The price on that link is non negotiable btw, as it is a very good deal.

Mr.Cookie

Nick you've just reminded me to tidy up my cabling when i have some free time

BTTT for you

DominicA

Great spec for the price, all it needs is a decent graphics card and you've got a really great system!!

Bumpster

I wouldn't have thought it possible to tidy the cables to that extent!
There must be a nack to it!? Just built a machine myself but the best I could do was tuck the IDE cables into a sapre 3.5" bay and cabel tie the power leads together. Your's looks 300% better than I managed though!

All that is required is patience and attention to detail. That one was a quick one really. I did the loops for minimum cable stress, as normally they would be straight drops with a lot of spiral wrap. When I really do a proper job on a complex machine, the cabling for everything can take close to a day to complete, if not more.....

Cheers for the comments guys,

Nick

P.S. Just noticed that I didn't mention the drive sizes. They are all 18.4 gigs each, even with identical platter sizes, all single platter drives too.

Hehe, hello once again mate

I think that Tuesday onwards is best for coming to see/collect the machine, as I am unbelievably busy for the next day or 2 it turns out

Would this be the third thing that you would have bought off me now? lol

There are 1 or 2 deliberating over this machine, but I would be happy to let you have her. I will let you know asap

Cheers,

Nick

nigelward

Yes, this would the be third item that has gone to the Ex-Mr Footlong Hardware Retirement Home .

top for footlong, builder of great machines - I should know ive had 2/3 done plus bought his uber air conditioned beast

P1Fanatic

Ok cheers. Ive just blown £250 on a new headunit for the car so think I will have to settle for just a new gfx card at this juncture. A pity as it looks like a beast.

Anyway thought Id let ya know.

Cheers,
Simon.

Tin, sorry to say that the machine is now sold. I know that you emailed me, but I didn't get those 2 mails until later on yesterday and needed to get things sorted asap as I am really busy sorting out before disappearing for a month. Nigel had emailed me too prior to posting up on here.

Sold.

Cheers,

Nick
