Project: the future is back

[icdpride]

Hi everybody at pc apex this will be my 3rd work log but the first one i will truly have time to complete (knock on wood)
this mod will be the revamping of a messed up mod and it got tossed to the way side but its back

purpose: make a gaming server

what i got :
1 torn up server case
1 754 3200+
1 abit fatality mobo
1 gig pqi turbo ddr 400
1 pci-e ati x800
5 scic hd matched
1 Koolance EXOS + Waterblocks
1 Adaptec ASC-39160 / DELL Ultra 160 SCSI Controller
1 Viewsonic vg171 17" lcd monitor

sides and top

case without exo shell

case put together

the idea is to put a flux capacitor in the window like so:

(sorry paint+laptop touch pad= bad image)

then paint all but the front panel the steel color then put the dmc logo on the front and make like a car grill and paint dmc on the side of the case in chrome outlined in black

[icdpride]

step 1 : get rid of nasty paint and polish her up

end resault is:

step two: build flux capasitor

step three: make it go 88mph for time travel

just encountered a problem with my build the scis controller that i've got isn't pci its like 2 pci slots bacwards like this ( i think its mci or pci-x)

will this work and if not know where i can get a pci scis controller that will handle 5 drives and is some what cheap like 30 and below

well here are the other componets

Flux capacitor? Cool.

Keeping an eye on this one, I like the the back To The Future films (and how cool is the DeLorean?).

Brilliant idea dude, looking forward to it! But the flux capacitor in the movies was a lot smaller than that...

I think that card is eISA.

I don't know what is up with that SCSI card but I have the strangest setup in my two servers. There are two types of normal PCI that I know of. PCI 32/33 and PCI 64/33. The 32/33 is the normal setup that everyone knows. the 64/33 has an extention for more connections at the end of it. (Yours is not 64/33 I don't know what it is. However the SCSI adaptora in stalled in the computers are 64/33 cards and have the extra connections. For some reason though they are installed in the 32/33 PCI slots and not the 64/33 slots on the motherboard. I have two identicle systems set up this way from the factory and both work fine. Not sure if that info helps at all but I can post a picture later if you want.
