Can this be rig of the month?? it even has 2 power supplies! cus the one was only half working.. and the second one on the bottom has a power button that has to be held in place (hence the wooden stick). It only has 512mb of DDR 400 ram but thats because the motherboard doesn't like 2 sticks of ram (blue screen of death!) and its like Pentium 4 even 3GHz of single core madness! k so maybe not rig of the month then.. it does run windows 7 quite smoothly(ish) even though it almost uses all the ram just for windows. It needed 3 power cords (2 PSU's and the screen) so I "installed" a triple adapter to reduce that to one. Now what was the point?? well I have exams to study for so it was the perfect procrastination! =)









This is what my "puddle of computer" looked like before I built it so very neatly into the case..

Well, I think you certainly deserve some sort of award for that ...

That's hurts my eyes haha:)

Not sure if crying or lol'ing, would be appropriate.....But then again I love the modification of the drumstick....not exactly sure the purpose of it....but provided a good lol.....

Is that ...an IDE cable?

Nice double adapter

Suddenly "Old Faithful" (my P4 3.2 HT, socket 478) doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Thanks, you've just given me the inspiration to fire it up again...and then push it to the max

if you bring that to a LAN, I am going to unplug my pc

Eish.

+1 dude! id get a bucket of water and liquid cool that

I think this is either a troll, or RUChris was cryogenically frozen for a couple of years and woken up to find his PC still on the desk and remembered the PCF "Rig of the Moth" section.

I see IDE, AGP and a CRT monitor.

HAHAHAHAHA Just Hilarius!!

Sigh, ron can we change the topic to joke of the month...

OMW......I have seen some untidy and just plain odd PC's but that one takes the cake

AGP.....and the mobo even brags about it
IDE(ata 133)
DDR 400
5.1 ch sound......I have 2 mobos under my desk that have better sound then this


I know how you feel I went to a lan with a PC like that and was constantly mocked and that was 2008......oh and here it is(not in the condition it used to be in now that it is retired ):
2.8ghz P4
768mb DDR 2(had 2gb but I am using that so put some old ram in)
Nvidia 6800XT
80gb + 40gb hdd



I love the stick that is keeping the 2nd PSU turned on why not just fix the main PSU

I have had an idea. Why don't we make this thread a sticky and post pics of interesting rigs(not awesome trust fund pc's) in it and then at the end of the month we decide which rig is the strangest, most interesting or just plain ridiculous one and name it Rig Of the month or most epic fail rig....

Not a bad idea stig, but how many people have failed pc's to post up?

An old P4 with its cooler secured with elastic bands

And it actually stays on btw it looks as if you have almost exactly the same case as I had.
