case put together

the idea is to put a flux capacitor in the window like so:

(sorry paint+laptop touch pad= bad image)

then paint all but the front panel the steel color then put the dmc logo on the front and make like a car grill and paint dmc on the side of the case in chrome outlined in black

Flux capacitor? Cool.

Keeping an eye on this one, I like the the back To The Future films (and how cool is the DeLorean?).

Brilliant idea dude, looking forward to it! But the flux capacitor in the movies was a lot smaller than that... ;)

I think that card is eISA.

I don't know what is up with that SCSI card but I have the strangest setup in my two servers. There are two types of normal PCI that I know of. PCI 32/33 and PCI 64/33. The 32/33 is the normal setup that everyone knows. the 64/33 has an extention for more connections at the end of it. (Yours is not 64/33 I don't know what it is. However the SCSI adaptora in stalled in the computers are 64/33 cards and have the extra connections. For some reason though they are installed in the 32/33 PCI slots and not the 64/33 slots on the motherboard. I have two identicle systems set up this way from the factory and both work fine. Not sure if that info helps at all but I can post a picture later if you want.
