7800 GT is here. Woohoo !

All waterbocks scheduled for delivery tomorrow and Wednesday. That only leaves us hanging on the arrival of the res from flippin Germany.

Still chasing a monitor. Still need a DVD/RW.

Also, I purchased three Delta Fans. I'm not sure that the Panaflos will be optimum, so, with the switch panel which runs a 7 or 12 V, we can drive some air through that rad, or even creat a Class III Hurricane.

In addition, as suggested, I cut a deal with Pwnt By Pat to do a fiberglass housing for our fans and rad. It will come back sanded and prepped for paint. So we'll have to wait for it to return for final painting.

With that said, it looks like we'll do a rough install this weekend, make sure everything powers up, yank it back apart, send out for paint and then put it to work. While Pat's working on the housing we can intall a stealth drive and the monitor.

Let's get this party started !
 
Woo hoo Paaaaaarty!!! Well looks as if everything is a shapin up!

As for the CD/DVD drive, anything in the 45 or so dollar range with good reviews you should be happy with. If you absolutley need a recommendation I would surely say that my DVD burner is a good one. It is in my sig.

I'm very glad to hear this! Pat is a great guy and hes work is top notch.
I vote for a NEC drive, something like the 3540 model or similar.
I'll dig up a model and post it.

Excellent!
You getting a MountinMods UFO case for your next project?? ;)
 
I've thought about the temp probes and I think the best seal would be if you put some plummer putty first to get a qourqe (spell) type seal and top it off with some RTV sealant.

I have a "engineering" thinking but not the math skills to back it up.
That's why I'm currently at university for Mechanical Engineering, tho at time I regret it due to the heavy load, I still am in love with engineering.

Glad to see all the stuff coming in now, I'm starting to get excited for you Glasslicker!

Oh and Flip-Mode, did you mean a cork? Maybe my mind is lost and I am confused currently (wouldn't be a first for me)

Thats it cork!
Thanks.
 
So, wedge a piece of cork in there with the probe itself, then seal it ?

Also, which DVD RW did you recommend. The link you gave showed 5 or so.

Woohoo ! The wife is gone for the weekend so I can work on case without interuption.

No, use the plummers putty to make a cork shape with the probe comming trough and stuff in the T-line and seal the top with RTV.

If you notice they are the same model, they got all the colors and OEM/Retail options on that page.

Lack of attention, happens to all of us and me the most, it looks like I've got ADHD :( got an appointment with a neurologist to confirm it in a month.

Remaining wb's are in. Temps sensors are in.

It is finally on !

Wife just got on her turbo-charged broom and flew around the house saying she wanted her kitchen table back.

Looks fine to me.
