Here is my Precious, completely devoid of anything other than the power switch front bay:
This picture was taken before the drill bit decided to take the acrylic to town. I actually don't have a GPU in there in the photo either, so what you are looking at is my X-Fi. The X1900XTX I had was on its way back to newegg, as it decided to stop working at stock speeds, resetting my computer unless I drastically underclocked it. Hopefully I will just get my $480 back so I can buy an R600! I have since purchased an XFX 7600GT as a backup card. I'd take a picture of it but it's nothing too spectacular since it's a low profile card. On a side note, despite how it looks, that carpeting is actually quite dirty! Someone needs to vacuum around here...
And here are all the pieces:
In this photo you can see my two 150GB WD Raptors, one of which was the RAID 0 failure culprit. I will see how they work shortly and put them up for sale, as they have been replaced with 4 x 36GB WD Raptors. You can also see the original 25cm fan and mesh (which has since been sold to bdattilo) in the upper left on top of my printer. In front of my keyboard, next to the HDDs, are a bunch of front panel bay guards, separated from their mesh dust filters. It took me a good 45 minutes to clean all 6 of the bay guards - unacceptable! Next in line are my Sony ODD and one of my two iCages.
Here you can see the other iCage. Those are some Swiftech RAMsinks on top of my Yamaha Subwoofer. I had intended to use them to improve my Tuniq Tower's cooling ability, but I have since decided not to do that and am not sure what I will use them for.
By this time I also learned that my camera does not like to auto-focus properly on things, and since it would take me forever to get pictures again, you'll have to deal with the blurriness...
The next installment will show the $550 in supplies I ordered, which were discussed in the original post.
