Working on something new

[Professor Roxor]

I just ordered some parts and I wanted to get some suggestion and criticism.

Parts Ordered:
ChiefTec Dragon (Lightening Yellow) ATX Case
Artec 16x DVD Drive (Lightening Yellow)
Artex CD-RW 52X-24X-52X (Lightening Yellow)
Soyo Motherboard 478 ATX Motherboard
Intel P4 3.0 Ghz
AeroCooling High Tower CPU Cooler
(3) Speeze 80MM 39CFM (Yellow LED)
(1) Gig PC3200 DDR 400MHz Memory
Aerocool 550 Watt Power Supply
Hitatchi 120 BG 7200 RPM
Creative Labs Sound Blaster live 5.1 PCI Sound Card
nVidia GeForce FX 5600 Video Card 256 DDR
Planar 17" LCD

My plan was to mend my computer into my bed, so that my lazy arse doesn't have to get up. I was going to use a LCD Monitor arm, hook that to my bed post, and get retractable keyboard and mouse tray with the same idea as the LCD monitor arm, but just retracting from the bottom of my bed.

I have a King size bed with a solid wood headboard.
with primarily yellow bed spreads

I'm not sure how I could either hide computer w/o suffocating it, I might just build a nightstand around it.

When I start my production I will post some pictures.

Nice system! The only thing I can bang it about is the FX 5600, and thats only if you are a gamer. (if you game a lot I would have got a FX5700 or R9600), just IMO.

Gaming in bed....LOL!

You could do the computer like Knot's Alexis case and use it as a night stand, although this is where making the most silent system possible is going to be key. Think Dynamat and quiet fans. I have an old IBM in the back bedroom I use as an alarm clock and play MP3's on to go to sleep to and the cpu fan is loud as H E double hockey sticks.

Or you could build the computer as a rack mount and mount it under the bed.

I say you sell those parts on Ebay and spend the proceed to woo a girl to spend time in bed with....

[Professor Roxor]

lol, I have that already, no need to woo her anymore.

[Professor Roxor]

Yea, that a good idea Red, but I bought it the part already. I don't have another 1700$ to spend ~

However I will invest in some ultra quiet fans, you guys have any links to some sites?

[ThePianoMan]

i like the monitor/keyboard/mouse arm thing, cool
