I did, but it kept popping up with that I couldn't use remote images. So I took the
tags out and posted it up.

It does let me after you have okay'd the thread however! I was going to re add them after you okay'd the thread :D
 
The heat shrink has finally turned up after waiting ages!

I have now finished the 8Pin EPS cable and have moved onto the 24Pin. The only cable I am worried about is the two 6 pin cables as they are passthrough cables and will involve me doing a bit of cable splicing...

The E22 cable clips turned up as well and I have added them to the cables as I am building them, makes things a lot more manageable!

The Case tracking info has arrived. The package was sent out on the 19th and will take about a week to get here. However NCase has upgrade a few peoples postage and I am hoping mine has been too...
 
Here is a bit of an update on the build! All the parts are here except for the Mini SATA to SATA power and the case.

The case was dispatched from Taiwan on the 19th and was in the country on the 22nd. It has then been sat in customs since the 28th... So hopefully!!! It will be here sometime this week!
 
Loving all these smaller builds that are being seen more lately. Some real nice projects coming out. Good luck with the build.

Well this is small! Very small! It is a fair amount smaller than a prodigy! Cant wait to get it and show it off now!
 
The case is going to be here tomorrow! I have just been on the phone to the delivery company and it will be here before midday tomorrow! I cannot wait to see this case now!
 
Okay. here are some case pictures! Hope you like them! Its a lovelly little case! Absolute fingerprint magnet, the amount of times I had to clean this before taking a photo was insane! (maybe pizza isnt a good food to eat while building ;) ) The build quality of this case is insane though! It feels super high end, very reminiscent of my Caselabs! The finish on the case is very much a Lian li style and it is simply beautiful! Everything is tightly compacted into this case to make the most out of it! I bought the one with the slim loading optical drive, so there is a little cut out at the front for it!
