This will be a minor update, just wanted to tell a funny story about me and rivets and our (thus far) tumultuous relationship. So, it’s just taken me 4 hours to get a single pop rivet into the front of my case. Why? Because Stanley was kind enough not to include any kind of documentation with...

So while I'm waiting for a few other things to come in, I figured I'd cut up my case and install a fillport. I ran into a problem while removing rivets in order to remove the bottom hard drive cage. Hopefully someone out there knows what I should use. I was following Mr. Armageddon's...

New update, and it’s a doozy. Yeah, I just used the word “doozy” in a sentence. Does that make me gay? Kind of, yeah…. Anyway, I found my solution for a hub. I dropped by a local electronics store and when I was walking to the register I saw a wall full of these things. Most had 4 inputs...

Update 9/23/10: Ideas and Arrivals Between yesterday and today a ton of stuff showed up. I got my cordless drill, riveter & rivets, 3 cooler master R4s (not sure if they’ll be used in the final build), Blue Primochill LRT 7/16” ID 5/8” OD, USB Hub (a proper one), Dremel Straight Edge and...

And there's more. I'm getting a ton of stuff done today. Finally finished painting the 360 rad. The same rad I ran over with my car! You can see the bend that I've tried to coax back into place several times, to no avail. It's still airtight, hopefully it'll be alright in the case. I also tried...

I have updates. I got my the sickest 53" tripod EVAR for $7.99 ;) plus like $8 shipping. Thing is, I'd like to be able to take pics like Laine and oliverw28 but I can't afford a dSLR. :( So I got this amazing tripod instead. Seriously the ingenuity built into this thing. There's a quick release...

UPDATE: Sleeving FC6 Leads So as I said in the first post I've spent a lot on sleeving over the past few months, since I was reluctant to pay the premium for MDPC sleeve. So much so that I've had to get a bin to store all the sleeve in: The only good sleeve I did find in my frenzy of...

Another update. Found my second EK bracket hiding in my closet, and really wanted my 3rd display back which meant draining (for the first time in a live loop) and refilling. All went smoothly (I think) aside from sustaining a minor injury while using a pliers to pull a 1/2" barb from a 7/16"...

Updates So first I did some leak testing. Because I didn't want to cut up my Primochill Black any more than was necessary I used a small piece of clear. It was showing a lot of bubbles even after bleeding as best I could. Do you guys know how to get rid of that? Next I used my Raven RV02...

MDPC sleeving arrived today, did some leak testing overnight.

Had to mod the dualbay to fit it in the 800D: I realize it's upside down. Just a mockup really... Also worked on some cable management and cleaned up. All those wires will be off the floor sometime between now and sunday night.

So here's how the room was 3 months ago: And here's how it is now: Here's the stuff that's been delivered: The Beast I'll be working with: And I'm still waiting on some parts. SteelSeries 7G (Ordered today in FS) Automatic Wire Stripper Dremel Straight Line and Circle Guide Digital...

Golem is Yiddish for monster. So I’ve been in the planning stage of a new project for about 2-3 weeks. During that time I’ve looked at literally hundreds of worklogs and purchased a number of products (Thank you college grant money). I wasn’t originally intending to do a worklog but in an...

that doesn't have 5760x1080 perf numbers

Is this true?!
