OK finally got some done. Mum has not been well at all. She has a heart condition that whilst apparently not life threatening is making her short of breath. As such I now need to look after her. This doesn't leave much time for me, but it is what it is. She does have an appointment on Thurs...

OK so I tried to upload photos last night but the site was down. I've now done more ! That's all the plastic crap clearanced. Problem is I need to cut a slice in the metal where I have circled in yellow. That needs to be done outside, so can be done tomorrow. PSU is done. And £6.99 got me...

The Ti has always been a card released to get ahead of AMD again. Always. TBH putting Titan on it means they can charge even more for it, so I would imagine they will do that.

lmao. I am amazed at the Dell PSU. See, I could have sworn the BC 250 needed a 12v EPS. But then, that is the problem when you haven't touched one in about two months. I wondered why it needed such a shove. It turns out it is actually a 8 pin PCIE, and how I did not blow it to kingdom come is...

Time to poke the PSU after jump starting it. Fan spins up, light comes on. Do we have 3.3v? We do. How about 5v? Yup, so for all three.... Sweet. That saves me a few bob. I should have had more faith, Dell PSUs are usually excellent.

OK so this is looking like it could be too good to be true lolz. It fits like a glove. I am pretty sure, though, that I will need to solder the wires into the back of it as with a EPS in it will be too tall. Other than that though? looks like minor modding will be needed and a cover plate for...

OK so there has been some downtime on the GECK due to my mate being busy fixing family cars and etc ! The CNC parts are now all complete, so that will resume shortly. However, you will note in that thread that I actually bought two AMD BC 250s. Why? not quite sure, but with hardware prices as...

OK so a quick update before I carry on with the cleaning tidying and etc. CPU is now extremely happy. I loaded up PUBG and it hit like 48c so there's deffo still room for higher clocks. I just need time, something I lack atm. GPU temps are also very good indeed. Mouse is working...

OK so many hours ago I fitted the GPU and connected the power button etc. All went well, apart from me connecting both the LEDs the wrong way around. That is now fixed. All booted OK. I had one final mod to do but wanted all of the OS etc set up first. That is when the fun began...

OK so just know this could have been better. Thing is it doesn't need to be. The biggest issue was the LED holes. I did not have them to measure. I wanted to lay them on their side, hence the square holes, but it did not go to plan. The power button went perfectly. It is counter sunk. I had...

OK mega update ! I got it down around 7pm last night. Put it back into one piece. Fit the PSU Fit motherboard and cooler. Mount cooler. Ross, it did have plenty of clearance in the end. Now it has more airflow haha. Cut oneself, get blood everywhere. Mount top intake fan...

Paint finished and left to harden whilst I came home for a couple of days to sort some things. Fans came in yesterday.

Ooo get down !

OK coat two down. Coverage is now almost complete. Looks shiny, but is indeed satin. I just took the pic as soon as I had done painting so it looks gloss. One more to go.

OK so given 2k is no joke I am well protected lol. Coat one, just a mist coat. Am downstairs because it reeked so bad and I didn't want to sit there masked up lol.
