Hasn't the MCOTW been fun? Well I've had fun anyway ...

We're slowly making our way through and I've come to an interesting lil fork in the road.

I have FIVE identical cases.
Well, they were identical when the came off the assembly line but now they each have gained a little different character all their own.

So rather than hear stuff like "I wish I knew about that one b4 I got this one"...

And to celebrate the TENTH MCOTW I have decided to basically offer them all at once.

Every day for the next five days I'll add the particulars about a case to this thread. That way you can see them all before you choose.

Each case will be designated by a letter [10A, 10B, 10C, ...] so we can tell them apart.

ummm, how about putting up the first one now......... yeah, yeah, now!

First Up - CASE 10A

+++ this is an AT case – not atx. +++

ItÂ’s a nice size - 18 in tall, 15.5 in deep, 6.75 in wide

3 external 5.25” bays, 3 external 3.5" bays and 2 internal 3.5" bays
2 parallel port connectors and 1 serial port connector

All 8 slot covers in back, but not necessarily the originals
All 6 bay covers, but not necessarily the originals
I managed pretty close matches on all of these tho'

Lock but NO KEY

MOBO: Asus P/I-P55TP4N
PROC: No proc, but if you can tell me what might match I might have one and will include
PSU: Kingspao 250W

WARNING: The case is SLIGHTLY bent. I could only screw in 5 of 6 in the rear. A lil percussive engineering may fix.

Price [as ALWAYS] $1 plus ACTUAL shipping and a $2 handling fee to cover boxes and peanuts

Monsignor takes PayPal & money orders. Earliest timestamp - with a ZIP CODE - on a PM to me - gets DIBS

It goes out to the trash: Mar 21 2004

Peanuts? What you eat while you're packing is up to you, but I don't see why prospective customers should be exepected to pay for them

I don't charge for my Co-Colas or my ham sandwiches, but the elephant that does all the heavy lifting eats ALOT of peanuts

ROFL, i wish i could have a pet elephant LOL

he's an employee!

i'll post a pic tomorrow
-MF

hrm, I've always wondered, how hard would it be to convert one of these to ATX? I have a panel I can take off a case if I have to, but I was wondering how well some drilling would work.

dual its not hard at all aslong as u have a dremel or a jig saw....just place mobo agains tray...see were u need to cut for the IO panel...trance, cut..then get sum screws to be used as mobo stands offs ..and ur golden


its tomorow now, WHERES THE ELEPHANT!!!!!

Last [and perhaps least] - CASE 10E

+++ this is an AT case – not atx. +++

ItÂ’s a nice size - 18 in tall, 15.5 in deep, 6.75 in wide

3 external 5.25” bays, 3 external 3.5" bays and 2 internal 3.5" bays
2 parallel port connectors and 1 serial port connector

All 8 slot covers in back, but not necessarily the originals
All 6 bay covers, but not necessarily the originals
I managed pretty close matches on all of these tho'

10E [as was 10D] is a lil different from their brothers.
NO MOBO
NO PSU
NO LOCK
NO POWER SWITCH
NO CASE BADGE INSERT
NO RESET BUTTON PANEL in the 3.5" SIZE

And to top it all off, the bezel is cracked slightly along the top edge.

still dont see the pic of elephant

posed about an hour ago. Have some patience bro!
-MF

Case 10C is spoken for. It weighed 25.5 lbs at the USPS this morning so I'd expect the same for 10A and 10B. Now 10D and 10E have no PSU and no mobo and no-some-other-stuff so they should weigh LESS and therefore cost LESS to ship if dollars are a concern [when aren't dollars a concern Monsignor?]

-MF

Had to get a model release from elephant. His people are going over it.

Back in play.

I REPEAT

Case 10C is available

That is all
-MF

The elephant has long been my familiar. A large land creature of incredible memory and horrific smell - sound like anyone we know

I picked up this guy at a After-Xmas-So-The-Booth-Is-Closing-Sale about 1984.

Note the pimphat. I wore this to various venues during the 1996 Olympics.

And y'all thought I was kidding when I said I had an elephant

Is the heffalump the Heinlein / Herbert fan, or is that you ?

And why is he taking a dump on a shelf?

My wife has about 5 bookshelves full of science fiction .... the elephant just happens to be sitting above the H's

and he isn't taking a dump, he's resting. All that heavy lifting I mentioned before.
