread. Post dem guts.
>you will never know the amount of pain it is to cut old computer case sheet metal with a sawzall because you're out of dremel tips and need to graft in a power supply.
be glad you don't know.
why not just get a new computer case, you dumb, fucking brainless fag ?
>>51850586
>buy a new case
when I can get used, probably scratch&dent cases for free from a friend that does scrap metal for a living?
you simply must be joking.
also, sleeper machines are pretty neat if the case allows for ample airflow as this one does.
>>51850548
>casemodders who go through all this effort to destroy old hardware to fit new boards and don't properly populate the PCI slot covers when they're done
>>51850586
it's called being creative for once you dumb, fucking brainless sheep
aha a suh dude
>>51850548
>you will never know the amount of pain it is to cut old computer case ... to graft in a power supply
Actually I did it just a few days ago for this server build
Anon from before asking about cpu fan. I decided to get a new fan for 20 clans. Cheapest one they had. Finally finished re assembling the machine, with only 2 screws not in lol. Pretty good in that regard. It really was like lego. Now though, is the main thing. Lego doesnt burn up or break if you assemble it wrong. I looked up the motherboard manual and put in everything in its proper place, but i can never not have worry or doubt.
I doubt i can expect an accurate respinse from the pic attached, but does it look good?
>>51852305
On the bottom left, there's a floppy power cable going into something that might be a fan header. That probably shouldn't be there.
>>51852366
That cable was from the psu going into sys fan. That would rek the mb? Not a thing i followed, went and pluged in everything i could just to be sure
>>51850586
because OP case is actually pretty sexy.
I feel its a waste/annoying/confusing that, apparently, psus have more cable by default? Makes me feel something is not getting enough power.
>>51852442
yes it would wreck the MB, what do you expect to happen, it's a floppy power cable.
>>51852500
Did you not research a single thing before building your own PC?
>>51852133
old board was very dead.
>>51852228
>dat compaq case
aww yiss
>>51852442
Yeah that would have been a short circuit from the fan supply to ground. You don't want any more cables going from the power supply to the motherboard apart from the 24-pin on the right and the 4-pin at the top left.
I can't see any more obvious faults from that blurry mess and rats nest of cables.
>>51852524
I didnt actually, a freind told me what to get and he built it for 500-700 bucks i think
>>51852502
Yeah, my bad. I am new to pc making, literally just started with my main rig when it went into a on/off cycle
>>51852548
That looks neat and appealing
>>51852520
specs
>>51852548
what an odd case
I wish I knew what to do with the rest of the cables. Without the flash, my computer looks way sexier. This case was sort of a bitch to work with.
>>51852606
I think that looks okay. as long as those cables dont block that psu's fan then youre golden

Ah, there's the clearer pic I asked for last thread. Looks great! I love the minimal tubing look. Very cool.
>>51852606
Kawaii build anon. Specs and Case model?
>>51852606
Eh, not much you can do without going full retard and shortening the cables.
I prefer the C3 since it hides more of that shit, but after shipping it's a bit pricy for a HTPC.
>>51852539
It sure is an ugly case.
>>51852539
well in that case, I can't really shit on you for that.
still, fuck man keep an eye out for a gutted HP pavilion or some other shitbox of a similar vintage and steal the slot covers out, don't half-ass while you're ahead, it pays off in autism cred in the end

Thanks dude. It isn't much but I built this with low heat/ low cost in mind when it came to parts.
CPU never reaches over 50c even in intense gaming and GPU never goes above 48c.

Update, machine turns on but the same problem is there. I push the ob button, and it beeps rapidly becore shutting down, just to repeat the cycle again. It feels like a power issue, but its not. What else can it be? Would a disconected cd drive be the issue? i dont see how, it worked before without one
>>51852834
There's nothing on the screen when it does this? Check the manual for beep codes
(I have no idea what has happened earlier)
>>51852887
Short continuous beeps is power issue. The fuck
Both cables are in. I dont get it
>>51852153
suh dude
its been about 13 months since i cleaned it last.
or looked at it.
i probably should clean it tomorrow.
maybe tidy up the wires some.
4 years old and still truckin
>>51852962
Start disconnecting shit until it works. Unplug the drives, usb headers, graphics card, maybe even memory. If nothing helps then the motherboard is probably borked (or the PSU)
it goes
>inb4 didn't plug in power to gfx
This is the best pic I have and it was right before I finished
>>51853109
Heres what bugs me
Back in January, i bought a cd for a new album from a band i like. The cd drive did not open. So i figured the thing is broken. I remove it, and the cable it was attached to the mb. I plan to get a new one, but go on the web first. Or rather, i would if the thing dodnt turn on and off like it does now. Long story short i fix it by attaching the ribbon cable back in but not the cd drive, nut at the cost of a new bios screen start up, and reduced video game experince. I noticed it with tf2, and then dx hr, games i remembered felt a different way before that shit happened.
I am not going to touch this anymore. My friend is going to look at it, and hopefully fux it.
If not, can i attach the hard drive to a laptop and back up my shit?
>>51853229
>can i attach the hard drive to a laptop and back up my shit?
Probably not, few laptops have bays for extra drives. With some kind of USB-SATA adapter, sure
Or just hook it up to any desktop computer
Rate me bruhs
>>51853315
Good to know.
I wish console controlers felt good. Otherwise i wouldnt be in this mess
>>51853317
Post a picture of your computer and we will.
>>51853317
>not getting that extra 1MB onboard VRAM

What are the white cables?
I've seen them before disassembling pcs from the early 2000s
>>51853414
are you really that young? you know you have to be 18 to post on here.
>>51853516
I am 18
I need to get some custom cables. My management isn't too good.
>>51853342
thanks or all your posts. i feel better about myself after reading them.
>>51853692
how can you tell?
>>51852520
nice cooler :^)
>>51853229
You probably arent using the right ide cable, theres one with more smaller cables and probably has a blue tip. the blue tip one needs to go into the hard drive if the hard drive uses that cable
>>51854043
probably looks like this
>>51854054
Blue goes to mb, thats why the mb socket is often blue.
>>51854260

>not gentle breeze
Gigaboot really missed a great marketing opportunity with those SFF video cards.
>>51854260
i saw this last thread and couldn't figure out why it looked so familiar. That's a fucking Lepa case. Using the same one for my spare parts build. mah nigga.
>>51854318
>Gigaboot really missed a great marketing opportunity with those SFF video cards.
Agreed
and they should of mide the LED customize-able
it's dead set blue.
its also really quite, should of been called soft wind
>>51854397
Nah its a raidmax vortex 2
pic related
I just like the fact that you can hide the front fans and its got room for cables but it does look like a lepa case tho.
>>51854502
willing to bet it's the same case, just a different shell. got mine for 20 bucks.
Anyone have a piece of tech or anything in their PC that they ALWAYS carry from build to build? Mine would be my CPU cooler. Thermaltake Frio Extreme. Bought it for $90 from Microcenter when I was in a pinch. Handled my FX-6300 @ 4.9ghz, my FX-9370 @ 4.8ghz, and now my current i5-4690k @ 4.4ghz. It will soon handle my Zen based build. (whenever it fucking releases).
Also my Samsung 120gb 840 (non pro).
Until they're broken or otherwise unusable, I will cherish them always.
Older guts before I got my r9 390. This was my 290 with morpheous cooler. Capable of passively cooling an overvolted r9 290.
>Just been too lazy to move the cooler to my 390.
>>51852548
I like it, modern builds in classic cases always get my dick hard
>>51853053
weebshit
>>51853692
Nice but no airflow/10
Please excuse my potato-tier camera and the massive amounts of dust
>>51854736
I'm planning to remove the top right cage and put another fan there to improve airflow. I might put a 140mm Dan on top as another exhaust too, there's a lot of hot air there.
>>51850586
>engaging in a skill building activity
>"dumb, fucking brainless"
Obvious bait, but damn dude, did you get your BA in Shitposting?
Breh
>>51855218
You spent more on fans than I did on my entire system.
Has anyone got pics of an it case with the gpu facing upwards the same as the motherboard? Like having the rvzo1 gpu but flipped 180 degrees? I saw one ages ago on an itx thread but I haven't since.
Am I wrong for wanting to get an SGI case and put a modern computer in it?
They still look so badass and "super computer" in looks.
>>51855465
that case looks like a monster case looks good any inside pics?
>>51855465
Depends.
Old SGI and SUN/Sparc cases look awesome, but if you're removing perfectly good hardware to replace with your own than you should really safeguard it somewhere where it won't get damaged.
Also know that you're likely going to have to do a lot of drilling/cutting to get things like decent airflow or even the ability to mount aftermarket coolers since the mobo tray won't have holes in it and there won't be any places for fans.
>>51855543
That would all be worth it desu, family.
>>51855507
>>51850660
Ooh, so you're a poorfag. Gotcha.

Build in 2008 with a core2duo E8500 and a GTX8800 both replaced with current parts.
>>51855576
>>51855734
> Q6600
So fucking based for its time. Will go down in history as one of the longest running CPUs ever.
>>51855769
Up until last year i used the E8500, which i still believe is the best duo core cpu intel has made, but in 2015, 2 cores just doesnt cut it, so i moved to Q6600

IDE PATA ribbons for harddrives,
could connect up to two devices per cable as shown in: >>51854054
>>51859175
Finaly someone uses solid tubing. Overall 6/10 you need a better case to conceal some parts in there.
>>51861098
Yeah, I wanted to go m-atx and get a Hexgear R40 but couldnt get a hold of a Z77 motherboard before I moved. It was either this or a trashed Corsair 800D
