Selling off stuff I've packrated hoping to use it again to help finance the HTPC I'm putting together, most of which is from my old Compaq 2105us whos mainboard faithfully bit the big one weeks after the warranty expired. 2x 256mb pc2100 samsung cl2.5 modules, $30 a peice + shipping or $60...

heh... i remember having my k6-III and k6-3+'s in this *huge* full tower. http://img.s10forum.com/album219/aal.jpg here's the only picture i could find of the board. i've got one laying around that's got that board inside the huge case but not handy and uploaded. this was shortly before...

I layed a metal plate into the bottom, used long threaded standoffs, and bolted them thru the bottom of the case. As for making everything fit, I just moved stuff around before doing any cutting and mounting untill it all fit in. It helps to have a cheapie case you no longer need, as you can...

Quite definitely a mobile. btw for the person who wants to slap a desktop chip in, you don't want to do this, i don't think the lappy will handle the heat. + it's an utter PITA to get it apart and back together, hundreds of small peices and screws that have to go back together just so. i...

w3rd... i've seen cheap cases that didn't line up to standard screw patterns, had to get out the drill.

i used to have a celeron 667 that did just fine and then some. I would overclock the snot out of it too, but that's just me.

heh... i work in the print and mail business too. you'd be suprised just how big industrial versions of common office equipment can get.

w3rd. I didn't even wanna sink more money in this, was gonna stay with my celeron 667, but I got a dvd-r for christmas an wanted to max it out for some video editing, then the mainboard fried and I had to replace that.
