Mod bug is biting me in the ass
« on: Tue, 31 May 2016, 17:48:31 »
So I've got a plebware x51(freshman self thought it was a good idea)

I haven't followed computer news until this week. And I've learned that the 970 draws 145w of powah. This is tempting because my 660 draws 140w and I have some headroom. But mod bug is biting me now for the fact that I have a handy dandy dremel and want moar fans.

But then I've got an ubuntu partition and I'm all over the place learning linux. Who needs the outside world. Screw all that.

I would just run it with open chassis and not waste the money on fans..

No female ever visits the Tp4-CommandCenter anyways..

Ubuntu is just the beginning (for some people). Configuring a Conky took me forever (three days off and on is forever)!

But I have a kitty kat. No bueno.
Now, if it were mounted somewhere I know he wouldn't go, I wouldn't worry. Now you've got me wanting to experiment with open case vs a hole with a mesh guard. Don't care for leds anyway.

At this point I'm just messing around with ubuntu and don't want to have to deal with having to reinstall because starting college this school year and would nervous at this point to get risky with fancy things.

Conky is just system monitoring software. I think there is a Conky Manager package that does all the configuring for you but it wouldn't take with my older hardware so I have to configure it all myself. Nothing that will brick an OS AFAIK.

Best way to do this, is to get one of those $20  corsair cases..

Then just swap everything in..

I don't think cutting into the x51 case is a good idea.. it's got a plastic panel outside the inner metal panel,  the cut's gonna look crummy if you do this with a dremel..

Well being that there was like 2 or replies that were on topic, this sounds like the average highschooler conversation. Which by now I'm used to I suppose?

I would go and buy a new case for $20..  Save you alot of trouble.. and it'll work much better and cooler than the x51 case..
