I assume there's a T in front of the MCP655 intake? Looks like you have a quick-disconnect as a fill port, but what is the other quick-disconnect between the MCP655 and the PA120.3 for - easier draining? I'm a little curious because my current build is going to have a couple of these.

Sorry, no update yet Uh, thanks, Stork. Glad you like it? j/k Anyhoo, I want to apologize for the lack of updates this week - I did a bunch of test fitting yesterday and was pretty happy with everything except the reservoir. The Multioption 150 I have will fit, but is too short and is going...

I just can't get into console FPS games, but being able to record videos in-game is awesome - reminds me of many hours of fun playing carmegaddon 2.

Good call. I had assumed that they were insulated considering the way the unit is set up, but I'll try it out this evening with my test PSU. Can you elaborate on 'mica insulators'? Insulating washers and plastic screws would keep the charge off the case chassis, but that still leaves the...

Per my link in post #6, it's not exactly a joke anymore. M$ is actually offering XP downgrades to many of it's OEMs due to unhappy customers. It's not SP1, but it is completely hilarious!

Well, it was supposed to be a joke. Now it's even funnier.

All the boring little details I was able to wrap up a few things this weekend, and if all goes well the last of the components will be here on Wednesday. First, I got the Silverstone HDD cage and took it apart. I basically took everything apart and removed the mesh panels to decrease any...

I gather that as long as the water was magnetically resonant, yes. :p

Hey, the Ferrari was DarkSynergy's idea, not mine. :) I think people understand the gist of what I was saying.

This is some amazing stuff. Dailytech article EE Times Bae Institute 100km/s. 1 week to Mars. Can we say: 'Please fasten your safety belts'? I'm going to enjoy reading new science fiction novels as time goes on, just to see how the authors cope with all the fiction that is steadily...

Thanks to Annaconda at [H]. First, ClubIT has OCZ Platinum Revision 2 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-15 for $57.99 AR, and promo code EBL09124308301 takes another $8 off for a total of $49.99 with FREE FedEx ground shipping. Then, Newegg has OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2...

I'm actually hearing some pretty decent reports on the new nVidia WHQL drivers and Vista 64. I might have to pick up Vista 64 before I do the installation on my new machine.

Today Woot.com is selling the 30gb Zune for $130. While this may be a good deal, the real gem here is their product description. I expect MacMan will be particularly impressed by it's comedic genius. Since Woot.com changes their products on a daily basis, I will link to the woot blog entry...

No, it's a JOKE. Not bad, either.

If I had $500K to spend on either a Ferrari or the best performing, best looking, best everything PC in the world, I would definitely take the Ferrari.

What exactly is Intel trying to prove with the first benchmark series? Two 8800GTXs are better than one? 4gb RAM (edit: 3gb w/ 32bit OS) is better than 2? Oh, wait, it must be the processor... The SSE4 bench was nice.

Absolutely, but a Ferrari or a piece of jewelry doesn't depreciate as fast as motherboards and CPUs. That's great news for everyone! Uh, except AMD.

See, I'm actually not so sure about this. I actually think it'll be the definition of an idiotic purchase, at least at this point in time. I don't care how many cores you jam into your system - once the two 8800s (or whatever) are the bottleneck, you're throwing your money away. Is Crysis...

Some test assembly At this point the lower part of the case is pretty well taped out. Here you can see that assembly is completely feasible. So I figured I'd try to assemble the top portion and find out what still needs to be done up there. It was also an excuse to open up some hardware...

Mounting pumps and hacking up the fan controller some more Due to the limited amount of time I have outside of work during the week, this update is going to be kind of scattered because I didn't work on any one thing very long. Starting with the rear fan controller: Turns out that the top two...
