Pyro's Custom Built Rig

In one little corner of the universe, there's nothing more irritating than a misfile...

@SnowGlobe gonna go check that video out his name sounds familiar... is that the guy that used to be on tech tv with the ponytail and glasses?

Lol I have something close to that now... my "media pc" has a Firefly boot screen (seriously I made it custom myself) instead of the WindowsXP loader, a Firefly desktop, Firefly screensaver and quicklinks to every episode (and the movie Serenity and bonus tracks on the DVD special edition) on the desktop so Firefly goodness is just a click away... It even plays a custom audio clip that I pieced together from the theme song when I turn it on and the bit "have no place I can be since I found Serenity, but you can't take the Sky from meeeee" when I shut it down.
![]() And if you think that is over the top... I also replaced most of the windows sounds with Firefly quotes too, if the system ever has a critical fail (program crashes) River says... " Also, I can kill you with my brain" hehe. Yeah you could say I'm a browncoat. ![]() |
As for the monitors, I can totally understand having six... I would definitely not say no to having six.... But then again, my rig would probably implode and create a wormhole if I asked it to think about running two monitors. lol

all this love for Firefly.... Not that I blame you. I'm a big Joss Whedon fan. From Buffy to Angel to Firefly to Dollhouse... He's done good stuff! And it's fun how all his characters seem to intermingle between all his shows. heh

Monitors are like women - More is better.
Also, I may not know what to do with six at once but I'd have fun trying to find a way to keep them all busy...

Monitors are like women, eh? You mean they always have smudged fingerprints and dust on them?

Provide a gorgeous view when turned on? (yeah that's right I said it )
You can watch them all day and not feel you've wasted time?
Have lots of fun buttons to push...
I could go on.
Pyro, patience is a virtue, but then again those who wait are suckers.
I went ahead and got all my errands done yesterday since CR said that there might be a chance for delivery today. So about an hour ago, while watching ESPN, I slipped of into a catnap slumber...only to be woken by the wonderful, yet startling sound of the doorbell.
I jumped up, still not fully awake, and threw open the front door!... ...to see a little girl that lives down the street. She had made my wife a Santa face (out of a paperplate and cotton balls). Gaaaahhhhh!!!! |
Nothing like a little antici............
<say it!>
....pation.

So no luck today then?
Oh and by the way you will get another "surprise" about 39 seconds after the first time you push the power button. Mwhahaha.
Nope better than that. Something anyone on this forum would really appreciate regardless of if they even know what Firefly is.
Although I think that it's pretty awesome (the firefly music) on my rig I don't presume to makeover other peoples machines to apeal to my tastes.
I either add touches that are unique to recipients taste or leave the defaults for them to set up as they wish. In short no windows sounds were changed (harmed?) in the making of this machine.
Having just said the above, I did pick you out a desktop pic... it's not the 39 sec surprise I am referring to above but another "separate" surprise I think you will love too.
Didn't think setting a desktop pic for you was going to far as
1. it takes two seconds to change your desktop image to something else
2. I have a feeling you would want to see this.
3. I think it is very suited to your taste... and it's totally unique (meaning since it was custom done by me I know no one else's computer has anything like it ).
4. The desktop is just a pic of the, lets call it "the item" and if/when you change the pic "the item" will still remain. The pic is just to showcase it.
Where was I going with this... oh yeah it's not firefly music but it's a surprise that comes right after the other surprise which comes after the initial surprise when you first take it out of the box which is before the... ummm you'll see/hear/experience what I mean soon enough. lol
Yeah can't say too much more as I am getting way ahead of myself (and you for that matter lol) in the "surprises" department already but glad to see I cleared that confusion right up... Ahem.
Remeber they are shipping record amounts of stuff this year and things can come at odd hours.
I had a box of parts I was expecting at noon show up at 7:45pm long after I assumed it wasn't coming.
Granted it was UPS and I'm not sure of the delivery times for the USPS but I still hope you receive it today.
Besides if you don't I probably owe your mom five bucks or something... {>. >}
she had emailed me some computer questions and I mentioned in the reply that I was shipping your pc out
and she said you wouldn't receive it before Christmas... and I was like yeah-hunh and she was all like nuh-unh
and so I busted out the Kung-Fu and... and...
ok it didn't go down quite like that... but still I'm hoping you get your custom pc and stuffz.
Come on USPS go FTW!
OMG! OMG! OMG! It's here!!!!
I'll be back after while...to show you! |
Whooopeeee!!
Congrats on the new precious....

Have fun Pyro, Merry Fishmas, just try not to pee your pants with excitement when you get started.
I is getting uber jealous, and realizing buying a gaming laptop was a stupid waste of my money. Should've just ought a netbook and external hard drive and saved the rest of my money for a nice powerhouse. Time to start saving up so the next thread can be about my machine.

YES! Awesome buddy, I'm happy you got it in time for the holidays. All that extra effort now feels worth it.
Plus now your mother owes me $5 heh.
A friend of mine asked me how much memory was on the old hard drive, and when I right click on the "C Drive" is says = Capacity: 37.2 GB. He laughed and hung up the phone. Called back, and said "sorry, had to pee before I laughed it in my pants...you're kidding right?"
I wasn't. =( |
37.2 Gigabytes? HAHAHA.
Not anymore pal with more than 1.7 TB (yes that means over 1,700 gigs
![EEK!](images/smilies/eek.gif)
(internal and external) you can call that guy back and tell him you now measure storage in TERABYTES cuz that's how you roll...
...measuring storage in gigabytes is so 5 minutes ago.

Awwwww yay for Pyro! And don't feel too bad about your old system... it did the trick for a while. Of course now it can go in the lake next to mine... when I actually get up the balls to throw mine in the lake... it's gonna happen, just wait!
When you're done overdosing on awesome computery goodness, be sure to tell us all the nifty surprises in big bold and caps and extra fun stuff to showcase how high you are on electronics!

This is my version of a windows "Blue Screen"... the good kind though.
My Media PC booting with both monitors turned on.
I can email you the startup music I made if you want ta hear it.
@SnowGlobe gonna go check that video out his name sounds familiar... is that the guy that used to be on tech tv with the ponytail and glasses?
@Pyro, Confucius say if desk is too small for dual (or triple) monitor goodness then get a bigger desk... ok that's not a direct quote but you get the idea.

I will settle this. ORANGE FTW! - Ex Libris
