Bianco that is some serious gear you have. I love the abundance of pictures and the details you provide.
Good choice to go water cooled. It's the most fun I've had with computers yet. Keep the updates flowing. ;)
:D thanks LogAn'sRun.Quote:

Soooo do you deal drugs for a living?:P Nice nice nice stuff you got there man Real expensive. Looks great so far
Awsome hardware, yea definitely drug dealing :rofl: j/k. Can't wait it to see when its fully setup.
I'm starting to warm back up to the EK GTX280 blocks and RAM backplate. Are those Rev. 3 or Rev. 2? :shrug:

hi skinnee. honestly, i have no idea. :confused: i'm thinking the 2 acrylic ones are rev.2 while the acetal top is rev.3. just because i got the 2 sooner (2 months ago from pts) and the acetal later (late aug from swc). if you can let me know how to differentiate, i can check and let you know. /end of noob ramble...Quote:

Congratulations, Bianco. Beautiful equipment.
Greetings to you in Singapore, where I was from, once upon a time lol :) I still get stuff (rare stuff not available here) shipped in from my brother over there.
Are you a regular on VR-Zone as well?
thanks IanY! my sentiments exactly, that's why i can't stop taking pics. haha.Quote:

yeah, i started off with vrz. needed to research about where to get the nice stuff since i moved here 2 years ago. :D
Great... I live in a suburb of New York City BTW.
If you have any questions about shopping in SG, give me a buzz lol My brother is such a geek that his office is actually next door to SLS hahaha
BTW, I'm so sorry about your dad. My mom in SG has late stage Alzheimer's. She started losing her memory by 39 years old, and by 42 years old, she didn't know anybody in the family. I fold as well.
Haha that's just what i was thinking. He wouldn't last long in SG though! :shocked:Quote:

thanks IanY. it's alright. my family has accepted it. he was a chain smoker since young. only quit after he got diagnosed with lung cancer 2 years ago. sorry about your mom. sad man. gotta hate these illnesses. i sure do hope folding would shed light to curing these things. at least we'd have a better fighting chance.
haha. true that... sg is such a strict country. works out for those that follow law. nice feeling of security. so different from where i came from... haha.Quote:

Of course, Big Uncle ensured that I did my time in the infamous Hotel first!! What a drag!
{oh.. you're not originally from SG}
Now, don't make me break out my heavily stylised local lingo and infect XS with local dialect hahaha lol
Sad sad story man my condolences, truly. On a lighter note Where in NY?? I'm in BrooklynQuote:

haha. i'm getting infected with the singlish as well. and my wife just cracks hearing me being localized. :D but it's quite catchy. :up:
great job on the sleeving :up:
This is looking to be an awesome build!
You did some really great sleeving! How did you keep track of all the 24 pin mobo connector pins?
Also, those EK D5 tops are sweet! I really liked using it in my build as it took up less room and allowed for compression fitting...good stuff.
Lastly your "B" made out of compression fittings cracks me up! Talk about free advertising! I've been really pleased with compression fitting and elbows from them though...good stuff....
Can't wait to see more pics! :)
thanks Dangals.Quote:
