Custom PC

[Idiophreak]

wow, a whole magazine about purdy pooters. How cooel.

[Gecko]

Yup, but ur a bit late its bin out since the summer.

[mrplow]

I've got every issue :)

It's reasonably good, sometimes a little noobish...

[Idiophreak]

aaah, but i am n88b, so will suit me good :D

Think you can get back issues anywhere?

I quite like the way it references back issues the whole time (issue 7 page 10 etc)

tahts just to make sure you buy loads of their magazines.

[mrplow]

Surely they sell back issues... afaik they're from the same stable as the exemplary PCZone and I know they do. Try winging off an email to publications.

Also, on the same topic, kinda:

Have any of you guys sent pix of your cases in to them for the pick n mix thing??

(wow, i must be getting geeky, inserting random numbers)

translation:

Yours godsta be good enough to winnit ploweh!

(OK, i admit it, i'm bored)

[mrplow]

I read the random crap without problem.. that's gotta be a bad sign.

I dunno why you think my case would be good enough since you can't see the state it's in. I reckon Carl's cube would rawk it but he seems reluctant to enter.

Anyway since about issue 4 all the prime h4x0rs from bit-tech and various other places have cottoned on to the fact that they can blag free kit so are all entering their super-dooper amazing cases.

[Idiophreak]

ah yes, but their cases aren't GIR powered...Victory will be mine!

Sometime.

[Idiophreak]

been looking on the website at the other readers drives.
most of them are pretty generic moddy moddy thangs actually.

might put the case girmachine on anyways for a laff

[Gecko]

Do it! Go on, u might win something. Or get in a magazine.

[mrplow]

The GIR machine deserves much.

If there are any zim fans in the office you'll have a pretty good chance tbh

[Idiophreak]

:D fingers crossed for GIR fans tho...

never ever gonna winnit, but nice to show people who go there than not all modded pcs are stock modded cases with a couple of cathodes shoved in
:D

[mrplow]

Worth a shot! :D

I gotta persuade Carl to send in his cube, and I'll send in pics too. techangel forums for the win!

[Idiophreak]

my pc on the readers drives things...woow, techangel 4 da w1n!

[donkeyhumper]

my pc on the readers drives things...woow, techangel 4 da w1n!

anyone got a scan?

[mrplow]

I think he means he submitted it, not won it.


This link shows it... for now anyway... the site seems a bit lame so it might not work forever.

GIRMACHINE is my first modded PC, been done over a while.

There's no window in the case, which makes it look a little different to the generic modded cases you see all the time.

The case is also pretty small, so everything is really crammed in (including CPU fan within PSU...) making it a lot trickier than it looks.

The case has GIR on the side. Which rocks.

Spec
• Athlon 1.2
• 512mb pc2700
• 80gb and 120gb WD Caviars
• Sapphire radeon 9200 Atlantis
• Modded 400w PSU
• 6 case fans.
• Sunbeam fanbus.


I get the feeling Wyvern Pearce from Plumpton might be in with a shot for "teh win", but fingers crossed for the GIRMACHINE!

[donkeyhumper]

[Gecko]

Aye, looks pretty good.

[Gecko]
