I've been looking around the site and most of the mods are amazing. i work on computers for a living and always wanted to build my own one off custom rig, so i started the design phase for a scratch built borderlands gaming super computer. any advise is welcome. i still need to do a mock-up of the pc after i learn how to use sketch-up better.
see you in the logs.
Welcome to the forums!
Enjoy your stay and MOD SOMETHING!... LOL!
Great to have you and looking forward to your mod. What do you mean "gaming super computer"? (I know what this would mean to me, but you may have a different idea...)
64Gb ram 4*500Gb sata hdd and intel i7 just for a start still looking for the right graphics card
High all new to the forum but I think i have a pretty good idea I want to try out and I would lvoe some input on where to start.
Hi.
I've built systems, and I've got a couple of frankenbeasts running now (missing sides, open cases, things just hanging out of place cuz they weren't meant to be in the case) but I have some ideas and some thoughts, and with a wife and moving to a new house, I may have to move my toys up to where peoples can see them.
I am here for research, ideas, things to add to my kind of plans to see if I can build some toys that will be allowed to be viewable by folks in general.
Site looks great, and I'm itching to get started.
Welcome all! We love to see new guys. Post your rigs, post your mods, or just post your support in other people's logs.
Hello world I've joined TBCS so that I can further my knowledge on building computers and with my airbrushing hobby I airbrush design on the computer cases, right now I'm working on a close friends computer and I'm adding a John Wayne design on one side and a skull with pistol's on the other side. I've thought about calling it young guns lives on it. But the one thing that is puzzling me is that every time it starts loading up it would get the windows xp logo and it would restart over and over and I've racked my brain until I end up with a migraine. But any help would be most grateful and a big Thank you in advance.
Welcome to the newcomers. Good to see some fresh faces. Hope to see your modding. If you need anything, feel free to ask in the appropriate forums. Plenty of knowledgeable people here who are willing and able to help.
Hi.
Hi all im all new here on TBCS iv been reading up on alot of helpful subjects which has helped in the past.
But now im mega stuck and my need to pick some your brains for clues on what to do.
OK iv read the windows 7 formating help on TBCS im trying to format my pc from vista to my new windows 7 i got last week.
Iv loaded in my windows 7 already and i now have windows old files.
My problem is my pc is custom built and when i try to format my pc to try and remove the windows old files i don't get the option to delete them when following the instuctions on installing my windows 7.....I think this may be the problem the store i payed to build my pc did not program my computer properly and im missing vital files which i need to format my pc.
Question is there another way of deleting those windows old files if so how?
Massive thankyou in advance guys.
You need to boot into a different system in order to reformat the drive. You need to boot into ANYTHING else using a CD (your Win7 install media) or something like a Linux live CD (like Ubuntu). Either one should give you drive tools like FDisk to wipe and reassign partitions. Obviously only do this if you do not want any of the original data from the drive. You did make a backup, right?
For further help, please post in the proper forum section.
My first post and just wanted to say hi and that I'm happy to be here! I've always wanted to airbrush since I was a little kid (don't ever forget your childhood dreams)! I finally got one and I'm hoping to knock out some good stuff soon!
Hi all, I'm new and old,
Thought I would pop in now I have some spare time, I wanted to come back to TBCS,
So HI ALL
We're getting people back! WOOHOO!
hello...newbie here..
Hello newbie. Enjoy the forums.
Hi Modders,
I joined specifically because I'm interested in briefcase computers. Actually I don't have time to build 'em so I'm looking for a reliable modder who has done briefcase stuff and might want to do more.
Unlike most briefcase PCs, ours can and should use laptop guts instead of desktop mobos and power supplies. Basically take a new 15" or 17" laptop, remove everything from the case, mount it well in a secure aluminum briefcase with screen inside the lid. How hard can that be?!
Briefcase modders who can meet deadlines with quality work, be in touch!

Is this for a one off system or a repeatable unit?Quote:

Seems like a fun place to be! Hey everyone, first time poster, long time lurker. There's a lot of creative stuff on this site, and it boggles my mind how some of you guys can pull this stuff off... Personally, I don't think I've ever set enough time aside to finish anything you guys have. Maybe if I hang around enough, I'll pick up some good habits and stop leaving my projects half-finished...
Sometimes, I wonder that myself. :whistler:Quote:

Can anyone help?

That's all I've got. I would do some google-fu, but I've got to write right now.
Hi all. New to the site but happy to be here. Will post the build I'm currently working on.

Hi!
I love reading through work logs and getting ideas. I have a bunch of them myself, but I wish I had the ability to make them a reality. Thanks for making this forum and for having me.
Hi all
I've been thinking of doing my first scratch build for some time but kinda need to pull my finger out now as I've got a lot of work being done on my flat in a few months, so I need to get my PC off the bench and into a case before then so I can move it and I really don't want to spend £100 on a case that isn't even what I want (I'm limited in cases I can buy anyway, due to the size of my Antec CP-850 PSU).
Anyway, love the pun in the sitename, which was one of the things that drew me to this site :) I'll post my ideas in the rookies section and ask for advice there.
Welcome!!Quote:

Hey everyone,
I was looking for some Arduino info and joined the forum. New to Arduino, looking to learn...
Hi everyone :p
Nice to see you here.
Couldn't find any new thread starter, so the reply button subs. Hello to all from Bay Area! I'm doing custom build of first home PC. Tired of being on the 'time clock' at library. Have not been able to track down any full-size tower ATX case having what I want (steel chassis, aluminum panels, & maglev fans), so looks like I may have to do some modding, and hope to find some direction here.
San Francisco Bay Area? I'm down in Morgan Hill. I'd recommend hitting up Weirdstuff Warehouse and Halted in Sunnyvale if you're looking for older hardware.
Weirdstuff looks excellent! Thanks. Is Halted the same as HCS Electronic Supply of Santa Clara or the one in Santa Rosa? Didn't find anything in Sunnyvale.Quote:

Some of you might have seen my recent Project that was featured on the April cover of CPU magazine "Project Green Machine".
My friend told me about this site so I thought I would come on over and share my worklogs here with everyone.
Thanks for having me.
Hey all, I've been voiding warranties and modding computers ( along with cars, houses, guns,etc ) for decades. Not much of a forum dweller but the exchange of information, new ideas, etc. id crucial. I picked this particular forum because here I find more of what I'm looking for, well done TBCS!!!
I have a mod that that's been knocking around in my head for a while but it's still fragmented, myself I can build, weld, cut, paint just about anything it's design that's difficult. So I'm here to learn and share.
