Quickie update tonight:

Thanks Dave These G.Skill DDR3 1600's sticks are good ram for crunchers; I have some of these sticks running in other crunchers no problems.



Solved yesterdays leaks with a bunch of "goop." Messy job but when the product is called "goop" whata expect Setup a leak test again, and failed but not quite as badly


The Barbs to PVC leak in about 50% of the connections. I was feeling so good about these connections earlier, even bragging how well the barbs self-taped right into the PVC for suuuuch a tight connection . Suites me right. Tomorrow night I think i'll unscrew the barbs, 2 part epoxy the threads and then screw them back in and then "goop" around the outside of that. That ought to seal things up for a bit


I only had enough hose screw clamps to run two pumps which just ain't enough to get great flow through this system. 1 pump and the system won't flow, 2 and I get some flow but its not overpowering or that impressive. I think with all 5 or a 6th added and flow should be very good, even with the CPU blocks (or so I hope )

Installed Ubuntu Server a Linux box last night, Its working well... Same results with the CEP2 project as any other Linux setup I've tried which was expected. Ubuntu desktop was super easy to setup (no setup needed acctually, just apt-get and the entire bloated gnome system installs ) I have to figure out how to turn off alot of this crap now that I don't need; Ubuntu config files are completely not what i'm used to having some experience with BSD or more BSD like linux systems . I also feel retarted because I havent' been able to configure X11VNC to be able to connect with UltraVNC. The rest of my fans showed up tonight, so now all I need is some more tubing and hose screw clamps from home depot and probably more tubing. Waterblocks are due to arrive Wednesday and thats the last parts I need, its just all assembly work from here on out; no more construction. I'm thinking i'll buy cheapo pieces of window glass to put on my metal shelves to insulate the motherboards. Precut sheets of glass are very cheap at HD and glass is non conductive and non-flammable.

Oh yeah... I bought 5 of these PSU's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371029 and the ing things don't come with a power cord? What the ? What the hell and I suppose to power a power supply with if they don't include a power cord??? (and of course no mention of this on the egg
