Comments: This system was once used as sort of an MP3 jukebox for my room. I didn't really use it all that much though.
It's been reconfigured a couple of times now, and it stands as a good box to test hardware with. I can take a part out of another box that I think may be having some problems
and see how this one handles it, so I can narrow down issues. I painted the sides and top of the case silver, when I had some extra paint. I didn't have enough for the front, but it looks better than
all white/beige. There is a funny thing about the video card in this system. My old roommate from college got it for free from 3DFX for being a game programmer. One night
it just went wacky, and the video display was all garbled. After a year or so it was passed to me. Maybe another year later I started building this system, so I
popped in this
card, and whoa! It worked flawlessly! I guess it needed a good two year vacation to get back to work.
