Sean’s Summer 2008 Build: “Manticore”

P1010650

Old parts out...

P1010651

New parts in all their glory. Antec Three Hundred case next to the eVGA 8800GS

P1010652

P1010654

eVGA 8800GS, a cost-effective performer.

P1010653

P1010655

Antec Three Hundred front

P1010656

Old case on the left, new case on the right. The Three Hundred made for a small size increase.

P1010657

Three Hundred actually has a nice build inside, this picture does it no justice.

P1010658

Donated parts mixed in with new parts—all freshly installed, ready for first power-on test.

P1010659

Here's a closer look, note that the Three Hundred adopts the bottom mounted power supply approach.

P1010660

A very close look to examine the video card's clearance.

P1010663

Power-on checks out, and the Windows XP OS switched from Sean's old nForce3 to the newer nForce4 with nary a complaint!

P1010661 P1010662

P1010664

Grats Sean!  Well done!

    Thank you very much Kit. I couldn’t have put it together without you. The Manticore has served me without flaw through the end of summer, and I have no doubt that it will continue to rock on into winter.

    New
    Sleek
    Powerful

    …deadly…
