    Perched on the edge of a desk in a box doesn't seem like a brilliant way to use a PC. Cases are cheap y'know.

    Re: without a case

    But as he said in the original post -he has a case on order - it just hasn't arrived yet.

    I should add to my 'static post' that although I said that static is a high voltage/low currant phenomenon, that is only really true domestically. It is possible to build relatively machines that will deliver relatively highcurrents, and of course lightening is a very high current discharge - but if your mobo is hit by lightening, it's survivability is probably not uppermost in your mind at the tgime!

    Re: without a case

    I've got a case for it - Lian Li Plus 7 in black but I haven't got around to building it yet because Im very lazy and worried it wont work once built, also get cooler temps with it out the case.

    To resize pictures you can do it in paint, or if you upload them to imageshack there is an option to resize there. I think in paint its called stretch and skew or similar.

    Re: without a case

    cool

    I wonder if using 1 of those sharkoon USB jump starts will work so you don't have to keep shorting the pins to power the PC?

    Nice, I forgot totally about system specs on this forum. Havent browsed this forum for since 2005 (until a few weeks ago) and on an Overclockers forum based in the UK I havent seen it. Im not sure I can mention the name of that forum but Im sure everyone knows the one I mean as on their forum if you write 'hexus.net' it stars out Hexus :|

    Weird weird place over there, much nicer here with better members.
