Title: PC Makeover
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on May 02, 2005, 10:07:40 AM
I'm finally fixing my PC, and adding a little bit of fun to it.  This will be my new case/board (an EPoX EP-EX5300NR):

That is pretty sweet.
I don't really like how box like it is. But all in all it looks great.

That case looks awesome. Izret is so very very wrong. I'd trade my case in for one like that in an instant.

It'll be really nice for LAN parties and since I will have the TV card in there, it will be a great media system.  I'm probably going to reformat and install Windows XP Media Center Edition.  Since I have to buy that stinky Mac laptop, this semi-portable PC will be nice to have for a lot of reasons.  The built-in card reader should also be nice for digital photography.  Now all I need is an LCD.

Yes, it will be nice for lan parties, no more Mike using my laptop. WOOHOO!

In all seriousness, your new PC will be damn sexy. Couple that with  an LCD screen, and you have yourself a sleek, stylish system. Too bad there will be that one person who one ups you at LAN parties by bringing a projector.   :laugh:
