Anima's Computer

     Well, here's where I'll talk about my rig, complain about it, plea for help from my web-audience, and show pretty pictures.

    
     This is my first computer, which I've modded and upgraded beyond recognition since first purchasing the once-beige box. With 10' of electroluminescent Glo-wire in green and blue, a UV laser LED, a UV-sensitive blue case fan, a flashing blue-LED transparent case fan, UV-sensitive clear rounded IDE cables, and two UltraViolet cold cathodes I've made it a lot more attractive. I modified the case and its components slowly, stuff like dying the CD-RW and Equalizer bezels black, sleeving my power supply wires in (supposedly) UV-reactive blue braided sleeving, and replacing the metal side panel with a plexi one engraved with the 'Griever' logo from Final Fantasy 8.

Here's a shot of my case in the dark, with the lights on and the side-panel opened on its hinges.

This is, sadly, the only picture I could dig up of my current case.  The FF8 one is still around; it contains all the parts I upgraded from to fill this big black box.  I'd planned to mod this one as well, but I lost the casemod bug.  If I get it back, I'll probably do some sort of space theme, sprinkle some stars on that vast expanse of black.  Though I used to be proud of this machine's power, it utterly failed me when I tried to play Ghostbusters.  I'll need a much better processor and video card, which means a new motherboard at this point.  That's not really an upgrade at that point; it's just a new computer.

I also have a DOS machine in my room, which currently requires drivers for its serial mouse, and 16-bit Soundblaster soundcard.  Then I'll be able to play Cybermage, Alien Logic, and SpaceQuest again! Whee! :K)
     There are two other gutted computers in the room that shift position every week or so. Maybe eventually I'll have enough parts to bring those to life too.  I have a spare monitor, ever since I bought a 17" from a friend's friend, for forty bucks.  It's great, after the old 15" inch!
