Seattle is very nice during the summer. It's on Puget Sound, there are substantial lakes nearby, and spectacular views across water of the mountain ranges that bracket the area. Ninety degree days are quite rare. Summer doesn't really start until the second week of July.

Winter? Weyell, she's a not a so nice. Snow in the lowlands is rare but grey rainy days can seem to go on forever. Good ski areas aren't far from the city, yet Sierra Cement and Cascade Concrete are very close relatives. "Guaranteed" powder isn't available until you head farther East.

The city has changed a lot over the last two decades. Time machines just aren't available yet. Or maybe the past often seems better.

What does this have to do with case modifications?

Well, they're not drive throughs so much for the convinience of it, but rather to keep the clerks from getting "capped". Lots of crime in those parts of Detroit! Some crackhead tried to pull a car jacking on me down that way, I had no choice but to run the dumbass over . . .

I don't live in Motown anymore, but I used to, and it isn't a very nice place . . .

back in the day I lived in Dearborn, much more like suburbia. But I have heard stories.

chris, what ever happened to that avia Y of yours that did 1.6 ghz? if its knocking around would u consider selling it to yours truly?

[TranceBear]

It's running this box right now. Make me an offer and I might just throw a 2100XP in this thing.

ygpm chris...

i gotta build a LAN box, is a M-ATX board just as quick as regular ATX? im hoping it just has fewer PCI slots....

[Wa11y]

Yeah, M-ATX is the Micro ATX form factor. Usually only has one AGP slot, and at most two PCI slots. But if you get one with on-board sound and LAN, all you'll need is a video card anyway.

What's a good M-ATX board? Are there any with the KT266A chipset?

[Random Nonsense]

EPoX 8khm i believe im just worried about how they hold up against a full size board, the epox one should have on board sound, but no network ability, i was wondering, has anyone made a triangular case? shove a riser on PCI for the NIC, whack in my old GF256 for graphics, chris' avia Y. and make myself a triangular perspex case....

That's the exact same mobo I was looking at.

NICs are tiny, so if you are brave, you could cut the expansion plate, and mount it that way, instead of using a riser.

Perhaps an inverted triange? That would be cool looking.

This is the board I ordered. I am very impatiently waiting for fed-ex right now. My livingroom is kinda messy right now waiting (see pic). I have heard many reviews for this board. it has the same performance and O/C options as the bigger Epox. The key is to make this 180watt P/S work, this Athlon uses alot by itself.

Betty, I still need a vacation real bad, anybody need a kidney?
