Sweet Donated Case

Posted by freecomputerguy on February 26, 2007

Hello world! (I feel like writing printf() and main() now) :)

Side View Case Front View of Case

 I picked up the case from my friend over the weekend… There’s no question - I am definitely going to be keeping this case and trading/selling the other one… So long lovely blue case :(

Why? This donated case has the works! Slide in and out 5 1/2 bays, pop out harddrive cages to easily install/remove harddrives, see-through side view case, and a “bling bling” colored fan… Can’t beat that!

So now I have the harddrive, extra 500 watt power supply, and the case – my friend ended up taking the DVD drive out… Still a great donation.

 Now I got 2 extra parts I can start trading or selling… This will definitely be an interesting twist! Let’s see what I can get for these… My first priority is CPU/Mobo… craigslist time!

Inside The BoxIt arrived!

Any of you wanna trade or know someone who would trade? :)

My First Donation

Posted by freecomputerguy on February 22, 2007

Hello Readers,

One of my good friends heard about my quest and had a few spare parts… and I got my first donation! :) Exactly what I was looking for – 80 GB HD, DVD-ROM (i’m still looking around for a burner), and a few things I wasn’t – another case and another power supply… Now the big question is which case and which power supply should I keep… I’ll post pics and ask you guys to decide…
