It's mine
just recently won a "computer showoff" contest thing at school .. and at the time the damn thing wouldnt even boot, hard drive might as well had a hole in it. It runs suprisingly cool though, cooled by an 80mm "blowhole" and a 120mm on the bottom. Makes a LOT of noise. its its a AMD-K6 333mhz lol 192 mb of RAM.. usually has either Windows 2000 on it, or sometimes I put FreeBSD on it, (with the devil mascot as the wallpaper
). I'm planning to make another this summer, a little bit neater, and I might put useable hardware in it too. I'm trying to find some newer pictures of it, because its changed a little since those pictures. I painted the inside candy apple red being the most visible difference. I'll back with photos...

on the lcd screen idea... i DID briefly consider that because i have a few laptop lcd's laying around, but i looked into the hardware required to get them to work with that pc, and it was insanely pricey, cheaper to buy a lcd ready-to-go and i really didnt wanna put much money into it, actually, i have a little over 2 dollars invested in that case, without labor of course lol
