i know some power supplies allow you to disconnect wires that aren't in use.

What? I've never seen anything like that in the 5 years I've been building. What brands?

i like how they bundled up the wires.

that new ultimate rip off antec in another post has disconnectable wires

sleepypost · 04-25-2003, 10:58 AM

yea, hehee, i wasnt sure if that was necessarily a good thing.

it sounds both like a great idea and a sloppy, half-assed marketing ploy.

sam21 · 04-26-2003, 05:00 PM

Inner pic of case,you can see why I can care less about the wiring,huuuge case with lots of air space

KronoLeginaire · 04-26-2003, 05:08 PM

the point of having neat, clean case wiring is so that things cool off better since wires are not all on top of them and blocking airflow.

But with that much free space,it won't really make a difference won't it?

sam21 · 04-26-2003, 05:43 PM

Couple more pics,view of the work area..

sam21 · 04-26-2003, 05:44 PM

Very good old printer,HP Deskjet 694c

i3OSS · 04-26-2003, 06:55 PM

Ive heard people who use the cables to direct the airflows. very nice idea but i like how the wires are organized, i just stuff mine in the empty floppy slots

delta013 · 04-26-2003, 07:16 PM

Sam21, what is your case brand/model?

That is a sound blaster live drive. You can hook microphones, headphones to it. Control sound volume and some other cool stuff. I think it eve has a remote control too.

Spyda · 05-01-2003, 05:44 AM

never seen a case looking like that with that window on the side
looks like an AVGS case

djdannylee · 05-01-2003, 10:12 AM

im not usre really, i picked it up online over here in good old uk and it was a mere £30 with fan light and psu

kissfan · 05-01-2003, 07:05 PM

I would look to invest in a decent power supply for that case djdannylee.

The case is worth the money but the PSU is probably a £10.00 ($US15.00) no namer. Where did you get? Was it a computer fair or online.

Take a look at

Overclockers.co.uk they have some great PSU's and yes they may cost a little more, but you will at least get piece of mind.

Any idea of where I can get one/price?Or anything similar to that?

***glc*** · 05-01-2003, 09:29 PM

The Live Drive comes with the Live and Audigy Platinum sound cards. It's only compatible with Creative cards that have the 40 (I think) pin header on the sound card, the cable looks just like a standard IDE cable. If you can find one separately, I hear that they are costly.

sam21 · 05-02-2003, 05:02 PM

ook,anything similar to that?I think "baybus"es also have audio jacks also?Any ideas of where I can get baybuses?

KronoLeginaire · 05-02-2003, 07:31 PM

sure you can make one...

I hope you like the ideal of the thing and its functionality, not its looks, because you won't end up with something that looks anything like a live drive. At the most you can put 1 headphone and 1 microphone jack on the front of your case.

I don't know of any baybuses that have headphone jacks on them..

Hey Spyda, The Front Looks Like My Case, Except My Front Cover Is Royal Blue & It Doesn't Have a Window Side, But The Cases Are Made By Powermax (www.powmax.com)

The Front Makes It Look Like A SEL-8870, But It Would Seem That They Stuck A SEL-8077 Window Side On It ...Odd..

(Look Here: http://www.powmax.com/CASE_GENREAL_PAGE.htm)

I Find These Guys Make Good Price/Value Cases, One Can Be Had For Around $40 CAD With A 350w PS...

Propain · 05-05-2003, 10:36 PM

Got nicer pics coming soon. Actually modified my side panel today with 2 Sunbeam case fans, should have them up by weekend. modding is so fun. but my wife begs to differ. they just dont understand

cheers

drew. · 05-06-2003, 06:45 AM
