    This Fritel GR 2275 plate grill / table top bbq. My cat accidentally destroyed my previous one in her first night at my place. Now I can finally make grilled cheese sandwiches again

    My mum who came to me for help, she wanted to know how she could copy paste things. Not so bad right? Well the next day she asked again and the day after that and the day after that and... well you get my point right?
     
    I've had a couple of fights (verbal not physical) with her about computers. She finds them useless and destructive to the community as a whole... Yep she is that kind of person...
     
    My boss who thinks adding more RAM to a server makes everything go faster. While that is in fact not a false statement in some cases it is for his case... When you got a CPU as old as my grandma it's not gonna help.
    He also asks me often if I can't just assign more RAM to a specific page in the program. Yes that is possible but he doesn't (want) to understand the reasons that I give him why not to. The same goes for the time the script has to run before it gets cut off.
     
    My grandma asking me if I could send a letter to someone via the computer. Well that shouldn't give any problems right? She came up to me with a handwritten letter and a postal address. When I asked her about the e-mail address she just said that she gave me the address. She didn't understand the difference. Took the letter, bought a stamp and posted it for her.

    I just build a Custom loop for somewhere in between €60 and €70. You can call the parts at least a bit dodgy but after 9 hours leak testing them no part failed. For me it was a budget choice as much as my curiosity. Wondering if cheapo stuff like that could pull it of. 
     
    Gotta say that I got the CPU block, pump/reservoir combo and rad from China. The rest I bought from known brands (tubing, 2 compression fittings). If the loop fails it better isn't because of a dodgy tube or something.
     
    O almost forgot. Haven't been able to test the performance yet. Leak testing has been done outside of the case.

    Just keep in mind that while it may not have leaked during testing it might when you put it in. I used some leftover tube for this, the loop at this moment isn't usable for a CPU at all. If there is less than 2 inches between block and rad it wouldn't surprise me. It is a good method to test your components with (at least that is how I see it).
