3 items of clothing and only 1 little bird thing. I agree with you on the walking branding, I really like superdry clothes but I hate all the logos stamped all over their jackets.

I'm also considering starting to change buttons etc on some of my clothes so they're a bit more personal having seen half of London walking around in my coat.

 

Im banned from Jack Wills after walking in whilst under the influence and asking the girl if every product was made from superior quality fabrics...

Ahh what a day that was.

 

Thats class! Im so gonna try that!

Why, I bought all the parts for my first build!
i5 3450, XFX Radeon 7850 2GB, 8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM, 1TB WD Caviar Black, Gigabyte B75-D3V, Corsair CX600 PSU, and a Sony 7280S disc drive.

Due here tomorrow - I can't wait this long!

 

First build eh, exciting times

 

Awesome! You're going to love it!

Ah, I remember my first build. Back when 4GB of RAM cost me £93. Memories.

 

the first build is always poo-in-pants inducing but when you've done it a couple of times it becomes "Hmm how hard might I throw this processor before it breaks"

 

EK Supremacy copper & acetal:



Black Ice GTS 280:



6x EK 1/2" OD compression fittings:



6x EK G1/4" Rotary Adapters:



2x 140mm Bitfenix Spectre Pro PWM fans:



1L of Mayhem's Ice Dragon Nanofluid:

And an Alphacool Repack single bay res with two DC-LT pumps:



I'm getting a 4.2GHz 3930k wet this week!

The res and pumps were not my choice, everything else was. The customer supplied the PoS reservoir, ignoring my advice to go with a Koolance bay res. Quite honestly, I haven't seen poorer manufacturing on a res in a long, long time. On his head be it though, if it makes the front of his case look like crap when it's installed, I'm not the guy that's going to have to look at it every day.

 

Compression fittings make me have a sad.

 

Compression fittings make my fingers bleed. I'm glad the ones i bought off the marketplace had the relevant sizings for me to get spanners around them, otherwise i'd never have managed to get them tightened up.

 

Sigh, go on then, why don't you like them? Quite frankly, people not liking something that looks and performs perfectly well makes me have a sad. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them. How they look doesn't matter because they are going in a case with no window - I'm using them because I've tried and tested them and they work. Someone said recently on bit-tech that rotary compression fittings "always leak". What kind of bull**** is that?! If you buy cheap, crap fittings they will leak. If you buy decent, well designed fittings that are manufactured with good tolerances, they will be leak free for years. I have never had a straight or rotary compression fitting leak on me. Never.

And frankly Tundra, if they are that tight to get screwed down that you actually draw blood, you're doing it wrong. I use some dielectric grease on the tubing and threads of the fitting, then grip the knurled nut with a cloth, and they go on easily enough when you apply enough force. Yeah, they're not as easy to use as high flow barbs and I still have a rig with 1/2" DD Hi-Flow barbs in the loop, but I love compression fittings. Without compression fittings, there would be no heating in your house and PC liquid cooling enthusiasts would only have one choice of fitting type. Can you imagine how boring that would be?
