I recently received a pretty decent, fairly new HP desktop in exchange for some work. Not having a CLUE what else to do with it... I decided to turn it into a budget gaming rig for a friend. Dropped in a 4850 from the classifieds and a new power supply, paint, fans, etc.

I think it turned out SWEET. Let me know what yall think


Part 1

Looks pretty cool, I like the orange/black. The front needs a shroud though.

I like it. Very creative, And i like the open front look. Without the shroud you get an industrial effect(Heavy Duty). And That just sits it off. No shroud! I like it.
