People greatly underestimate the importance and the difference a high quality chain makes... can make pedaling so much easier and enjoyable!

Going for a KMC X11SL Chain Gold on my new build.

 

Another Lian Li V1000, this time in black for £17...

Thats two 1000's and one 1100 for a total of £53

 

Where the hell are you getting these?!

 

Black or white?

 

Black, wouldn't match the rest of my kit and I'm sure when I get round to changing a few of the keys they'll look better against the black board.

 

eBay good sire. There is a company selling Lian Li's every so often but simply call them 'Aluminium PC case' - but the pictures show them as Lian Li's and the two that've been delivered so far have shown up in unopened boxes. So im rather chuffed.

You can get things like a PC6070 for £25 or so when they pop up

 

Christ.. Think I'm going to have to keep an eye out on eBay more often!

 

A 343B went for £36 the other day..

I'm just sticking them in the cupboard for a raining day of modding

 

Why not mod them all together and make the watercooling tower of all watercooling towers?

 

Asdfghjkl! Maximum jealousy mode engaged Nice purchase GOO, health to enjoy it What are the specs on this little lady then? Coincidentally I just did an engineering exam yesterday on manufacturing processes, one whole section of which was dedicated to milling! You know; feed rates, feed speeds, spindle speeds, material removal rate, tool lifetime, spindle power requirements, machine efficiency... All the most boring stuff there is to know about milling. Just let me turn something already! One of the things I fully intend on doing when I move to larger premises is put in a machine shop. I won't need anything fancy to begin with - just having a full size pillar drill, jigsaw, bandsaw and a small lathe beats sending everything out to third parties for every little bit of machine work that has to be done!

 

Finally made the jump to an SSD and bought a Crucial M4 256GB. Also, a 5mm green LED, 3mm green LED, 1.5M of Soldamop, 5M of 5mm black cable sleeving and 1.2M of black heat shrink.

 

Very nice, I'm about to get a SSD soon too. But I think I'm going to go with a 128Gb, since I'm only going to be installing Windows 7, a few apps and a few games, all the other programs/games will be on a mechanical drive.

 

Fun fact: I get through almost 5m of soldamop every couple of weeks

 

Bought myself a 16-25 Railcard, w00t

Sam

 

They really are great.

I wonder if they stack, I might get another one.

 

Finally :


PC-Q08, i5-3570k, P8Z77-I Deluxe, 12 and 14cm Air penetrators, NH-L12 and 2x8GB GSkill Ares RAM. Add to that my already owned Seasonic X-750, Gainward Phantom GTX570, Corsair F120 and Windows 7 Home Premium - and the ITX gaming PC is ready for build.

 

That motherboard box looks really dated, but that already looks like it's going to be one killer gaming system in a tiny case. Good luck with the cable routing! - Remember to OC on that motherboard, Asus made a big thing about the fact you apparently could!

 

The box looks fine, it is just some strange "effect" which make it look like that on the photo. More pics there :

Just got me one of these for my Euro road trip with the Evo boys to the Nurburgring and SPA Francorchamps next week (excited much!!) Hoping to get some nice 1080p Goodness

 

Gaarrrrgghhhh - Too much jealousy to express on one page! Nice one Rob, you picked a great camera!

I'd give my right nut for a trip to the ring in something Japanese with more than 350 bhp and awd It's really time I got started on Mr GT4
