my geeky project

[solipsistnation]

This is the project I've been semi-secretly working on.

For people who like numbers and models, it's a Shuttle SN45G with an Athlon XP 3000+ (2.1GHz) CPU. It's got a 400MHz CPU bus and a 400MHz memory bus. It's got 1GB PC3200 RAM. It's got a 120GB hard disk and some kind of generic DVD-ROM drive. It's also got a Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB 8xAGP card and a wireless card. I then take all this crap and run Windows XP on it, so I can play video games. And, uh, that's it. Should play Half-Life 2 and Thief III and all those real good, once they ship.

To paraphrase: "I wish I could say this was the geekiest thing I'd done. Today."

Hey, is that power switch standard? Looks easy to find, tho I suppose it could be tripped accidentally pretty easy.

(you know, right when you're killing me in hl2!)

The actual power switch is the larger of the two buttons on the front, and it's a software button, really.

The big switch on the back turns the lights on and off. 8)

As a disgruntled EE, I offer you this advice: never trust a software button. If it don't need an occasional cleaning, it ain't a switch, I reckon.
