    Ah, those were the days when I had triops. Well they were until one badass one ate all the others.

    £7.35 for a student ticket, on an over 18 showing to see The Dilemma. I went with 3 friends, so they got just under £30 from us 4 alone...

    You're absolutely right Pookey.

    You need to go back and re-read my last few posts on this. I have been working on this sale for almost 2 months. The amount of time and effort that I have already spent designing the case and going through specifications and designs with the guy has thus far gone unpaid. I tried my best to sell him on going for the better spec'd system but he was having none of it. I'm not going to turn around after weeks and weeks of discussions and tell him that I won't build the machine with an X6 CPU because I think it's the wrong choice. His money, his decision. As nchhabs said, I showed him all the options, all the figures and he settled on the 1055T CPU provided I can overclock it for him and I agreed that when finished with his chosen component list, the system will play all the games that he told me he wanted it to run at high detail and it also has some headroom for new games too. The guy buys a new PC off me every 2-3 years anyway. I ain't complaining...

    And the case is not customized. It's a scratch build. Raw aluminium goes in, one of a kind PC case comes out.

    I keep as few parts in stock as possible. PC components lose value too fast for me to keep money tied up in stuff on the shelf. I usually buy components and materials as I need them. Keep spares of some things like optical drives, hard drives and occasionally a couple of PSUs but that's about all.

    Yeah sure, I can upload some to the modding section once I get the chassis built and painted. That will of course be once the skimlinks have been removed from bit-tech. My decision to postpone posting any work logs or modding entries here stands until they are gone. See //this post for full explanation.

    CA P90!

    Decided a long time ago playing with full size AEGs is not my game. I like to move fast/hide/creep all of which are near impossible with a 1:1 scale replica of a rifle and even most SMGs are a nightmare to run around with. Could have picked up a pistol but like most people I find it quite expensive to keep running with gas and they always seem to get sold within a week as I have particular taste in pistols and order them in from afar and everyone makes me ridiculous offers. I guess it makes sense, very short, light and when indoors I can hide in dark corners and play my usual 'wait for 2/3 guys to pass, leave a welt on their backsides and progress'. Only a matter of time before I have a stubby silencer w/ extended barrel on there or perhaps a tracer unit.

    Go for dual P90s, and then spray and pray.

    Although that's a lot of BBs.

    And I would have to reload with my teeth.....don't get me wrong I'm game for that but with P90 magazines that could be problematic to say the least :p

    5 mini doughnuts, 6 cans of ginger beer and a spicy jerk chicken sandwich from Waitrose.

    The sandwich is pretty much the best one I can find anywhere.

    How's the RoF/Kickback (if any) on this, Canon?

    Aint been tested yet but out of the box guesstimate ROF would sit around 800-900 rounds per min with the stock battery, however when upgrades are done and lipo is in I would expect around 1200 at least. As with most AEGs not really a kickback on it, just the feeling of the mechanisms vibrating the externals a little. Going to take a look at what parts I may need to get it running as quiet as possible.



    I've easily spent >£1k on EBB :D
