When I use multi-quote why does the button say SAAYA??

It's not like someone's going to mix up the 24pin with the IDE connectors...

Stuff like this and the English translations on computer packaging gets me...

Anyway - that sticker is a biotch to remove... goo gone I reckon.


EDIT: Oh... Warranty stickers... righto. Where's my morning coffee?!
Get some caffeine in ya!

The TR heatsink is going beaut. Quite an improvement over the stock intel job!
Actually I tried these suckers, but once they were installed they actually looked pretty ugly. The black steel mesh piece fits the radgrill (both made by BP so no surprise there), and it was a simple swap and drop.

What's black tap preciousss? I might go for the photochop option.

I'm very happy to say that this old build is 98% of the way to pushing the power button. After receiving the last bit of sleeving I was able to finish up the ATX24pin and power and reset switches. Cable management is almost totally finished although I still have the EPS8pin remaining.

Here's a rundown of the last to-dos:
-Finish the EPS8pin cable.
-Paint a few 3/4" p-clips black (could only find white ones locally).
-Prep + paint the optical drive. I'm debating whether to DIY or take it to a powerdercoater. But since it's only a DVD-RW waiting a the Blu-ray upgrade I'll probably sand, prime, spray, and clearcoat myself (or bianco could volunteer to do it for me...?)
-Flush and fill, run through Pentek filter and leak test.

White boards and lights are in place for the final photos, which I hope to shoot and upload within the next couple of weeks.

Meantime I want to thank everyone who has looked at, commented in, made suggestions for, etc. this long long build. Certainly evolved a hell of a lot hasn't it? It's my first worklog but certainly not my last, and I've learned mad tons from all of you and from hands-on experience. I hope the final results will be worth the wait for you all, as personally they will definitely be worth all the blood (yeah) and sweat (no tears) that went into it.
