    Potato cannot handle the sparkle.
    Did you ask them when they are going to build that robot?

    With the extra 45 fitting, it still looks good. You had too much dark space on that side of the "picture" anyway.

    No... There's a limit to what you should add. It's usually somewhere around the limits of your lifting ability.

    Much truth in this.

    Copper is deceptively heavy. I do struggle moving it about,mainly as the sharp edges of the case make great door frame remodelling tools and have tasted blood before,im scared that it will develop a taste for it.......

    Then.
    ????.
    Profit.
    SKYNET.

    I did the math on this one and I think you will find im close if not totally correct in this deduction.
    I didnt even have to use a pencil.

    My 760/970 block weighs an absolute ton. Nearly ripped the rear bracket off when I stupidly tried mounting it vertically without anything supporting it. Would be a good way to stop people nicking it though. Sure mr robber, why don't you try stealing my pc cased in depleted uranium.

    In my experience, if it's too heavy to steal, they just destroy it trying. I'd like Neg's computer O' murderous intent for theft prevention, assuming they could get past Magoo somehow.

    Whoah! I missed the Oct post! Since photos look like they are at the hub, I assume they admitted they fudged up. Last time I got a smashed box from them, they hit the doorbell and split. -fast.
    Nice footprint, btw.:/
    So...What did you manage to salvage?

    It got delivered to work,luckily the stores guy was on it and called me down before it even came off the van.

    So the end damage was a lot of cosmetic dings in the paint,bent back panels which I put in a press at work and flattened them again,1 dead GPU,Dead board and a dead HDD. ASUS came thru on most of the hardware,didnt even know about the HDD till I booted her again on Sat. That will go back to the retailer tho as the WD Red 3Tb is a problem child anyway.

    As far as Im aware,ASUS took the whole lot on the chin,I dont know if they followed up with UPS...


    Also,I took off the Sli bridge bit as it looked bloody awful,it looks much better without the copper on it

    Glad you got it all sorted, hopefully they've recompensed you for the damage.
