Ditch the D-Link wifi card and go with a Belkin N USB - I have both, and the Belkin is superior.
The D-Link has so many negatives, I wish I hadn't bought it.
Very nice build :up:

- XSPC Premium Laing DDC Clear Acrylic Top
I’m currently leaning towards the EK-DDC X-RES 100. Can anyone who has comment about it?
I also played with a Swiftech Micro-Res; I tapped 4 more G1/4” ports and 2 LED ports into it for testing. When I was on tapping the last port I accidently cracked the inside!!!!

get the XSPC. it increases performance and reduces a lot of space. Martinm tested it and liked it best.
Absolutely beautiful case! I have finally made the decision to get the TJ10, just like yours. I will definatly be keeping track of this thread.

For all of you closely following my build the link below is my flickr account which has many images of my build not posted here. I love taking pictures it’s the write-ups and the explanations I hate. I have no problems answering any questions though.

So I was going to shoot the tutorial with my new D300 but the Lexar 8GB 300x UDMA Compact flash card I bought only showed 950mb once formatted; so I had to shoot the tutorial with my D80.
The first example will be the best. This is because when the corner is filled with liquid, the flow in the bend is liquid on liquid, which will have minimal resistance by providing laminar flow. This type of turn is called a "Flow-T" (upside down T. in this case).
please send your d80,to This Address

This build is looking great. Can't wait for updates. I love your implementation with the 9800GX2, I think I might steal it.
Just curious how the tygon 1/2-5/8 tubing bends, does it kink easy?
I’m not even sure I will be using this setup as it may interfere with the second pump and reservoir.Quote:

Edit: dude, thanks for the tapping pic's - what size drill bits and tap did you use? (M12 1.25 or 1.5?) cheers.
What happen with performance-pcs? I was going to order some water cooling stuff from them.Quote:

One of the reasons I really like Flickr is because if you look at the bottom right section of the page there is an “Addition Information” section; which not only lists which camera was used but all of the settings of the camera. One thing this forum seems to be missing is a good photography tutorial. This is XtremeSystems; we need to be able to show them off!Quote:

In my tutorial I’m not using any of the proper sized tools. The tap I have is 20 TPI which is why at the end I have to rethread it with a different fitting. The drill bit I use is very small compared to the 11.8mm HSS Drill Bit you should use but acrylic is very soft so the tap takes care of that.
Oh something about shipping me the wrong parts then telling me that I ordered the wrong parts. “…..you ordered the wrong size! That is not our fault!” this kind of statement just screams great customer service :rofl: HA HA:rofl:. All in all if you don’t have to deal with their customer service their alright but don’t bother if you do….Quote:
