It's a big grey Antec case witha side thats clear, so it has a fan there. I've sprayed clear/blue UV spray all over the plastic, so the lit up side mounted fan there flouresces the plastic very nicely. The system has two fans in front, two in the rear, one on the side, and two on the two AMD64 processors. The fans are all speed-controlled, so I don't have to listen to the end of the world vibrating itself to death here on my desktop, it's actually very quiet. The two CPU fans are very quiet ones, Thermaltake's, but I forget the model number, so I will just say that they works at fairly low rpms to keep the noise down. Each of those cpus is equipped with a Gig of ram from Corsair. The Mobo has it's own sound on it, but I eschewed that because the very cheap SoundBlaster Audigy had it's own very compatible FreeBSD and Linux drivers, and it communicates via digital. Actually, I have this system and a second system, and each has 3 cables coming from it, and those cables go directly into the Klipsch speakers (I love having the direct digital input!) so I ran the 3 cables from each computer into a keyboard switcher, and used the video cable fro the digital sound, and it's just superb. I get sound however I want it. The sound has to come from somewhere, ultimately, and I have two drives. The little one, the one that's best for cd's (although it reads dvd's also) is the Sony CRX320E). The other one is for writing anything at all, so I got the best I could find, the HP DVD Writer 420n. Between the two, I can read or write anything. They just work great with kde's k3b, wcich allows them to copy dvd's even. The disks are very well worth noting. Three of them, organized into the boot section and the home section. The boot section is a 35G scsi, but it's 15K rpm rotation rate, which means it's blazing. This would be fast enough on it's own, but it's not on it's own. Tell me if you think it's the neatest, but I don't think so. My own encomium is given to the home section, which is formed from two 145G scsi disks. They are each only 10K rotation rate (faster than the fastest IDE, anyhow), but each one has it's own independent scsi bus, so that the fast that they're hooked together in a striped access via vinum means (in effect) I have a 290G drive that's, I dunno, I have to get to test, but damned fast, let me tell you! Small stuff, it's got the floppy and the network interface, but I won't bore. I'm very very proud of this system, Can you see why?

Ahh, SCSI disks. You used to be able to count on (NetBSD'd) Macs for them. ~Peter Hummers =3D=3D So Schr=F6dinger and Heisenberg are driving around, and Heisenberg says, "I think we just ran over a cat." "Is it dead?" asks Schr=F6dinger. "I can't be certain," says Heisenberg.

Honestly, I'm not so sure you'd tell too much from the photos, but I'll see about getting some, because the alcove I've got set up has the AMD64 FreeBSD, the Mac, the Sparc64 FreeBSD, and the Gentoo Linux, on 3 different LCD monitors. Oh, forgot, the older x86 FreeBSD mail server, also, so there's 5 systems with 3 monitors (2 20", 1 18"). Lighting is from one of those lab-inspired oversized magnifying glasses, that has a 8" circular fluorescent tube in it.
