Ace, when you get a few extra speed machines laying around, and they're in the way, don't forget your old buddy, the redneck. Feel free to send me one of you slower ones.....hehe....

I'll settle for top 50. 

I don't. It would be hard to do so anyhow. I think during shipping the top got a huge dent so there is no way to install anything in the top slot. The side has 3 holes cut into it for fans that I do not have. So I going to use the case for a side project involving the old Pentium 4. Maybe a file server. Thank for the links, I will look into it.

I'll settle for a turtle. It'll probably leave my lappy in the dust.

change of mind.

That's a panel beater's job... get out the rubber mallet, somebody... in the trade, and knock that friggin' dent out for kona.

Seriously, my sister had an old tower years ago that had some missing front panels, and what she did was cut out some plastic facsimilies from an ice cream container and taped them in place with some tape from the inside.  It didn't look too bad for an improvised solution, neither.. and it kept the dust out/noise in.

As for the dent, get a block of wood and a hammer, turn the case upside down [before you put anything in it] and panel beat the dent out, using the wood in between so as not to leave hammer blows... then if you get a ROM drive it'll slip right in there.  Just a thought, cos the Thermaltake case would be better for airflow and cooling, etc.

Well....the tower & board, as I had stated early on, was from a previous build that I had done a couple years ago. I was still on a learning curve and doing a little self customization in my shop to modify and improve the cooling capabilities of the tower. Yes, it had lots of fans and I had to create openings for those fans , and the front panel had alot of optical drives. Over time, those little slot covers got missplaced , but a tower is a tower. As my system building improved, that particular setup got shelved in the back of my storage closet and just sat there collecting dust until now. I'm sorry it doesn't look store bought now, but in my world, that's not what is important. If you're worried about dust, do what I do, and believe me, after all my years of experience I should know....use what is called a " Swiffer Duster" You've probably seen them advertised on T.V. and they are absolutely hands down, the best way to quickly and effectively rid the inside of your system of dust without the dangers and hassles involved with a vacuum & and it is great for removing the dust from those pesky little fan blades. You can now buy them at any Walmart store.It's the only thing I ever use to keep my systems spotless. As a side note, the more openings you have on a tower, the bettor off you are. Free flow of air current is absolutely essential if you really want to keep hot air dissipated. Using the swiffer duster occasionally only takes a few moments.      -- Ace --

An added note here: If there are some that are not aware of it, using a vacuum to clean your system is very dangerous. A vacuum creates static electricity because of the extreme air flow created across surfaces. You should never , ever, use a vacuum near your tower.           -- Ace --

I know you will say to use the Thermaltake case Starkers. It just needs some work. I'll look into it soon. Thanks!

Someone got an answer on this one? I think it's creepy.

your facebook pics may be in a hidden file on your pc, as cookies or such would be to speed up loading, kind of a prefetch?just a guess though, no inside knowledge or outside for that matter!

I doubt that theory very much Doortech since this was on a fresh install of Windows 8 and I had not gone to Facebook yet. None of my pictures were on the hard drive Windows 8 was loaded on nor did it ave access to any pictures on my other hard drive.

No theory, just intermittent rambling that got typed!

Could it be that your Administrator name and the one you use on Facebook are the same. Maybe the OS did a search through favorites or something like that and browsed them like an organizer would. Mine is just a guess too. Otherwise no clue.

See, I told you that damn blasted Facebook has eyes and ears on everything... nearly as bad as Google, me thinks.

So, here's what happened!  First, Facebook's facial recognition/data matching saw you in a downtown store and linked you up with your Facebook account, Microsoft accounts and Google's, tied the whole thing together and zap, bang wallop, there you are, reading all about yourself on Win 8 and viewing personal photos you never even knew you had taken... then maybe you didn't. 

Yup, the sneaky bastards are everywhere.  That's why I always cover my face when entering stores and the like... and never use public toilets.  You just never know when Google and Facebook are in there.

Nah, seriously, I don't have an answer for you.  The only answer that would sort of ring with some credibility is if you activated the Facebook app and entered all your account details.  But you say you've not done that so it's a mystery to me, me old mate.  Hopefully you get to the bottom of it soon, cos yeah, it would be a privacy concern to me as well.

Yeah I haven't used the Facebook app yet and I certainly did NOT enter my credentials to log on to Facebook. My Facebook was setup using my Gmail account and I haven't entered my Gmail account info anywhere within Windows 8.
