UPDATE 21/08/13
Now I have my mitts on the M'board, It's time to get it fitted and share some of the goodies that the Impact has.
First off is the lil boards that come in the box. There's a Supreme FX sound card and a Combi wi fi adaptor (this is the bit I'm interested in)
You can see on the combi board an NGFF socket, Once the NGFF SSD's are available I will fit one and the power and SATA leads won't be needed.
Here they are fitted to the board, looks pretty but that view will be obscured by the GPU
and the other side looking back at the Supreme FX chip
while were down here, we'll take a look at the daughter board and heat sink.
and the board assembled,
With the board together I fitted it onto the tray and have also fitted the flow indicator which will link up the pump and also where the hard acrylic tubing starts.
and some more pics...
a view from the front
and finally the assembly fitted to the bike
For features alone this board is crackin, there's no other Mini ITX board that comes even close, it's solved a few issues with cable management (I like how the CPU power and 24 pin ATX are next to each other) I will also use the power switch on the board and also I will make use of the NGFF socket for my SSD.
The only thing I don't like is that there isn't a full set of matching screws to fit it all together, but this is just a very minor niggle. Overall I'm very happy with this board and looking forward to booting it up and having a good play with it.
Next up is the exhaust....
I had an old one lying around and decided to see what it would look like fitted, I'm glad I didn't scrap this as it's a good fit, here's what it looked like before I started.
It's a lil rusty on this side but after I'd flipped it over and made some cuts, it's very rusty and pitted. This needs sorting before I continue
So it onto the linisher to get the rust out and get rid of that pitting, The pitting needs to be totally eliminated as I want to cover the sleeves in that fake carbon stuff Di-Noc and I don't want the piitting to cause air bubbles.
I cleaned up the inside tubing and painted it black, the sleeving covered very nicely (no air bubbles)
and the end caps, springs and split pins were polished. The end result looks something like this.
and finally here's the pipes fitted
There are some Termigoni Logo's on order and those will finish off the exhausts. It did put a smile on my face fitting these and they add a lil interest to the rear end of the bike.

Looking really good. nice one!
Thanks man, I'm happy how this is going
This is getting better and better
Cheers Jonny, That's the plan
That's a good idea, but I'm trying to keep cables to a minimum. I going to have a look and see what it looks like. Cheers for the Idea

Brilliant stuff man
When I saw the little screen I had to buy one myself, thank you for bringing my attention to it - it's exactly what I was looking for! It arrived on Wednesday, took about 3 weeks to arrive from China. Both yourself and the guy who develops Goverlay deserve a beer!

Cheers, Happy you like it. I'm hoping to have the build finished between 8 - 12 weeks

Brilliant, I think I should be getting some kind of commission. How is the screen performing ?

Absolutely amazing work.

Thanks Mr Bell, much appreciated
Thanks Razor, I try my best
Cheers Frijz, If this build inspires others to mod, then it's done it's job. There's nothing more satisfying than inspiring someone else to pick their tools.
