As expected, Polarity is coming along wonderfully Oli! btw: I added your Blog link to mine, http://www.casemodblog.com
Mapex puts out good stuff. Had a hat pedal I'd die to get back. Swivel footboard. swing it to the right to engage Kick pedal for Dbl bass fun on single drum I miss her! Love the cymbals too. I'm on a Tama kit now w/ A. custom Zs. Was that a Strat in your shot? Also, your hiding something in the background
I'll try and find the CD of the band playing at the Montreux Jazz Festival Thanks Bill! That pedal sounds sooo much fun Yeah it is a 1983 Japanese blue sunburst strat: Crafter Congress 5 string fretless bass: And the other bass on the far right is a Crafter Cruise 5 string fretted bass:
Sweet! Nice finish on that strat. Five string bass, a bonus! Looks like you take good care them. Look forward to you next update.
Thanks The 5 string fretless is my baby The other 5 string hasn't had as much care (i have had it sine i was 13 so it has been around a bit and has a few little marks etc - hell, it has been on tour to 5 different countries! Thanks
Wow Oli your life sounds really busy, reminds me of how much of an underachiever I am lol , good thing you have that nice cottage to relax at , you have many talents m8 , the mods coming along nicely, keep it up m8 .
This project is absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to see the finished product I'm sure it will look superb!
Update #18 - 23/07/2010 I spy with my little eye... a table! Ehm i mean a box with MSI on it. More table! Oh wait, Big Bang Xpower! Inside the packaging are two boxes - one with the board in and one with accessories. I can't fault them for the sheer amount of accesories you get! - X-Fi Quantum Wave Sound card - MSI OC Dashboard (overclocking display) - 2x Xfire bridges, 2x SLI bridges - Plethora of SATA data/power cables - A load of USB and eSata backplanes - Several massive manuals Here is the sound card Not sure whether to leave it or powdercoat it white. One of the best bits about this board is the black nickel 1366 socket! Yes, you counted 6 pci-e x16 slots. Glad to see they made the SB heatsink bigger - on the pre-release design they had a much smaller one. Another pretty cool feature - EZ DIMMS. There are only clips on one side of the DIMM slots, making it easier and quicker to put them in. This is the OC Genie button - will have to see how this performs. Most reviews have said it is very good. Doctor Doctor... As I was playing with the motherboard, DHL turned up with something from China. I wasn't expecting this for quite a while! V1 had viewing issues with the LCD screen, V2 has these fixed. They also sent me a load of switches for lighting control. Hellz yeah! Not bad CAD on my behalf, drawing it perfect without having the thing in front of me! Since when was that in there! A massive thanks need to go out to John at MSI and Rob and Lamptron - both of them have been amazing
Really nice hardware there buddy! Mad probs to MSI and Lamptron and off course to all the sponsors that support our projects! Mod on mate
Unbelievable looking build and attention to detail so far, can't wait to see this thing finished. Nice camera work too
Oooh Goodies, good good goodies . Yes indeedy nice fit for the fan controller, well designed Oli The mobo looks ultra cool inside the case, makes me wish I had one , still on intel p45 ddr2 arrrgh, oh well it still serves me well .
Thanks Waynio Yeah tbh a p45 quad would still serve me well however opportunities come up to upgrade, so one must take them!
