That looks pretty neat. It's amazing how you managed to fit a complete retro rig into such a small case. As Tetrium said though, the PSU looks really dangerous. You should really put some shielding around it. Also, how well does cooling work? I can't see any air slits on the cover.
Re: Internet Explorer Load Error

Use system restore and/or Open Internet Explorer in Internet Explorer Safe Mode and disable addins. Ok, but will it clean out my computer of everything. Such as game files, pictures, videos, etc.? No, it just temporarily disables all the plugins for IE you have installed. If that doesn't work, then …

I suppose you're right, but I still can't grasp how an MX4000 can be more expensive than an 8400GS. The 8400 is superior in every way except maybe power consumption, but I still don't think it uses that much.

I've seen loads of stuff like this on newegg.com. Just take a look at PCI cards or the $25-$50 price class. The weirdest thing I've seen is a GeForce 6200 for $164! According to the title it's a dual-GPU card with 4 VGA ports, but the picture shows a card with two DVI ports. Seems a bit fishy to me. …

I've been playing since Beta 1.2, and it's a pretty nice game. Since it's a sandbox game there's always something to do. Also, if you get bored there's always mods to play around with. Btw, why isn't anyone joining the server? So far only I and Bob have played.

I use the newest/fastest working drive I can find. I don't care about loud CD/DVD drives when I have good speakers 😀

Oops, sorry. I misread it as only "6800 Ultra".

According to Wikipedia, there was also a 6800 Ultra Extreme. Not sure if it was released though.

Calmira XP is based off an older version of Calmira LFN. I suggest you use the latter one.
Re: Computer refuses to boot after moving the mobo to a new case?
Posted on 2011-05-13, 23:48
I did some experimenting, turned out the video card wasn't seated properly. I fixed it by loosening the motherboard screws, re-inserting the graphics card and then tightening the mobo screws. The computer works perfectly, besides that the CMOS gets reset if the PSU is disconnected. I'll have to get …

There's also Dosstart, which is a bit similar to Windows 95.

Computer refuses to boot after moving the mobo to a new case?
Posted on 2011-05-11, 18:54
Hello! I recently aquired two Pentium IV-based computers; one with an Epox mobo, and one with an Intel mobo. The one with the Epox mobo works fine, though the one with the Intel mobo just shut off itself when I turned it on. I still kept it, thinking that it might be BIOS related or similar. After …
