Dumpster score!

Check out what I found in the dumpster at work

Once this crappy cold weather goes away, I'm gonna tear into it, and really try and make something unique. I also found in the dumpster an old PII DFI mobo, a PII processor, as well as half of another, another old case(completely shredded). and a crap load of random cables and junk.

I'm thinking bright red with some graphics, a window, and water cooling, plus a ton of lights.

I hope so. Those fans are only 92mm. but there IS a lot of room to play with.

That's a great idea! I wanted a red and white theme. Red bricks and white filler stuff

Aside from maybe the I/O ports that motherboard tray is ATX correct? That is one wickedly hefty case.

Yup. Standard ATX. I'll have some pics of the inside up in a few minutes.

Must weigh a ton

All the old large plate steel cases do.

David · 12-04-05, 03:27 PM

That case is ripe for modding

. Maybe even get two PCs in there....?

Silent water cooling would suffice for me

Vaio · 12-04-05, 03:50 PM

Those are Nidec Beta V fans, and that controller monitors temps and voltages, as well as controls the fans, all automatically.

Sjaak · 12-04-05, 04:08 PM

Nice

What do those fans push / how is the noise? And where is the temp sensor placed?

Lionsault_100 · 12-04-05, 04:13 PM

who would throw such a wonderful piece of machinery out ?

48CFM @ 34.8db

The temp sensor, asuming I am looking at the right part, is located in the far back corner (where the white wires are running to in the top down view).

damarble · 12-04-05, 04:35 PM

Lucky *******! I see many possibilities....

Nice place you work too. If I pulled something out of the dumpster I would be unemployed the next day. :/ (and yes there have been working computers thown out too)

Cjwinnit · 12-05-05, 07:55 AM

It wasn't our dumpster

The owner of the business I work at owns the whole strip, and rents the stores out. He doesn't provide dumpsters for any of them, so anything out there is fair game
