Found a way to kill time

[DogDragon]

I'm trying something I'm building a clear case, I do mean building.
I started with 4 pieces of plexiglass and a little trim, I've been getting
parts like LED lights, LED fans, hard drive,DVD, ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm 2
Ball CPU Cooler and all LED is Blue so the machine is going to be called
Blue Meanie. I hope to have it together by next weekend.
The reason I'm putting here( Folding@Home) is it's going to be the new home
for SM31. I did other improvements to him and it will all be posted
when I get him in his new home. Now Why I'm doing this, well all the SM rigs
are getting updates or retiring and I don't want SM31 to get retire.
I'm the Host so to me this is taken care of SM31 so when I'm done he will
look good and if he has to move down the road hopefully he'll look good enough
that someone would want to give him a home and IC won't retire him.
But till that day comes he will be enjoying the Florida living style,
with a whole new look. Pics will come too when he's gets back online and he's
not coming off line till I have everything so he should only be down for a
couple hours.
Well what you think?
Oh don't forget to check for the pics next Sunday:)

Ok, This is where I'm at first let me say this isn't as
easy as it looks. I got started today to put the mother board
in and roms, power suppy, fans, hard drive laser LEDs.
I still have a couple more things to do and finish the
trim. Than it will be time to fire this baby up and
put an OS on it.The pic is a little blurry, but I took
it with my phone. Better pics will come when it's up
and running. This is just an update

Ok, this bites :shakehead I brought the machine in from the shop and started to
hook the power, monitor ,mouse,key board, plugged it into the network.
Than I pushed the power button and nothing.:wtf::scratch:
I could see the Mother Board led was lit (that's good) so what's up:confused:
I unplugged it and start to check it out I checked the power button
it as in (hmmm..) ok, I started to check all my connection( there it is)
the 20 pin connection was lose.( last thing I checked)
Glad I found it:woowoo:( I didn't want to rip this all apart)
So all I can say is Check All Your Connections. Now to put windows
on it.(this went easy):) Now I have to get online, than do an OS update.
Put the anitvirus on download F@H and put it back on and started.
I still have trim work to do still but I wanted to get this up and
running again, So it's running and folding again.:)

The clear case is a good start but it's plain, I want to dress it up
