My photos are down.. This datacenter in the new blurb is where all of my photos resided... I'm still waiting for ETA on getting them back online as of saturday. If they're lost, I can't even imagine how much time it will take re-insert them back into all of my worklogs. I just might have to go on a serious drinking binge..lol, but I will re-insert them here as soon as possible! Luckily I have a seperate host for CaseModBlog.com

	Texas-Based Server Provider Explosion Affects 9,000 Servers, 7,500 Customers Houston, TX (AHN) -- An explosion Saturday evening at a Texas-based, privately held server hosting provider has caused server outages effecting 9,000 servers and 7,500 customers. According to The Planet's website, at about 5 p.m. Saturday electrical gear shorted, creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls surrounding their electrical equipment room. No injuries were reported and no servers were damaged or lost. The Houston company, which provides servers for small and medium sized companies, said it has its entire support team working around the clock to get the servers back on line. They estimate they will be up and running by Sunday afternoon.

	Mad Reader Mod Project Phenom Bill “Overkill Bill” Owen knows a thing or two about modding; he’s customized several PCs. In fact, he has his own shop in a warehouse where he does his work. Recently, Bill had an opportunity to create a custom PC for AMD as a display piece to promote AMD’s new Spider platform. Inspired by AMD’s quad-core Phenom CPU, he jumped at the chance. He says the project required 200 hours of meticulous design and crafting, which culminated in this beautiful Project Phenom mod. The system includes AMD’s Phenom 9900 CPU coupled with a CoolerMaster Copper Sphere CPU cooler, a pair of AMD 3870 X2 video cards, a 400GB Western Digital hard drive, and 2GB of OCZ RAM, all of which is plugged into a Gigabyte 790FX motherboard and a 750W power supply. Bill rounded out the system with a 22-inch widescreen LCD, a Thermaltake LCD screen tucked into a 5.25-inch drive bay, a Razer Lachesis mouse and Lycosa keyboard, and a Pioneer BD drive. The system runs on Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate. The system is tucked into a Thermaltake SwordM server tower, but as you can see, the case has been heavily customized. The case’s design was inspired by the Phenom logo, a silver rocket. Bill imagined what the interior of the rocket would look like and envisioned triangular airlocked doors and lots of recessed surface features. Bill says that the Phenom case was designed as “a futuristic cargo box for highly advanced electronics.” The case’s shell uses 1/4-inch thick 6061 aluminum that was milled by Craig Guth and then chrome-plated. Bill had PCDesignLab.com design the fan grilles h....

Is that that lan party out in california in like a month or 2 i was reading about one that is sponsered by nvidia lol i was thinking about going to it and showing up with my amd/ati rig lmfao =D

DarthBeavis · 09-July-08, 01:56 PM

Bill I have to ask if you are taking this rig to Nvision? I am not taking Cherry X . . . .neither Nvidia or ATI would go for that. This presents a problem as I am going to talk to Nvidia about having previous CPU Mag cover rigs in a VIP area before the mod contest (as well as my other Nvidia rigs). Do you have another one ready or will you?

mnpctech · 09-July-08, 06:10 PM

I will not be attending Nvision, we're recording final segment of our Bruce Lee tribute PC project that weekend.
