heh, I'll be moving into dorm rooms so I don't think I can get away with that, but after a few years when I get an apartment I think I'll really start to appreciate the quality of those puppies

 

[wizard james]

nice ..try moving somewere near the SE of calgary lol

well anyways u got some pictures yet? or is it even runing yet?

pics are on the way! a couple of days for the university to *test* my pc for viruses and set up my network account and then I'll have 'em up.

now that I have it, I'm a little suprised- for starters, cooler master are liars! take a look at the pictures of the centuruion 2, looks black, doesn't it? well guess what I found out today? it's not- infact, it is shiny silver aluminium! considering I spent extra on black cd and floppy drives, this is a major annoyance, but alas, there is nothing more I can do.

the second thing that was suprising(this time it was good, thank god) was that Memory Express, the guys that built my pc, installed the wrong power supply! I was going to get a antec truepower 480w, but they installed a trueblue with the sweet blue mob light. once they realized their mistake, they charged me for the origional power supply, but left the trueblue in, meaning I got the supply $20 cheaper! w00t!

OK, so here's my comp pics finally! Excuse the crappy digital pics, I borrowed my friends digital camera and it's not exactly the greatest

56K BEWARE! THESE IMAGES ARE BIG


Just your standard front view, so you can get a feel of the extreme coolness my case embodies. seriously, cooler master deserves more love for this case design


Here's a view of the general desk area- so you can see the rest of the setup you guys helped design


General view of the inside of the inside of the case, very boring and will remain so, as this case does not have a clear side panel to show off any internal goodies


and finally a general view of the back and side of the case. just because.
