Some of these:


To replace some of these:


SE102s to replace my 3 year old cracking up E2Cs; I don't like change

 

Nice move! I think the Swift is probably the best small car around at the moment. When the Micra dies that is definitely going to be it's replacement.

+rep for good taste in small cars.


All you have to do now is replace your own car with a Mustang and you'll have demonstrated perfect taste in cars

 

Is that a heatsink on your motherboard or is it just really happy to see me? ^^

No seriously, you have no idea. Pics don't do it justice. The X58 classified heatsink is a beast!

[edit]

Bought a sausage & bacon breakfast baguette on my way home from my first call this morning. It's going to be a long one so I needed some man-fuel Om nom nom

 

Now I'm a big fan of the mustang, but taste? hmm

It was actually on my short list ('Stang, 370Z, 135i, Z4M coupe are the ones I seem to recall mulling over the most), but was the first to go because my stupid head kept pointing out things like MPG, sheer size of it, wrong-side drive etc. You clearly have far better control over the common sense section of your brain, and for that sir, I commend you

 

Unicorn's on the money. The NB on the classified boards get quite toasty - hence the quite frankly annoying huge heatsink.

 

It's no problem for me, I have a full cover EK block on it

 

Watercooling will be on the next system (I have to pop my watercooling cherry sometime)!

 

Just got the delivery today for my new case, courtesy of SpeedLegion in the For Sale forum.



Upgrading from an Elite 330, so lots more space... I can finally install my 5850 Twin Frozr!
(The poor card has been sitting in a cupboard since November)

 

I remember when I got a Cosmos, it looked like I could've fitted my previous case inside it! Cable routing is a bit parp but it's flippin' huge!

 

I'm planning to add one or two custom routing holes to help with the cable management.

Tempted to look into the possibility of modifying that GPU airflow support panel to route a cable or two out of sight, not sure who well it would work but a bit of SketchUp fun should answer that.

 

Bit of a spending splurge this week so far

Four of these


Two lots of these


And a new torque wrench after shearing the head off mine



I will get round to buying some PC bits or saving at some point rather than spending it on the car

 

So, you couldn't find the locking wheel nut adapter then?

I was half expecting you to have put a picture up of an angle grinder!

 

no i found it, i snapped the head so it just span all the time not impressed. but hey ho

 

600W Switchmode PSU
Woo finally have a decent Bench supply.

5V 70A
12V 18A
12V 10A

And I think the 2 12V rails can be connected for a 24V Supply.

 

6 inch 24 pin ATX PSU extender cable. matx in Antec 902

 

I bought some of this:

 

I now have a craving for spicy beef jerky..

 

Pretty well actually, I was amazed that it could run portal at the lowest settings and almost play fallout new vegas. It streams youtube no problem and has an hdmi out plug. I think it only has mono speakers, not stereo, I can't hear the difference cause it's soo small.

 

5 litres of oil
5 litres of antifreeze
A new head gasket kit

 

0,5 l vodka
12 beers

Happy Fridays.
