Mine overheated when I first built it. Did pretty much the same thing, actually. Took one side panel off and pointed a fan at it. That went over reeeeeeal well with the roommates.  |

Originally posted by neotransotaku It falls over the other way, so no.... still got the CPU down to 38 degrees celcius... which is cold.... so the problem wasn't overheating. |

shouldn't the fan be the other way? so you can suck the hot air away from the CPU? |

Well, I was under the impression I had an overheating problem a while back...
This was my way of eliminating that as a possible cause of the problem...  |

Wow! That doesn't look good. 
What I would do is get some one to fit that in a case, or something. How that still works, I have no Idea. (Also I would keep pets away from that.) |

The one in my Win98 box doesn't seem to care, and it's pretty old. |

I thought you weren't supposed to run hard drives upside-down like that? Or do newer drives just not care?
Jeez, maybe I'm older than I thought... |

My roommate this past semester totally had a similar "bunch of components outside the case" setup. |

i should do that with a few old HD of mine...try to generate a head crash  |

Reminds me when my dad had to test a old HD on a computers. There were connectors for one, but proper place. So we had to put it outside the case while making sure it worked then I think we winded up ducktaping it somewhere.
Also, while one of the HD is writing something... try shaking it really hard. See if you can cause a head crash. (note, doing that is very fatal. It destroy the HD as it xD.) |

I'll see your open computer and raise you my Win98 testing box. Literally a computer in a cardboard box. HDD/CD/Floppy and power supply sit on the floor next to it. It has a video card, but I just control it with VNC. |

You have a case, everything might not be in it, but you have one, that puts your computer one peg above my MythTV, which is literally a stack of components by my TV. |

I'm sorry but I have to use this word.
ghetto This word describes that computer. |
| neotransotaku Posts: 915/1860 |
