    Thanks for the nomination. I'll do my best.

    Package arrived. Motherboard only so I assembled some parts.

    Congratulations.:D
    -So you post a part with a single hole in it... I see what you did there.:D
    Now that I think about it, that's probably a good pace. You are a notoriously fast builder, and stretching things out so you get 2 months of logs might be better.

    Honestly, I'm not dragging my feet. I'm trying to finish up another project (but you knew that). :D

    lol.....well it's been more than four days so....there's that. Might need to step it up a little just to keep up with the others.

    I'm glad someone enjoyed that. If you can't have fun with it why bother?

    ***************************************

    I like to start off my scratch-builds at the I/O plate.

    Can you hear that CNC machine running? Me neither.

    Good thing I follow you at facebook, otherwise I would have totally missed Flightline. :)

    Can't wait to see what you have planned for this one! :thumb:

    Awesome work on the I/O plate. It looks machine made. The ROI on those needle files must be insane :hehe:

    I am saddened to announce that I'm out. Life's circumstances have forced me to abandon this project. I apologize. I have contacted Antony and Intel asking for a return address or somewhere else to forward the kit. Again...sorry.

    That is definitely sad indeed. I was much looking forward to this one. But, I think we can all understand; Life happens.

    Best wishes my friend.

    Bummer. I hope it's simply a matter of you being busy, and not some kind of setback. Be well and stay happy.

    Things happen, things get postponed, but the spirit lives on! Hope everything works out and hope to see you back in action in the future.

    Oh no! I was really looking forward to seeing how your design panned out, if it had been like any of your previous works it would have been brilliant. I echo the sentiments above also, these things happen to everybody, and with a tight deadline like this, there's not much wiggle room. Best of luck for the future man, heck maybe you could make it another time, it's a classic design for sure.

    Disappointed as others have said - was really looking forward to this one! Never mind - these things happen and I'm sure Intel and I will sort thing out! Hope all is okay anyway!
