I've come to the conclusion ZZZAC that you are one of two things, you are either...
The unluckiest guy to ever buy PC components... or... you are a genius.
*IF* you are the unluckiest guy to ever buy PC components, then my advice to you is to stop farting around buying from e-bay and buy from OCUK or any other reputable PC component company, where their stock is tracked and WILL be delivered usually on the specified day.
*IF* you are a genius, then I applaud you for one of the best windup's I've seen in a long, long time, to have a 'build log thread' last 13 pages, get banned and suspended numerous times and still be allowed to post is what can only be described as amazing.
Either way ZZZAC it's been an entertaining read and I 'doff my cap' to you, well done
