Look what I got today!

I wish that I had pictures.... My first clone was a 100 Mhz x486 running windows 3.1 in 1994 with 4 MB of RAM (YES MB)!! I remember upgrading it to Windows 95 and adding another 4 MB of RAM for $200!!! I also added a blazing fast 9600 bpt modem to replace that old 2400 at the same time. AOL was king of dial up!

been doing this a long time, so here is my list of personal rigs that I have built or modded for myself. No pics sadly. I currently have no way to host them.
1. PB 386dDX with 4 MB RAM and a VESA card. I added a Soundblaster to it for gaming.
2. GW 486DX with 8 MB of RAM and an S3 VGA card with the Soundblaster. Kept this one through Win 95
3. My first Pentium. A PB P233MX with 96 MB of RAM and an S3 Virge and two Voodoo2s in SLI. I had an AWE64 for sound and a USR 56k Hardware modem for Quake2 pwnage. This was the last one I had that was not built by me. All the subsequent ones I built myself. I got tired of modding/upgrading the brand name ones and just started building what I needed to start with.
4. My first Athlon. Athlon 550 OCed to 1ghz with a goldfinger and a GlobalWin HSF. It sported 256MB of RAM. I had several Geforces on this on, a Geforce256, a Geforce II GTS, and a GeforceIII TI-500. It had a Soundblaster Live! for its entire existence.
5. My next Athlon. A Socket A NF2 Mobo that went from a 1.2 GHZ chip all the way to a Barton 1.6. This one had 512MB of RAM. It had several vidcards in its lifetime. It started out with the Geforce III Ti-500 from the previous build, but I upgraded that to a Radeon 9500 and later to a Radeon 9800XT. I used (and loved) the Nvidia Soundstorm onboard audio for this one.
6. My first Athlon64. This one was an Athlon 64 3200 with the Radeon 9800XT from before. It has 1GB of RAM. It is still running in my mom's office. Great rig. No more soundstorm so I used a Soundblaster Audigy. I am still using that one today.
7. My next Athlon64 (sort of) The next one I built, I used a 939 Opteron with 2GB of RAM. It started out with a Geforce 7900GT, but I later upgraded that to a 8800GTS (512)
8. My current rig. This one is still a work in progress. Its a Phenom II X4 3.2 Ghz with 4GB of RAM. I am still using the 8800GTS, but that will be upgraded to a Radeon 6870 in a couple of weeks. I am also still using the Audigy, but I have an X-fi sitting here in the box. I just recased it today. Rigs 4-8 had previously used my highly customized Chieftec Dragon, but I decided I should get something a little less gaudy and much quieter. The 4 80mm and one 120mm fan were a bit loud on the Chieftec so today I replaced it with a Corsair Graphite T600. What a great case. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new case.

EDIT Ok, so I may not be able to directly host them, but I do have them on a Facebook Album, so here is a link. The New Corsair case replaced the older Chieftec Dragon today http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...0&l=b26a69a48b

Gumby, I REALLY like the new Corsair 600T case. I have been recommending it to anyone looking for a new case. It reminds me a bit of the Cooler Master Cosmos, a bit smaller, more refined, with better cable management. Looks great!

Since I got it, I have been recommending it to anyone who will listen, whether they are looking for a new case or not. I could not imagine cable management being any better. When I opened it up, my geek-enabled wife asked me how long the guts transplant was going to take. She knows that I am meticulous about case wiring and often take a lot of time and do-overs before I am satisfied with a wiring job. This thing took maybe 20 minutes and looks fantastic. Corsair has everything planned out. The part that took the longest was finding my long phillips screwdriver to put the mobo screws in around the ginormous HSF. Nice wiring is not the only thing great about this case, removable intake filters-including one for the PSU, 2x200mm and 1x120mm fans, 4 front USB 2.0, one front IEEE1394, one front USB 3.0, a built in fan controller, painted insides, super-sturdy construction, the best tool-less 5.25" bays I have ever seen, up to 6 internal drives, all tool-less and you can move the drive cages around if your video card is long. Simply amazing. Now for a window...
