//me/my computer
My computer is my baby. Some people work meticulously on muscle cars while others spend years building model pirate ships inside of empty bottles .. my hobby is my tinkering with my computer.
His name is OIZO (pronounced "Wee-Zo"), whose namesake is a not-so-famous French electronica artist named Mr. Oizo (check it) .. and he's bad-ass (both the artist and my compy). Oizo's case is the Quantum (jet black) made by XG / MGE. It may look gaudy to some, but my experience is a positive one (and I think he looks classy). The giant "eye" on the front is actually a really cool blue LCD control panel which displays the current temperature for 3 positionable thermometers (I have mine placed on the CPU, the hard drive cluster, and wedged into the heat-sink of my video card), as well as the fan speeds for up to seven internal fans. The thermostat alarms at used-defined temperature thresholds, and all seven fans' speeds are user-controlled, and also alarm when spinning below pre-defined RPMs.
I haven't overclocked him at all (except for the default "OC Profile 10%" within the ASUS AiLife BIOS). If I had the patience (and the money), I'd overclock the snot of it -- but I've burned enough CPUs to call throw in the overclocker's towel (for now). I've been able to get high-quality parts due to my one-year stint at working at CompUSA (which ended when they closed EVERY store in 2007 .. *sigh*).
Short list of parts:
