Hey, you really love your computer, don't you? ;)
It looks pretty cool, especially the pacman shaped wndow :) Although those black/yellow stripes are a bit too wild for my taste.

I've installed a new MSI motherboard yesterday, and I was quite surprised by all those light effects the chipset fan generates :) To bad *I* don't have any windows on my case ;D

Hey! That is a really cool computer! Nothing compared to my usual-boring-grey-box. Althought, those colors are not my colors either... :) I would have done it black, with... black :)

Those temperatures you got are very nice :)
I too have an AthlonXP 1800+ (not overclocked as yours) and the temperatures are around 60C.... :( I should change my cpu's fan someday I gues...

well, the overclocking is not that much... I only overclocked it 20mghz or something like that, to get a 1900+ calification in my bios & sisoft sandra ;D

Actually, the 1800+ cpu works at 1540MHz so you have overclocked it 70Mhz :) But why do you need that "clarification in the bios & sisoft sandra"?

yeah, I didn't remember the 1800+ factory default speed  :P. I only increased the FSB by 7mhz (yep, now it's at 140Mhz). I said 20mhz just to say that I didn't overclocked it much. And for the 1900+ estimation of sandra & the bios... well, I don't really need it, there's no logic reason, I only wanted to say "I have a 1900+ for the price of a 1800+" xD, yes, very stupid  ::).

Hey, Nice box.... 8)

I was thinking about modding mine too, and i will as soon as the 3 year insurance has run out, only 1.8 years to go   ;D

but McCoy, where are the neon lights??? oh, i see them. but still, you need more lights, MORE!

I was thinking about putting neon wires around the buses, but it is VERY expensive, like $40 for every 50cm or so. And I putted a BlackLight tube, so i don't want to put a cold cathode neon light, it will ruin the blacklight effect  ;)

Pacman window = AWESOME!

Black and yellow is a bit loud for me too, but it's still cool to look at on someone else's box.

I'd have done black with little dots and a maze. *g*

I like the design a lot. The only problem might be that the keyboard and mouse don't look too comfortable :) Darn, my case is sooo dull

To mine, they doesn't work anymore. They were hosted in my adventuredevelopers space, but suddenly they deleted my account with no warning... and I don't mind because now I'm in another (and much better, no ads) server. Anyway, my computer is nothing compared to the HL2 one Mnemonic showed...
