Brings back all the angst about whether it should be Wordperfect or Word. I was an Ami Pro person - loved it but it stood no chance against the MS machine.

I still have my Pentium 133Mhz with an original Voodoo 1 3DFX graphics card. I upgraded it with a CPU cooler, which is way over the top. I had a voodoo card. It was the 3 I think. Awesome times were had with that card, lost about 3 years on half-life and counterstrike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, they have their ways and means. Had to chuckle at this @ 58 -> 65 secs. In the mirror it all looks so innocent : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
200p Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 The Thermaltake tower case gave me an idea on these cold dark winter's nights... I took the side panel off and put an acrylic panel on it and stuck some LED's in it. Well that saved me £260. This could spawn a new thread if there is interest. Get your PC out lol.

And here's me after a new PC for games without a see-through case full of lights. What's the purpose of the Millenium Falcon in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
200p Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It was going to be a side project, I was going to turn the inside 5.25' bay into some death star hangar. But now he Falcon just sits there for now. ^print this out and stick in a 5'25 bay with the falcon in front of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
