I will be able to do more work once some replacement parts for my dremel comes in. The third party mandrels I bought locally sucks SOOOO bad.

I can't wait to get back to work either. haha.

Oh, I know about the zen coil. I intentionally did it that way. . Believe me when I say, I already cut it. HAHAHA.

I highly recommend Dremel's dremel although they cost a bit more than B&D. Let me know if you want a Dremel dremel, can link you up. Got mine at a good price. If B&D, can probably find at any ACE Hardware or on our forums.

Custom rigs are fun man. I keep adding on to my case design it's getting crazy. hahah

Alright! An update because some new parts arrived!

Sold my Laing DDC 1T-Plus, and bought this(!) a Swiftech MCP35X, white edition. I probably will change the top though.



Also took the dive and bought these.
The most powerful non-PWM version of the E-Loops.



Ridged blade edges with dimpled frame.



6-blade interconnected blade structure, small fan hub with no sticker (!), making this one super sexy looking fan.



A close up, showing the small grey inserts for vibration dampening.



The inserts go all the way through, in case anyone was wondering. Some artwork on the frame, rigid with slight flex, maybe because of the thickness (or rather, thin-ness) of the frame.

sure!

More stuff!!

Met up with bob(nz) to collect an i7-3770k from him. It was nice meeting with you! And thanks man. Now my rig is operational.



First thing to do? Pop the thing in!



I thought the stock paste would be alright. Who knew upon turning the thing on my temps were 70 on idle. Replaced the crap which didn't even contact (WTH! ) with some PK-1 (I think. All my thermal paste tubes have no stickers. LOL)

My beautiful RAM sticks!



Was super excited to press this button.



AND IT BREATHES

i7-3770k

16 GB Patriot Intel Extreme Masters Edition RAM

Cheaper than retail.

But nothing compared to yours. I think you have like, 4 times more cores than I do.

I got mine for RM 825, but I think bob(nz) doesn't have any left. You can look up sayerzule for the same thing at RM 850 though. I was suppose to get from him but I couldn't wait any longer.

I think he just restocked today. Quick go grab one!

It is! Why do you think I changed from an i5-3570k to a i7-3770k?

Retail has dropped, but not by much. Shy of a k.

I would, but I don't have one to sell to you.

Well, if she's a gamer girl then she would appreciate it.

I really would, but I need to see if my case can take it or not. SMALL LA.

Teeny update. Bought myself an Asus D2X, used unit, for only RM300!

Of course bro. Just waiting for more items to photograph at one go. Soon, soon.

I've actually got a collection of TIM, so to speak.

In my box there's Noctua, Arctic, Tuniq, Shinetsu, Prolimatech, Zalman, and Coollaboratory.

Build will be put on hold for a bit. Need to meet a few other urgent deadlines first. Hopefully resume in May!

I WILL FINISH THIS.

yeah. will only be free of urgent deadlines then.

It's just... a month "break". Will probably spend it getting more stuff for my build so maybe the occasional photo or two.. Hopefully.

Glad to hear your Project is complete!

Need to focus elsewhere for a month, so a break from modding out my case. My build WILL finish. This little thing has pretty much been a dream of mine although it's a tiny little thing.

Glad to know I got you hooked.

expensive, but satisfying hobby.

Ok. Even though this worklog is on vacation, there's still new stuff!

Got white fill ports and a system controller!

Decided to get these off PPC since it's so hard to get locally.



Since I have no need for fancy LCDs or knobs, this pretty much does the trick. It was either this or a TBalancer. Chose this since the software is more... modern (for the lack of a better word. lol)

Of course I know. Still contemplating it.
