Project: shut up and be quiet!

Looking absolutely gorgeous!
I love how you have the patience to do things like Memory lettering etc..
Sadly, I dont :(

Looking forward to seeing how the build progresses
 
Very nice work! Kudos on the patience and attention to detail that lettering looks awesome. I think an anodized orange paint on the EK logo would look nice just for the metallic texture but if the whole monoblock is wrapped vinyl may also suit.
 
Thanks all for the kind words :D


damn it! I thought I had seen spare stickers but couldn't see them when I put my order in with EK!! I will email them now see if they can get me some sent out today!

Thanks dude!

*edit* now I have the EAN I can find them in the UK! OcUK have them in stock so that is a winner!


In other news this is what I spent all night doing, I can't wait to go to bed *yawn*

As always I like to either make my own extensions or make a new set of modular cables, so it was time for me to get out my box of goodies.

The first thing I made was the 24 pin ATX. This is actually 23 pins one end and 28 pins the other, so I knew I was gonna be in for a few double wires.

The first job was to measure and cut the wire (notice I use white and black wire, the white for the orange and the black for the black, this means any cable bleed won't matter :) )

Then crimp on the new terminals.

Then sleeve all the wires, and grab a new 24 pin connector and a 20 + 8 pin connector for the PSU end

I needed to make 5 double wires in the end and I also made a dummy wire for the missing pin on the 24 pin connector

Once I had put them all into the connectors, we ended up with this:

Once I had done these, it was only around 3 AM, so I thought I would do the GPU, kinda forgetting that the GPU has another 24 cables...grrrr

I just did exactly the same as before, 3 double wires this time (one for each connector) and ended up with this:

I won't be plugging in the 24 pin motherboard cable yet, but the GPU cable is in, not bad IMO:

So, that is it for a little while, I am back at work now for another 3 nights =( once I do get back it will be 4 days until I have to take the rig to I57 :D. I know I know, it is unusual for me to leave things until the last minute!

Thanks guys!

Yeah I had to ditch the quick go on GTA, it is always nice to pop on and have a chat with you guys though... Except Laurie ofc.

I will be busy over the next week so I am ready for ISeries but I will try and make a point of having a bit more gaming time soon =)

He deserves an infraction then imo :D

Nah I had to bail, the missus came home from work, made me dinner and then my serbian friends wanted play some CS:GO. Spanked them around a bit then went into 'crap I am back at work tomorrow and havn't done anything on the build and it has to be finished in a week ' mode.

I'm away from home for the next 3 nights, but i have started on the tubing now. I just need to find one of my radiators and hunt down my box of SSDs that seems to have gone missing (No doubt they are together)!
 
Yeh mostly low sizes, 120 and 240gb and most modded in some way for the builds that they were in. But I have around 15 in a box.. Somewhere... I know there are 2 x 1tb Samsung drives in there which I wouldn't mind finding but for this build I will chuck a few HyperX Savage in, HyperX is love, HyperX is life.

Feeling the SSD love, inappropriate touching and everything.

That's it, no more Davido love from me!

Build looks like a 5 year old did it! I will admit it may be a mildly talented 5 year old, but that's the best your getting!
