Sunbeamtech HTPC Acrylic UV Case MOD

2009 build


I built this rig since I want to try an acrylic case. I used my old Pentium 4 for this build. Most of my friends say that the rig is cool but I have a lot of headache maintaining it. Dust is my main enemy here. Since the case is transparent, you can easily see the dust build up inside the case. Another major headache for me is how to do cable management with this case. It is impossible to hide the cables as the chassis is transparent. I ended up selling the chassis after six months to a fellow istoryan.

Benchmarking Windows 7 Beta and how I got a 3 Mbps with PLDT myDSL

Recently I had PLDT myDSL disconnect my account due to late payment of bills. I originally subscribed to 1 Mbps, however as they reconnected my DSL connection, perhaps they had made a mistake in placing my connection to a 3Mbps port on the DSLAM. That makes me one happy customer since I am only paying for a 1 Mbps connection while I am getting 3 times speed that I am paying.


Meanwhile, I managed to download a Windows 7 Beta Version for testing... I got some screenshots. try to take a look.

I have been busy with work so I haven't yet posted since February... my apologies...
