* Rig To do list *

- Paint the NewQ Platinum's bezel black to complete the black drives look.
- Migrate the bay display to a black bezel to complete the black drives look.
- Upgrade CPU. With current BIOS, mobo can take up to XP 2600+ processors to max out mobo CPU capabilities.
- Upgrade RAM. Mobo can take up to 2GB of PC2100 RAM to max out mobo RAM capabilities.
- Find blue LED bargraphs.
- Replace PSU fans with Panaflos


* Rig updates and stuff *

- Installed a USB 2.0 expansion card.
- The Hauppauge WinTV Go TV tuner got busted from a bad Comcast cable outage. It busted the card and the PCI slot it was on.
- Replaced the TI4200 card with an MSI 6600GT AGP.
- Replaced the stock TI4200 HSF with an Arctic Cooling NV1 Silencer.
- Replaced the 92mm fan on the SI-97 with a 92mm H1A Panaflo with RPM sensing.
- Replaced the Thermalright AX-7 with a Thermalright SI-97. Rear exhaust fan obstructs the SI97, so that fan went outside the case.
- Wired up the second fan controller to the two new side intakes.
- Replaced my silver drive bezels with black ones. Got a Lian-li C-01b and an F-01b to complete the look.
- Upgraded harddisk space with a 80GB 7200RPM Seagate drive, and replaced my busted Philips CDRW with a nice Samsung 52x32x52x CDRW drive. Took the DVD drive off since it messes up the new Samsung drive. I should've bought a DVD/CDRW combo :(.
- Upgraded sound card. Went from a Soundblaster Live! 5.1 to a Soundblaster Audigy Gamer. Thanks to MaverikV. you eat my ass Mav. no you.
- Upgraded RAM. System now has two sticks of Crucial PC2100 512MB DDR.
- Upgraded CPU. System now has an XP T-bred 2100+ proc. BIOS flashed to accept the t-bred proc. Old proc was a 1.2 Thunderbird.
- Cut two front blowholes and installed two Directron black steel mesh/grills.
- Made a new window. Now with two blowholes for side intakes. Installed Directron black steel mesh/grills to act as grills and filters at the same time.
- Installed the acrylic 80mm-92mm fan adapter (from ClearCaseMan) and a 92mm Panaflo H1A on the heatsink. Old fan was a Thermaltake smartfan from my old Volcano7.
- base rig.
