Mk.6 EMP -Experimental Modular Project-

Nice job winning a new PC! I'm jealous.

 

Send the pc to me and you'll have my undying love for all of eternity.

Dunno if that's a good thing though.

 

Keep your man love to yourself and I'll keep my hardware to myself.
The hardware from the PC I just won will get transplanted into Mk.6 to make it more up-to-date. ESPECIALLY the video card which is WAY faster than the 6800GS I was going to use. I've never owned a top-of-the-line card so that's what I'm most excited about.

 

Wow congratulations. Now where's the update?
Certainly this is one of my favorite projects and it deserves nothing less than the finest of hardware so keep up the good work.

 

congrats Capt..

 

congratz man a great article indeed u deserve it

 

The "Update" that nobody is going to like

My arthritis is really bad. I have had no consistency in my mobility for the past 2 months. The past 2 weeks I have been unable to move comfortably or attend my classes. As a result have had to drop everything I registered for in this semester.
I've been on trial medications with little or no success since March. I went through all of the non-invasive oral medications that were available for treating inflammation. The most recent trial medication had to be injected into my thigh once ever two weeks. That doesn't seem to be working and since any stronger medications could have serious side effects I need to start the examination process over again at Johns Hopkins in order to determine why it is that nothing has been working.
At present I am unsure when I will be able to make headway on this project, let alone in my studies and the other assorted things I have my fingers in.

I'm extremely thankful for my family. I also very thankful for the very patient employer I have at present who has allowed me to do what little I can from home, or whenever I can manage come in. I'm also thankful to all of you for your support, whether I did anything to earn it or not.
I DO NOT have any plans to outsource any of the work on this project. It is mine alone to complete whether I finish it in this year or the next. It's everything I have been planning and developing for the past 3 years. It's not that I don't trust anyone else to do the work, but rather that I want it to stand as a work purely demonstrating my own effort and resolve.

I will keep an eye on this thread and post anything I have to report.
The "Intermission" starts now.

 

Hope something comes up for you Cap'n, its talk like a pirate day, so something may happen!

 

Do not worry about it, we all enjoy your work and simpathise with your condition. I wish you to recover and have good health. Great work and infinite patience.

 

i hope all you aches and pains go away quickly Captain.

I look foward to the resume of your project when you can

 

Your project is looking good so far, but make sure it comes second to everything else. Hope you get all sorted soon mate.

 

Good luck and God speed Captain. Hope to see you back on the modding circuit soon.

 

best wishes from me Capt... Project is amazing, look forward to an update.

hope the 'intermission' is a SHORT one!

 

Your case is looking great and guess what...we won't go anywhere.

You just get better and finish the mod when you can, I bet no-one has forgotten about it when you come back from your "intermission". Great work, keep us posted when something new happens.

Hope you'll get better soon.

illness sucks

May you find rest, strength, and mobility even beyond your hopes.

I enjoy your work, and I can't wait to see it completeed, but as for your inflammation, have you thought of capsaicin treatments to temporary relief of symptoms? It provides about a week of relief before symptoms get bad again, and it merely masks the inflammation pain, any joint pain or anything else will still be felt, but inflammation can be treated.

 

I don't get joint inflammation, I also don't have any inflammation markers in my system. I haven't responded to Mobic, Arthrotec, Celebrex, Methotrexate, or Humira. Feldine was the only thing that worked, but when my symptoms worsened it's effect became less and less. Either I developed an immunity to it, or my symptoms are more than it can overcome.
I'm fairly sure there's more than just seronegative rheumatoid arthritis plaguing me.

 

I'm sorry your condition inhibits so many activities in life. However this is my favorite mod on bit-tech due to all of the original ideas and effort that has gone into it so far. This case goes beyond aesthetics or functionality alone and combines the two in an instance where the sum is much greater than the individual aspects. I hope you have better luck in finding out what’s wrong and how to treat it so you can get back to class and this project.

 

i totally agree with 'mr rocket' there it is also my favorite work log, i love it. have you tired living in a perfect atmosphere here the temperture is constant, i bet the warmer weather makes you feel happier and more flexiable?

 

get well man ill be here waiting for updates

btw about delrine, i work with it a little at my work and i can tell that its very easy to polish. wetsanding down to 2000 grid works perfectly and then just use 3M perfect it III for the polishing
