Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

[Phate]

How close are you to your actual build now @Phate?

I have the following stuff to buy:

- Storage drives
- RAM
- WC Fittings & Tubing
- Coolant

Thats it - the rest is either in my possession or ordered and on the way.

CPU is on back order, so hopefully that won't take much longer.

This week the radiators, fans & GPU block are due to arrive. So I will test fit those all into the case along with pump/res and confirm my loop, then get the fittings ordered. I am coming to the UK in 2 weeks so I will get them from OcUK - I will also know how much tubing I'll need. So I can get that ordered at the same time. Also need to make a decision on fitting colours & coolant colour...

Storage is pending payday - RAM is pending getting the radiators & fans fitted to see if I need low profile stuff or not. Hopefully I don't but we will see...there won't be much in it.

Counting every mm in this build

There will be a build thread/project log

Should all be complete with up & running the 1st week of Sept, providing my CPU is in hand by then

Wanted to change to a cube style case so I could have it sitting on my desk and I really liked the style of this. Anidees AI Crystal Cube White V2

Nice, liking that *thumbs up*

Hard or soft tubing?

These 3900X have proved a PITA - but if you've got a reserved CPU you should have your spangly new 12 core very soon from stock alerts.

If you do need low profile and they fit in with your aesthetic - i can recommend the Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (BLS2K8G4D32AESBK) - E-Die and clocks well (Ryzen proven) and only ~£80 for 16Gb. (32Gb £160
BLS2K16G4D32AESB) Be sure that AES is in the product code for E-Die.

Glad to read that's a goer - look forward to it.

Thanks for the update @Phate - hope all deliveries arrive as expected.

@almoststew1990 congrats on the house! Hope it gives you many happy years.

Asda seems to always stock it, I accidentally also bought some Pepsi Max Raspberry by mistake as the bottle is almost identical, stay safe out there guys

Yep, what's annoying is that the store has 3700x & 3800x in stock. And the 3900x is a pure heart over head decision. But I've paid for it so I am holding strong

Thanks for this, I wasn't aware. I'll check it out

Rads, fans & GPU block are due on Thursday is the tracking is accurate. CPU is a local collection so as soon as I get the email I just go over the road from work

Wat

Tescos and an uncountable multitude of local corner shops sell it. Its everywhere.

Yeah I was confused too! Morrisons, Asda and Sainsburys sell it up here!

It's not in my local Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda or Spar! Had to go the coop for it.

Countryside, best life with a lovely view. That's true Ultrawide viewing.

Yes, thank you. Much prefer it to suburbia!

Some new office chairs. Seem comfortable enough.

 

[Puzzled]

Doesn't that unit behind the chair get in the way?

 

[Raymond Lin]

Love how that unit has a cut out for the skirting board.

Not uncommon! I think even some Ikea stuff has the same. It's greaaaat!

 

[Maccapacca]

Yes

All the time, can't even get into the seat utterly useless

 

[ThereIs0nly0ne]

It's not ideal but not too bad either. The cabinet to the rear of the chair covers a multitude of sins (two double plug sockets, Home network connection and one of those new/large BT sockets). I also wanted the PC off the main desk. Compromise? Yes, a little but it's fine really.

Thanks. It's fully fitted so everything is flush to the wall/skirting.

Fair enough looks nice but I like to lean back in my chair

Does it not fit against the end wall, guess it blocks the cupboard on the desk.

+1 for leaning back in chair.
