The 7960X will come out by the time you finish this build    :P

I'm still waiting on one part from Aqua-Computer. Currently theirs no ETA when it will be shipped. The only thing they will tell me is their having issues with the device. Not sure if that means hardware issues with the actual device or obtaining the parts to build the device.

 

The odd thing is, It's only the Matte Edition, the Glossy Edition can be easily bought.

Current Build: Project Frost
Gaming Rig Build: Project Ice Dragon

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Good News: Case-Labs Has said the Case will ship out Next Week.

Bad News: About three weeks or more until I get my Order from Aqua-Computer.

-------

 

I might grab the glossy version and try to paint it another color. The company Case-Labs uses for powder coating is near me, I going to see if they will do some powder coating for me or see if their a shop locally that does powder coating.

 

I just don't want to spend the money on powder coating equipment, I know how to do it.

My Flush System (Stand Alone), I tried to use some PrimoChill NPT fittings. Some reason they didn't fit into the 3/8" inlet.

-------

Now some bad news, I kind of broke my one 6TB harddrive.

 

-------

In Other news:

 

- AquaComputer Final shipment still no ETA when they will be shipping it out. They estimate another one to two weeks(It's already been a month). Only thing hold it back is the matte version of vision touch unit.

That's a shame!

Hopefully you can get another one soon.

Also will this put you on hold for making the build? I'm so hyped for you to make it.

Two of the screws for the feet are the wrong thread, That's why they were different colors. Also the one foot wasn't properly threaded. Looks like I going to have to RMA the feet and get a replacement.
