Reserator 1 Rox

Post by ~El~Jefe~ » Tue Apr 26, 2005 12:39 pm

I hooked up the whole thing, set up my board in a new case, have an antec phantom 350, 1 120 mm pabst fan on like 8volts...

3700BQE from Antec.

Holy cow, this thing is SILENT. I hear breathing louder than it. Finally, no more battles, at least till i replace the pump when itt gets noisier (not a biggie in my book)

Thanks all for input over the last few months, You made me spend hundreds of dollars!! :(

:D

I guess we know what you'll be silencing next :-D

You don't breathe through a scuba mouthpiece like a certain Sith Lord we know, do you? :-)

Yeah.....it was so much easier before I learned I had to spend so much money on fans, etc. but I suppose you could just search the gallery for some of the "ghetto" rigs, those have been done pretty cheaply :D

Yeah I know. I never spent a lot till this year on computing since 1985-6 when i bought my commodore 128.

that was a machine. I had 80 column mode where i could dial into IBM server things and do all sorts of cool stuff.

I had a commodore 128 too OMG! heheh. mine was a 128D :) i was programming on it when i was about 10 :D

i'm glad your setup works well for you, guess it goes to show how much the industry has learnt to appreciate the benefits of silence!

hmm can't remember if it had a fan.. but it did have the ability to convert to commodore 64 mode :) you typed 'GO64' at the prompt and then wallah! c64 :)

whoa, thats awesome. at command promp huh?

I think that the c128 you had to hold the commodore key down while powering up to get to 64 mode, I dont remember any way of doing it once booting into c128 mode.

There should have been more c128 games available. it had SOOoooo much more capabilities to utilize.
