Yeah, thanks very much Garry, you certainly helped me a lot when you came round! I'd lost all my motivation because everything I was doing was going wrong
I had a grumble on Facebook about it, a hour later Garry knocked on the door, kicked me up the arse and started to cut holes into things with me! Winner!
And snips, I'm sure as hell hoping to. I have literally got Wednesday to finish it though. If I Dont, then I'll have to chuck together a quick Parvum build Or something!

Yeh I'm EAS, always am 
if needs be. Il bring all my stuff and try finish it at lan on the Thursday night. I'm hoping to have the coolant delivers tomorrow (mayhems are hopefully sending it out today!) And I have another load of fittings from OcUK being delivered (sigh another 20+ quid on fittings)
As long as I don't hit any major set backs I should be good to go. Ive just got to figure out how I'm going to get the screen working now!

Cheers guys, it looks like my coolant has arrived from mayhems and also it looks like I'm going to have some hep from Confused again tomorrow evening! So I might have chance to finish this before lan after all!

So! I got home today and there was a "we have called but you werent in card" on my door mat.
well, as im a grown man, and i can obviously wait till the next day for re delivery... (who am i kidding, i rushed straight out and went to the depot!!!!)
so, this is the box.
hmmmm... not giving too much away...
Ok, il open it!
oooooooou foam bits!!!
aaah, i think we all know what this is now!
Thats right, a MASSIVE thanks to Mike at Mayhems coolant for sending me not 1, not 2, 3? nope, but 4 litres of his AWESOME aurora!
oooou Aurora <3
The "supernova" which is clear with the white pearl in, making it look a really nice creamy white colour
The "Orillia" Mayhems orange aurora!
I cant wait to get this into my system so i can see it move around more, you can watch the swirls/patterns for aaaaages they are mesmerising!
So,
If you dont know what mayhems coolant is now, then you all need a good slap! over the last few years, they have taken the watercooling market by storm making better and better products each time!
as you can tell, i am somewhat a fan! you should be too!!!!

nah, this will just be short term, il probably run pastel for long term, or even buy some white/orange tubing and run X1
yeah! Ive only got today to get it so its actually working. i think im going to have to sacrifice some of the looks for it to run (i still havnt braided any cables etc) but as long as i can actually turn it on il be happy!!
Yeah, it honestly looks better in the flesh
i hope to have it filled tonight!SLURP! i was stiring it with a straw so that i could see the swirls, i did wonder what a sip would taste like!

Well.... We have failed it seems.
We have literally spent hours trying to get little bits done.
Leak test went okish (only one or 2 fittings that needed tightening a little more)
The touch screen we haven't managed to get working properly, everything works indevidualy but my pi just hasn't got enough juice to run it.
My new bitfenix fan controller decided to go pop too! I have no idea if I have the receipt kicking around for that still or not either. I'm not too happy about that as seen as I'd done all the cable work for it and it worked fine on the first test!
Aaah well. Looks like I bit off more than I could chew this time. I'll have to just throw something together now with it so I can turn it on and have it as just a 'work in progress' type build.
