PROJECT: MAGNUS AQUA DOMUS!

I do have a drill at home with me, but I wouldn't trust it to cut through paper without bursting into flames :p

I would have used a magbase drill but the material is a little too thin, the torque on the cutter might have distorted the panel.

Hopefully going to slope away from work early tomorrow (working from a clients base, once I'm done I'm done, boss thinks its an all day job, I think its a 2 hour job;)) I'll get it drilled then :)
 
My forcast date for getting to the good stuff is next weekend, with a view to finishing it by the first few days of March. I'm due a couple of days off work, so when I order the last parts I'll take the following few days off work to get everything done :D

I'm also adding this to the build to keep the drives a little neater (one molex power over 2 x sata power):

YOUR BASKET
1 x IcyBox IB-172SK-B Tray-less module for 1x 2.5" and 1x 3.5" SATA HDDs in 1x 5.25" bay £24.98
Total : £27.26 (includes shipping : £1.90).



Edit: That thing says Sata2 only? Any guesses to if its a limitation of the device or just at time of writing? as I'd imagine it'd just be a pass-through connection?
 
The final parcels? You have it all then?

I've made a mistake with my build, ordered the 1080 and it doesn't fit where i wanted it too :D Now i have to find it a new home......
 
Not the final ones but close, I don't think either of the parcels are backplates, most likely final GPU block, dimastech switches and the Icy Box drive holder-thingy.

Things are looking good for having everything for next weekend though, need one order complete from another retailer (mosfet block, res and fill port) and then my final order will be from OcUK. All being well I'll get the final order in Thursday morning and I'll take Friday off work :D

I have overlooked a couple of things that I'll be sorting out over the weekend, mostly I derped and forgot to grab radiator screws....for all of the radiators and I still need the replacement HX braided cables :)
 
Have you set aside about a week to build this? :)

Giving my self 2-3 days to get the bulk of it built, then I can figure out if I'm missing any little bits - cables, couplings etc...

NEEDS MOAR PICS.

I'll be watching this, sick build!

I'll try get some more pics over the weekend, as I said earlier the only thing stopping me progressing atm is lack of backplates and lack of Mosfet block :)
 
Have a couple of parcels to pick up in the morning ;)

parcels are awesome, just like xmas but at any time of the year, and as most of us only see them online the anticipation when unpacking is sometimes unbearable, then a quick glance over then onto the next step installation, a truly joyous moment :D my mrs thinks i'm sad, do you???
Enjoy your parcels paul :cool:
 
Nah, I love a parcel, as I know something inside is what I want, xmas usually brings socks, jumpers and the occasional Lynx deodorant set (haven't worn lynx in about 15 years :o).

I do prefer opening a parcel that contains actually what I ordered though :D

Edit: Just taken a delivery of....A 53 GALLON JACK DANIELS WHISKEY BARREL!!
