There, its finished..

Post by Puppas »

FINALLY !

I finished my second BP6 system today, and it feels good =)

I stumbled across an Aopen Hq08 the other day, and it was awful...Someone had done a paint job, or atleast tried to =)
And i thought that it would be ideal to house my second BP6, and it would also be cool to have to identical systems, in identical housings..

So i bought it of course and began to work my magic fingers ( :roll: ) and this is what i came up with..

For those of you with a keen eye....
Yes, it is a modded 3Com hub that is modded and fitted into the shiny Hq right below the ethernet card....

Heh, I see a blue keyboard in your other pics, running on your other rig. I am making a guess that it was in fact you who botched the original paint job!!! No offense meant, just playing detective.

Nice BP6s btw...

Oh and I just got another dual 366/v1.0 bp6 combo, it came with 384MB ram and some nice globalwin hsfs also. Oh and a promise ultra66 card. woohoo! Hmm, I better check and see how my rma status is progressing.

Thanks for the details...When I saw that it was really bugging me to know what it was.

btw...cool case both.
There are *almost* no bad BP6s. There are mostly bad caps.

headseed,
Im just curious.
According to your SIG you are running 366 and 400s at 92FSB. Have you tried the 366s at 99(or 100) and the 400s at 96fsb just to see what happens. Maybe you are needing such a level of stability that it is necessary to UNDERCLOCK your PCI/AGP cards.

if you manage to find one of the later versions of the case, they also come (sometimes) with a twin 4 or 6 cm exhaust holes already installed above the kb/mouse area on the back. very nice looking, and ideal for the dual cpu air extraction

I just never updated my sig. I am running a VP6 now, and have all the BP6s on hold, I am waiting for my two antec psus to get back from RMA. I did have the 366s at 550 ( I have 4 366s), but the 400s wouldn't go above 92fsb at all, at least on the board I tried them on. When my new board gets here (tomorrow, thanks Abit!) then I'll try them maybe, if I gots a psu somewhere around here.
