    I get free delivery anyway for being a Hexus member. But I hadn't spent £20 that order...

    Anyway - I've taken your advice and posted it there!

    Starting to get annoyed with Imagebam. It keeps randomly losing images...

    UPDATE TIME!!!
    It's about time I posted something but imagebam are properly peeving me off!!! So I've got some new images to share... and will be looking at doing my own hosting (I've got some hosting equipment and public IP range at home that I can use if I can be bothered to set it up).

    I had some packages arrive at work :D

    [​IMG]
    Oooo a nice little package from ChilledPC...

    [​IMG]
    And a box from Specialtech!!!

    The box from Specialtech though was some what chilly?

    [​IMG]
    A quick look inside to find some awesome goodies!!!

    ...and some frozen liquid *face palm*

    A quick call the guys at Specialtech who check with Mick @ Mayhems and confirmation that the fluid should be ok to use once it defrosts but if there's any issues with it or I'm unhappy to do so to send it back for a replacement. Awesome services! :D

    What about the other package Bex!?

    Patience children! I'll get to that in a moment!

    Once I got home (which was late) we decided to have a delicious kebab XD

    [​IMG]
    Om nom nom! Castle Special Kebab! (all the mixed meats)

    So lets open that other package eh?

    [​IMG]
    Some el-neato braid and heat shrink! (and some more screws)

    [​IMG]
    The guys at ChilledPC even threw in some samples of the other colours I queried! CHEERS GUYS! :D

    [​IMG]
    Got my (now defrosted) fluid and fan controller out the box

    [​IMG]
    As you can see the fan controller is an official sealed Lamptron branded controller - NOT the fake GVANS brand that has been going around. I know some people were remarking at Specialtech's ultra low price of the controller but it's the real deal (and a real BARGAIN!!!)

    [​IMG]
    Not quite the Koolance blocks I wanted but I need to save some pennies for the new house :)

    [​IMG]
    And my partner Mike double checking Steve's counting skills, making sure I have all 160 rubber washers XD

    I need to get photos up of the paint work so far...

    These are my colour references!
    Mmmmm veyron....

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Now I was worried the grey/black I had might have been the wrong colour, but a quick test spray looked a good match. I'm still not sure about the orange (which needs another coat) but I don't think it's dark enough...

    [​IMG]
    What do you guys think?

    My Lamptron FC9 though... I'm very disappointed with quality control... The "white" is cyan and the knobs are squint (I know that may be natural in the male world but in the world of expensive hardware I'd expect it to be perfect!)

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    As you can see the knobs are squint / stick out unequal distances...

    But I did test it on my Kaze and Delta and bar some light ticking (which at a distance you can't hear anyway) it's really smooth on the voltage control. Real test is when I have chains of 6x Kazes on there!!!

    ...and also - after all the nonsense trying to find a solutiont o dampen my fans my fiance says my kaze's are quiet after enduring overclocking sessions with dual 4000RPM Deltas running at max *face palm*

    Guys - I KNOW how to use photobucket but by using large images it unfortunately kills my bandwidth and so far other unlimited bandwidth hosting I use likes to "lose" my images / insist I use thumbnails.

    So please don't patronise me about image links - I'm not going to re-upload everything again to please though who refuse to click an image...

    Well, I didn't mean to offend you.

    Btw, if you are looking into hosting yourself you might think about the bandwith problem again...

    Yeah I know... I've got a web hosting box at home I could use but I just CBA setting it up just now because I may be moving soon and my public IP range would go (it's compliments of work atm)

    Well this is still going but I'm on hold a bit due to my partner and I buying a new house together and getting married in September. I did manage to wire up 70% of my radiator fans this weekend but I've broken on wire and I can't find my soldering iron to fix it :(

    Bit-tech has its own image album service if you look under your 'User CP' :)
