I wouldn't be surprised if that's what HostCrocket was running on, and that some jackass with a baseball bat occasionally came and whacked a few of the drives with it

HA! That looks like a machine i had back at the U once. Well not exactly. But i've had a few machines with no cover. A guys gotta do what a guys gotta do. If you can't afford a case what are you gonna to do, NOT use your computer? Riiiight. Atleast mine utilized a desk and bookcase fairly well.

probably wouldnt be a half bad setup if they would have just stapled a huge sheet of anti static to the board first.

And think of the cooling possibilities... no longer bound by the width limits of conventional cases, you could probably concoct a liquid cooling system bigger than the computer setup itself

I'm having trouble believing that a case was unaffordable when they've got 11 SCSI HD's pinned to that plywood...

 

[whoreable]

i see no problems with that setup.

But why would you want to with a processor that's old enough to work with a motherboard that has SIMM sockets?

i didn't notice the simms slots, good one

Oh, yeah, it's some sort of socket 7. I laughed about this one with my IT guy. It's amazing. We had basically the same conversation as this one.

OMG, that's frickin hilarious. I've seen shoebox computers and such before, but that is just sad!

Sure it's not socket a? I have a socket a board that uses SIMMS...I even have an ISA slot that is being used!

 

[Shadowfax]

for your dial up modem?

Nope, not sure, but it looks to be the size of a socket 7. Besides, boards with both 72 pin and 168 pin were a hell of a lot more common on socket 7.

I'd never even heard of a socket A with 72 pin slots before.

Nope. For my 10GB tape controller card.

you sure socket A cannot use simms as far as i know, need alot of em for the banks, prolly mean DIMMS, you mean SDRAM right? they're talking about the white slots on the board which have no modules in it, 72 pin simm slots, the 168pin DIMM slot is filled with a module there, prolly a socket 7 pentium board.

there is no way in hell they would have released a socket a board with simms. hell simms where already phased out when socket a came out. and shit imagine running an athlon with 128 mb simms....the would have been slower than a k6-2 with a 100 mhz bus.
