21-inch CRT Studio Display

Thats ok we all have our opinions and that works for me. I had a buddy who had a dual processor PC with twin video cards back when that was first introduced and fans on everything. When he would start playing that thing would dim the light on his desk and with some 12 fans it sounded like it was talking off for the moon.

 
I used to use a case that could take 6x 5.25" drives and 9x 3.5" drives. but it was too small!
Do you happen to have a photo of the tower which takes 6x 5.25" drives and 9x 3.5" drives (presumably all at the same time)?

I somehow have a feeling that many of us would be interested to see what it looks like.

 
It actually only took 3x 3.5" in stock form. :p

There are only five 3.5" HDDs and one floppy drive in the case. And one of the bays conflicted with my GFX card's power connectors. Only a single 5.25" bay is empty.

And this is the latest pic I have atm. The only changes IIRC are upgrading to a HIS Radeon HD 7950 IceQ x2 3GB and changing some of the SATA cables around.

And a similarly old pic from behind, except now it also has a serial port poking out the lower watercooling tube hole thing. And I got rid of the PS3 because it was stupid. Sitting around for years being barely touched because GT5 is lame. If you think that is a lot of cables I also have a USB hub sitting under my display.. :-/

That 7950(centre) is a good sized card! No way would it have fit in my old case when the Radeon HD 3850(bottom) was already at the limit.

I think my dream case (excluding custom built ones) might have to be a LianLi PC-G70 or PC-A77F or some such monster. Perhaps a large Mountain Mods case even. But for the time being I cannot really justify the cost of upgrading my case so it must wait. I know it does not look like it, but I do have priorities.

I love my PC. I use it to do ALL OF THE THINGS!

However it is still not big enough, and does not have enough stuff in it. I have plans on watercooling eventually.. Some day my pretty 480 radiator, just wait the world will see you.
