Quote That is slowly turning into a real nice machine. Would you like any etched glass stickers for it? PM me with details if you do. I can cut anything if you can supply a vector. (You do have a window, right?)

Of course it has a window!  An etch would be good - undecided yet what to have on the window.  I'm also still trying to figure out what colour light to stick in it  :?   Any suggestions on either the design or colour of the light?  I was thinking maybe a red cathode or laser led this time, but how about the deadmen logo that Slowhand designed?  The one that is used on the Clanbase site?

Update on the PC.  The drivers are all loaded up and I am transferring the follwoing benchmarking software to use:

3DMark2003 build 320
3DMark2001SE (final build)
PCMark2002
Prime95
SiSoft Sandra Pro

I am also loading up some system data software (I don't know which one will be of use at the moment): CPUFSB, CPU-Z and WCPUID.

Anything else I should include for the initial benchmarks?  I intend to work my way through the lot of them each time I ramp up the speeds.

More posts later.......

OK I have added the UT2003 benchmark, but will not publish the Bot ones as they are not comparable across different machines.  Cheers!  :D

ok, Slowhand. Do you have the logo as a vector graphic? If not, can you mail me a high res version?

TL, I recently bought a circlular cold cathode for my fan.  Word of warning, red cold cathodes shine "light-red", and whats light-red?  yes its PINK!

!

I've got both my cathodes (blue & red) on the rheobus so I can at least turn it down some.... or if I'm feeling camp or wishing to attract moths, turn down the blue and blast the pink!  :lol:

OK, I have installed the following software only in the below order, rebooting between each instal.

Windows XP Pro SP1
nForce2 XP Drivers
Abit Hardware Doctor
Sapphire 9700 ATI Drivers
Hydravision
DX9
BIOS Flash to v1.1

I have run a variety of benchmarks and these are my baseline scores before I start doing any tweaking at all.

SiSoft Sandra Pro
CPU Arithmetic Benchmark - 7669
CPU Multimedia Benchmark - 16732
Memory Bandwidth Benchmark - 3908
File System Benchmark - 25378

PCMark2002
CPU Score - 4501
Memory Score - 4060
HDD Score - 1139

3DMark2001SE
3DMark2001SE Score - 11442

3DMark2003
3DMark2003 Score - 3962

The above are not blindingly good scores, but I know from a quick peek at a lot of the system settings that a lot of them are set well below what the should be, but I wanted to benchmark the system and demonstrate the performance you might get if you just took delvery of it and didn't do any tweaking at all.  Any performance gains from here on will be down to tweaking and overclocking.

I'll post incremental sets of results in due course as I start playing with system settings.

I'm totally hooked now  :D

"Will TL be able to rack up those benchmark scores or will it all end in meltdown and a visit from the Fire Brigade  :?: Keep watching folks"

Riveting :!:


(That sounded sarcastic  :(  ...which it shouldn't have. I am genuinely intreagued to see what happens when the tweakage commences.)
