MKIV Continues...

I found a guy on the local classifieds selling a crappy looking tower for cheap.  But when I saw a pic of the inside I knew I HAD to have it.

 An ASUS PQ5 Pro Turbo?!
And a GeForce 9800?!














Got a killer deal on a complete PC with awesome components.  The guy said he had a few and was "just trying to get rid of them"

 I had it cleaned up and ready in no time.
 And the MkIV was torn all apart to make way for this gem.
It came together nicely.
 Ready to wire it all up


Assembled and functioning.











Another computer massacre complete.

I ran it this way for some time until I overwhelmed the powersupply with components and fans and it didn't want to work anymore.  I figured that if I need a new PSU I will be getting a nice modular one.  And so it currently sits, unused, waiting for that time, slowly assimilating components as other old computers roll in and out.  In fact, it actually got a CPU upgrade while it's been sitting: from a Core 2 Duo 2.8ghz to a 3.1ghz.  If only I could get my hands on a 3.0ghz Core 2 Quad...
