how did you know? :eek:
I wouldn't be surprised if that's what HostCrocket was running on, and that some jackass with a baseball bat occasionally came and whacked a few of the drives with it

HA! That looks like a machine i had back at the U once. Well not exactly. But i've had a few machines with no cover. A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. If you can't afford a case what are you gonna to do, NOT use your computer? Riiiight. Atleast mine utilized a desk and bookcase fairly well.

probably wouldnt be a half bad setup if they would have just stapled a huge sheet of anti static to the board first.
And think of the cooling possibilities... no longer bound by the width limits of conventional cases, you could probably concoct a liquid cooling system bigger than the computer setup itself
I'm having trouble believing that a case was unaffordable when they've got 11 SCSI HD's pinned to that plywood...

i see no problems with that setup.
But why would you want to with a processor that's old enough to work with a motherboard that has SIMM sockets?
i didn't notice the simms slots, good one :D
Oh, yeah, it's some sort of socket 7. I laughed about this one with my IT guy. It's amazing. We had basically the same conversation as this one. :D

OMG, that's frickin hilarious. I've seen shoebox computers and such before, but that is just sad!

Sure it's not socket a? I have a socket a board that uses SIMMS...I even have an ISA slot that is being used! :eek2: ;)

for your dial up modem? :D
welcome to the '80s :headbang:
:D
Nope, not sure, but it looks to be the size of a socket 7. Besides, boards with both 72 pin and 168 pin were a hell of a lot more common on socket 7.
I'd never even heard of a socket A with 72 pin slots before.

you sure :eek: socket A cannot use simms as far as i know, need alot of em for the banks, prolly mean DIMMS, you mean SDRAM right? :D they're talking about the white slots on the board which have no modules in it, 72 pin simm slots, the 168pin DIMM slot is filled with a module there, prolly a socket 7 pentium board.

there is no way in hell they would have released a socket a board with simms. hell simms where already phased out when socket a came out. and shit imagine running an athlon with 128 mb simms....the would have been slower than a k6-2 with a 100 mhz bus.

10/25/02, 11:24am
No, they would not, i just remembered you Gato solo were looking for a DDR board with an isa slot, but went with the iwill KK266 right?
Gato_Solo
10/25/02, 11:25am
No. Couldn't find one locally, and didn't want to wait, so I got a Biostar, and I'm still using DIMMS. :(
Shit, Gato, I had to quote your reply, just to read it. Smartass. Last time I try to be nice pointing out an error on your part. :P

actually there are 12 scsi drives there. with room for 2 more. and redundant power supplies. This has got to be from host rocket.

Y'know, you guys are overlooking the obvious advantages of an installation like that.
1) When's the last time you saw a case with 12 drive bays?
2) SCSI drives run hot. This lets them run cooler, with more space between them for airflow.
3) Ease of maintainance.
4) Space savings
5) Ease of cleaning

6) You can staple memos to it as well.

That's what I do, too.
Just don't stumble anywhere near it...

That sure looks familiar! They were down again this evening. :(
How slow woudl a puter with SIMMS be?
whoreable
10/29/02, 09:14pm
550mhz k6-2 max....or maybe a p2....
actaully probaly a 333 as 550 runs a 100mhz bus....
SIMMs don't run synchronous with the FSB. My dad's K6-2 400 system has SIMM sockets in it.
whoreable
10/29/02, 09:51pm
well then 550 k6-3+ would probaly be the max then.
Justintime
10/30/02, 01:23am
Doubt you'd find a board with simms that would even boot a K6-3+.
whoreable
10/30/02, 10:47am
true but the possibility is there.
A lot of Socket 7 boards have SIMM sockets that can't always be used. To run a chip with a 100MHz bus, you still need the PC100 DIMMs, so the SIMM slots would have to be left open... but the same motherboard could accept a chip on a slower bus which would allow for SIMM usage.
*shrugs*
I have a cel 400

They could do something like this

hahahaha, SIMMS :o
Nice setup btw, is it really stood upright or is it the way the pic was taken :D

seems you went to alot of rouble to add such a big resivor that you still left that small tubing and wussy pump. that radiator is far from impressive either. you need an air conditioner radiator or something and at least some 1/2 inch tubing.

They need a big Heater Core and an Eheim 1060 (excessive GPH)
And BTW thats not my watercooling system. I don't have one (yet, I'm saving up: VIA Aqua 1300, DTEK Pro Core, Dangerden Maze3...)
not to mention they would need alot of Water Wetter
And actually the big radiator does help.
The CPU won't be able to warm up such a large water tank...
If the resivor was in a refriegerator it would be awesome!
