 [KCBD XXX Computer Giveaway]
30TH Event Giveaway

Well I'm sure that you've all been wondering what it is that makes up the KCBD 30th event giveaway computer.  While it won't be finished until a little before the weekend of the event, I thought I'd share with you some of the pictures of the beast in the making and fill you in on the specifications.

Here are the specs:

  • Lian-li PC-61 black and red anodized aluminum case, heavily modified by PCMutants
  • Enermax EG365P-VE FCA 350w PS w/fan control
  • 17" Compaq P710 flat CRT
  • Asus A7M266 - featuring the AMD 760 Northbridge, ATA/100, and onboard AC97 sound
  • AMD Athlon XP 1800+ CPU w/Vantec CCK-6035D HS w/Ice Hole and 80mm fan
  • 512 Megs PC2100 Crucial RAM (2x256)
  • PNY Verto GeForce 3 Ti 200 w/64 Megs of DDR
  • Sound Blaster Live! x-Gamer 5.1
  • Maxtor 80GB UATA/133 hard drive
  • TDK Velocd 24/10/40 CD-RW
  • Toshiba 16x DVD
  • D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100 NIC
  • 5 port Linksys 10/100 switch
  • Logitec dual optical mouse
  • Black DELL keyboard (dude, you're getting a Dell :-P)
  • APC SurgeArrest personal surge protector
  • 14' CAT5 LAN cable

The first set of pictures show the mainboard assembled to the mainboard tray, the CPU, heatsink, and supplied fan attached, and then the RAM installed.

     


In the second set of pictures below show the GeForce 3, NIC, and Sound Blaster installed.  The last pic shows the PC ready to be completed by PCMutants.  What are they going to do with it?  They are installing a 120mm blowhole, a PCM-203 RheoBus, internal lighting, Ice Hole HS/Fan adapter, a LARGE window, rounded IDE/floppy cables while looming the other cables making them look tidy, and laser etching on the MB side which will feature our XXX logo and logos of all the sponsors that help to make it all happen!

     

-UPDATE-   2/05/02    Here are some pictures of the CD-RW and DVD-ROM faces being painted to match the case!  Thanks, PCMutants!

     
     
     
     

-UPDATE-   2/07/02    Here are some pictures of the Rheobus being setup to work in the case!  Thanks, PCMutants!
