    F117A05. All Black, Stealthed A05

    A fairly basic little log, nothing special. ETA for completion is around end of the week. ;) The brief: A small, modestly spec'd, air cooled machine to use until I have the funds to build a proper watercooled high end machine based around the half price GD65 I got a couple of weeks back. The...

    Joining the Z-5500 club.

    I've wanted these speakers for over a year, but i've not had either the money and/or the justification to. My PC is in the living room so a majority of the time i'm limited to heaphones (live with the parents still), BUT the 8 year old Phillips surround sound setup has all but died and the folks...

    ThermoChill PA120.3 Spruce up

    A little side project of mine, pimping out my rad. King of cool after sanding down the side walls and cleaning the fins out. Dont have a proper "before" shot, but it looked how you'd expect a 2nd hand PA to look like (IE not great): Again I forgot to take any pics of it once the brass...

    Just in case you needed any more reasons to avoid OcUK...

    They sell an "overclocked" Q6600 system with 1.7v pumping through the CPU. Absolutely shocking and disgraceful. They essentially sold a system that had severely castrated life expectancy.

    First tattoo!

    Got the outline done today, shading is booked for 10th of next month. Maybe it's because I work in construction and i'm used to inflicting pain upon myself (you've not felt pain until you've hit your fingers full whack with a hammer) but it wasn't near as bad as people kept saying it would be...

    Project: Edge

    I didn't plan of starting this build log until I had something proper to show, but as i've already started doing stuff to the case, why not. Basically i'm going to be using my A71 that i've been trying to sell for weeks now (I know, rather lucky it didn't go in the end). A quick reminder for...

    Prepare for AMD's return to form.

    4Ghz+ on air/water? No problem. 5Ghz+ on Phase/Dry Ice? Piece of cake. 6Ghz+ on LN2? Time to party. http://legitreviews.com/article/836/1/ http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=6455 http://www.custompc.co.uk/news/605226/phenom-ii-overclocked-to-6ghz.html...

    Cypher's stop-gap PC-8.

    Long story short, this build was originally going to be the one in my sig. A fully custom job with internal/external powdercoating, custom laser cut side panel, watercooled crossfire graphics and a SB750 motherboard hopefully helping me overclock my long idle Phenom 9950.... BUT! I've been...

    NZXT Khaos

    I absolutely LOVE the look of this case, I dont even care that it costs the same as a TJ-07, providing theres room at that bracket to mount a rad this is going to be the case for my next build: HotHardware link NZXT Official page
