My current computer

I've added one more photo of my computer where you could see how it looked now. Yes, I am still using VIA VT-310DP. Yes, sometimes it seems slow like a hell :). However, I can't find anything interesting enough for me to change it. I can still do almost everything on it except watching some heavy HD videos. Fedora 9 showed that it could manage much more videos than in Windows. Anyway, this thread is not about performance.



You can see how it is assembled now. Two CPUs are under the default heatsink, however, default cpu fan is changed with Titan TFD-4020M12B 40x40mm cooler. I also changed cooler in a PSU (an old one became very loud), so you can see black, red and white wires coming from it and attached to motherboard. Though motherboard does not support SATA II hard drives I bought WD Caviar GP 750GB where were two pins for changing mode to SATA I. One more 160 GB HD is hidden on the bottom of the case. I still use discrete GeForce 6200 PCI video, however, sometimes I am thinking that it does not have any advantages against integrated one for my current purposes. DVD optical drive is LG GSA-4163B. Creative Sound Blaster Connect serves for sound (you can't see it in this picture). This is it. Enjoy and wait for new processors in my collection (they should arrive soon).
