Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to share PVCJr's Pictures with you before I head out the door for Frag4. I have detailed measurements and instructions for constructing the frame and other stuff. I will post them once I return from Frag4.

9/29/2000 11:28:00 AM - Pictures and Parts! |
Hi Everyone!
I'm taking pictures of my case RIGHT now as you're reading this.
I'm driving up to Dallas for Frag4 today, so I'm kinda pressed for time :( PVC Jr. isn't as finished as I hoped him to be, but this'll have to do for now… among one of my few dissappointments, I can't fit my Prophet II video card in the case :(. I have an Elsa TNT2 Vanta in it right now. D'oh! And I haven't tried overclocking the computer either yet.
EnV =)

Sorry, no pictures yet, but I can give you the approximate dimmensions of PVC Jr (measurements are without the casters, which I may put on later) Height: 25cm (9.8in) Width: 26cm (10.2in) Depth: 32cm (12.6in) The first thing my fiancee said when she saw the case take shape was "wow, that kinda looks cute!" Hehehe mission accomplished :) PVC Jr. is going to be one sweet LAN Box!!

When I get some more time, maybe I'll doctor this site up and make it prettier, but don't hold yer breath. I'll have the parts list as promised, so hang tight!

After calling just about EVERY computer store in town, I finally found a local store (www.stspc.com) that carried micro-ATX power supplies (and they had only 1 left!). Scott at STS was so friendly and helpful!
I'm starting a new webpage (expect something as eye-candy-less as this page:) for PVC Jr.
You guessed it! Head on over to http://www.envador.com/Photos/PVCJr for PVC Jr. Stuff. Not much will be on there for now, but I had better hurry because Frag 4 is next week.
