Oops, I was wrong. Dominion Electronics in Artarmon, about a block up from my first ever full time job (my last ever working for others too) sell them, apparently. Don't know how the prices compare or if they really hold stock, not just order from the states themselves, or what.
Hmmm, not happy Jan!
Seems my replacement sensor hub has a couple of non-working analogue sensor connections. :(
Playing around with them tonight, trying out the type of alphacool plug temp sensors Ranker thought didn't work with the M-cube controller. At first I thought he was correct but discovered they worked on another connection point and that no sensor worked on two of my sensor hub analogue connections.
I wonder if he had a dead connection or two as well?
So good news is these work with the M-cube

Which is great because they go well with EK reservoirs.
but the bad news is I need yet another sensor hub.:mad:
Santa wants to fit 8 500GB drives in my box.
Mrs Claus has found a raid card and 8 matching seagates still under warranty for a very good price. So the elves are haggling as we speak.
I figure a spare X23A drive bay exspansion module I have will take 3 of them in the mobo side front bays.

Theres room for the rest in the cages.
Woot!
I could have more terra than an outback grazier.
Yeah... me too. I was looking forward to seeing motorcycle rebuild pics too.... :shrug: :ROTF:Quote:

I have the EX-33A which matches the V series hole pattern and takes 120 mm fan. So I'll decide for sure when/if Santa comes through with card and drives.
Ho ho ho!
How I stealth the DVD drive eventually will factor in the choice, as that'd leave one other drive slot unused. I've been playing around swapping back and forth with the front bay fittings for ages, trying for the best. Got one of each module right at the start.
The small Lian Li plaques look 'tinny' up close and I want to not have that. Still have to see if the plate will come off without leaving marks behind.
Time for the big swap around.
Every bit of IT equipment in my little world has to be moved around as I switch the V-Twin into my ops area. lol Just the furniture moving involved is daunting enough without all the components too. There's so little spare room, I can only move one thing at a time. That then makes space to move another bit.
If I vanish off line for a while you'll know I've had probs.
If everything goes to plan, though, I hope to get a few pics up of the result.
Wish me luck.
Hey Jedda! I just went through the whole thread and OMG! I am impressed! Those 2 cases screwed together looks great! :D Well done! :)
GL d00d, sounds like your really going to need it. :up:Quote:

Um Jedda... updates?
Is there a problem?
Well I've got a problem, I'm impatient and I need updates! NOW!!!!!
Please? :rofl: :ROTF:
Pretty please? :up:
Ugh, to much chocolate today... :shakes:
man i wish i could fit so many hd's in my case!!!
im very jeoulous
do you live in Aus JeddaQuote:

Maybe he's boxed himself into a corner and cannot escape. Should we send in a search party ? :D
Yep, with Cathar, Little River etc Oz has been in LC since day #1.
Took a bit of reconnecting but its up and going in dual screen glory!
I've been busy sussing out a dual wallpaper that looks OK in a pic. Surprising how difficult getting the lighting balance right is.
Saw 40°C on the cpu under load and that's the highest temp anywhere, so far. 33° on the 8800GTX and 34° MCP in everest. Ambient temp is 27° atm and the loops' water temps are 27.5°. So its a cool little V-Twin so far.
The EX-33A is too long with fan included for a V1000. It'd do well in a V2000 or V1200 but the longer gpu cards will conflict in a V1000. So if I do want to put any drives in the front bays it'll be without the fan included.
Am finding that 3M see through double sided tape very good for mounting the analogue and digital sensors leads. Its really strong and virtually invisible. I'm cutting 1/16" bits off the roll's end and that's perfect to fit under each lead. You just press it on where you want the lead held then press the lead down in position and its held in the alignment you chose.
Its much better than the M-cube tape. Better looking too.
Big prob is the monitor I've been using but gave to my lady along with the box, has gone blank on me.
Disconnected moved ten feet and reconnected and the %@#$^ thing wont work! Gawd, these monitors can be sensitive.
3m "tape of the gods" stuff really sticky...
the 8hours became 3 days more, for a moment there the search party idea sounded good...
Well, have you ever tried to explain to a woman how come her computer doesn't have a functioning monitor while your's has 2 shiny new ones, both running?Quote:

Yes, you are lucky! I would have immediately INSISTED one of your duals get hooked up to my rig ;)Quote:

hey jedda are overclocking this rig???
or no need??? it's not for gaming is it????
I'll probably play around a bit next week.
Switching out the B3 quad for a G0.
But its a graphics box mainly and all my time has gone into modeling as I enjoy the new found speed and screen real estate.
I'm pushing huge numbers of polys around under a NDA or I'd show off with a screeny or two.
Its just so good for the purpose and as I load my apps it keeps blowing me away how faster it runs each one than my old box.
Am thinking about a build around the B3 and a few spare bits I have to begin a home grown render farm. We'll see.
Really liked the look of your side panels and still have to finish mine off.
Bolting them together has left me with a couple of spares to play with. Also I have a side with the stock window I mounted mesh in replacing the perspex as an early look at mounting a MCR220. Could cut a lower window in that, like yours, and use either plexi or mesh.
Maybe an idea for a cut out will spark, for one of the spare panels. A V2 logo or something.
Seems a bit of a waste to not try o'clocking a bit with this board but stability was always my goal rather than chasing numbers. Am from the era where o'clocking was how you got the performance you needed, not an end in itself.
Can understand wanting to know what she'll do, though.
Am trying to find enough time to do a bit of a thing with pics on using the M-cube. Would like to do the same on making up custom wiring too. Its easier than many think to make up leads that fit in neatly and combine the various fittings. Sort of pass on the lessons I learnt from the build.
hey jedda.... have you got any updates??
did you get that second mofset block mate?
