excellent stuff there coming together bro well done
What size screws and bolts are you using to replace the rivets?

thanks bullydog. your nick seems familiar, sg?
i used m3 size to replace the rivets. wanted to use m4, but was a bit too big for the slimmer sections (ie backplate bracket/expansion slots).

this black and red build = badass

thanks SNiiPE_DoGG. hope it turns out that way to the end, else i'd be putting the system under my desk and not on top.

got time?

[SNiiPE_DoGG]

this begs the question, did you buy the fittings for your build or to do what youve just done there?

the next step is to turn it into a fountain.....

yup, those are for the build. i tend to buy 'extra' just in case, i lose out in shipping, so i make the most out of the orders.

[MomijiTMO]

Well yeah all the back left and right weapons are attached at the shoulder blade . . . but you can't do that =p. Ahh well, images were saved for awesomeness.

[autobot]

Could this be the beginning of BitsPower's mascot?
BITSMAN!

[pingpong1455]

[exemay]

LOL thats a freaking EPIC robot!!!!

looks sweeeeeeet!!

I bet your arsenal of fittings costs more than some peoples fittings!

nice work

[D0BR0]

Wow awesome stuff!!! very nice job

[xaxis]

Your bits robot = frakin superlative!!! I just woke up and that was virtually the first thing I saw. You've totally made my day. Also, I think you may have sparked an interest in a new hobby: Bitspower legos. haha. Good stuff.

You are one creative person.

[twwen2]

Aha
Anyone remember BITSY? I think Malik made it. But BITSY ain't got nothing on this bad boy!

thanks MomijiTMO. also since i'm going dual loop... it would mean i have to create one more mecha.

yup, panic buying of fittings... and a bit of addiction i guess. haha.

thanks xaxis. very kind of you. yeah could be a new toy! my daughter has also taken into playing with the fittings whenever she sees them lying around but due to the weight of these things, i keep them in their containers most of the time.

hi tween2! nice to see you around here. i'm sure you're enjoying your system to the fullest! any update coming?

[shazza]

Nothing worse than running out of that one special fitting when you need it ... I think you're covered, bianco!!! Nice Mech.

[charles_h]

Bianco, I love it!

Now I know why I've had such a hard time sourcing some of those!

Bianco, I love it!

haha. i'm sure someone else out there was the real cause of the shortage.

An orgy of excellent parts. I really like the red screws on your GPUs.
