here you go

I've replaced the crappy looking box and just use that for parts now, i seen this really cool file cabinet that someone turned into a rack server and would like to do something like that in the future.

still_learning, you need to copy the complete code, you copied only the thumbnail one...

AMD XP2500+
2 GB RAM with passive heatsink coolers
Nvidia 7900GS g-card
80 GB + 500 GB IDE HDDs

This is the comp that I build. I some times refer to it as a server because it runs 24/7.

I have now painted the CD-ROM black. Maybe I should call this comp, "black beauty."

Here is a pic of my so called server room. I have fitted the comp with two monitors.

Finally this is my messy workstation. I took this picture of it in candle light so the mess around it does not stand out!

I will have to take another picture.. i've updated it since then and cant seem to get the BBcode right.. its eaither a really big picture or a thumbnail

nice pictures, im still digging the fileing cabinet as a home made rack server idea

i've heard their is a way to hook up a bunch of mother boards together to make a super computer, need to look into it more

To build a rackmount out of a file cabinet would not be too hard, you can disassemble the computer chassis so it can fit into a 'drawer'. The rackmount idea is just that - each computer will occupy a rack. A super computer is just the rackmount computers tied together for distributed computing see:

The specs of my above mentioned box are rather modest because it was never meant to be any thing other than a server. So it runs on:

Intel Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60Ghz
1GB of RAM
GeForce 8400 GS
One 500GB SATA HD for storage, one 250 GB SATA HD that runs my os and another 150 GB SATA for future use

ok here you go.. newer pics

yes i know its a mess.. i have all the books on the floor because the weight of all those books broke the stand i had on the wall that was holding them. I have another shelf of books that has not broken yet

I learned the hard way it only holds about 40 pounds on each shelf. Under the books is a bluesocket gateway server i fixed with the help of some Suck-o members a while back, have not put it in use for a minute now but it runs Ubuntu LAMP server. I learned alot by trying to fix it and their are alot of good parts in it still.

DNR style desktop shot .. thats my other PC, i used as a server for a while, kind of like my testbox / crap pc that i dont care what happens to it. The thing on top.. well thats my baby, i guess thats what you can call "physical security" lol

last but not least, just a quick snap shot of the two monitors i stare at all day until i get a real job, theres probuly 3 other PC's or more i manage in my house also not pictured.

my main PC has a 160 GB HD, also not pictured is my 320GB external western digital my book i use for back up, has 2 GB DDR2 ram, AMD dual core 4000+ processor, lightscribe DVD/CD burner (which i would never recommend lightscribe sucks) its very slow. I've also got a all in one media card reader i detached because everytime i turned my pc off, the all in one media reader would stay powered on, i think a cord must be plugged in wrong or something, i have not had a reason to use it yet plus it was only like 15$. Next I want to get a 1TB network drive with two 500GB drives and mirror them.

EDIT:::

Forgot to put a picture of my little buddy (big buddys in the thumbnail).. first chiwawa with a mohawk, women love him, plus he has radar ears and a super sense of smell, best house alarm ever

@S_L Nice pistol, I believe the slanted grip makes for easy shootability - I miss my old style glock. We should sell desktop/laptop pistol holsters here!
