enermax

A few years back I bought a case for my desktop at home. I wanted the case with the most space, strongest power supply I could find. I ended buying a full tower case from a company called Enermax. It cost me a fortune. At the time an average case was about 100NIS or a little more. I paid for my case more than a 1000NIS. It was worth it. I was able to stick in all the SCSI hard drives that I collected over the years: while everyone were buying 80GB hard drives my system had 48GB total spread over 9 hard drives :-) I put the most capable motherboard I could find (and had to beg to get it from a friend that didn't have anything to do with it), lots of memory. Even though not liking windows and trying to stay away from it, I ended up installing windows XP as it's primary OS (boooo ;-)) I loved that box so much that even though it was built from old (and sometime obsolete) hardware it was a very capable computer. I wanted to give it to my neighbor's kids when I left Israel, but they found it hard to operate (the hard drives were prone to fail once in a while) so they gave it to a friend of theirs that declared it a piece of junk.
I went to buy a super computer last Friday for my new business. On the face of it the hardware specs were impressive. But when I saw the case I didn't care about the hardware specs inside (those can be replaced anyhow). It's the same case I had on my computer at home in Israel :-) The same Enermax case.

Sweet ;-)
