Looks nice ! Could you post some pics of that nice hardware

[SpiralDragon]

i will post some pics when i get a digtal cam.. which should be soon...

my previous post saying that i would be asembling the machine 14th March 2005 is wrong.... we had lots of delays and missinformation about the parts... we got the parts for the audio machin on 14th March 2005... which is minor in comparison.... but today.... we assembled the machine ... finaly.... looks cool.... heavy... internal heat @ 47~c CPU 1 & 2 Heat @ 36~c more or less....

its a shame we are working on 17" monitors instead of 21" though...


I WANT TO BENCH THIS THING... can someone please sugest how i go about that.... i want to bechmark the mem... HD IO... graphics for Video and 3D cad especialy OGL performance... and overall system... sujestions are welcome....

SD, for raw CPU and MEM performance, I must advise running CPDN. See Distributed@MURC for details. (OK, could not resist, I'd say CPDN is good for benchmarking a mobile phone as well )
