Corsair HX/TX Black, I'd rather avoid paying the near double some retailers have it at too

As it is only 3 retailers in the UK stock them (from what I can see), OcUK had a mislabeled batch, so no stock, the place in Bolton either lies about its stock or just has poor stock control, while the other place want nearly twice what OcUK charge.

OH AND the mrs just won £1500 playing online bingo and I'm not allowed any for parts

My spares are Ax so no good sorry

pgi947 · 27 Feb 2013 at 20:53

its ok bud, thanks anyhow

Already had two sets of AX1200 cables, make me think the easier option would have just been buying a new PSU

Seems Gregster is getting arsed about by the same retailer with his Titan. Lesson learned.

Good luck with the cables. I remember trying to get a SFX psu last year, took a week to get sorted.

I've had stock problems before too, and when you're in quick need of said item it's a real pain.

Hope you can still go ahead with the build.

I have no option now but to forget about the cables only 3 UK retailers stock them, two are out of stock and the other wants to charge twice of the other two.

I'll have to get creative hiding cables.

Backplates are in aberdeen!!! Could be expecting them today!!!

Edit: first parcel of the day is here, pics incoming.

pgi947 · 28 Feb 2013 at 10:00

The first parcel...box of goodies including res, mosfet block, some cables, fill port and some thread extenders

Enough cables (already have a full set of black bitfenix for the other vitals) to hopefully hide those stock cables that I'm being forced to use:

I'm told this may be the LAST CSQ designed block EK will ever make :eek:

Phobya Balancer 450 res, this thing is HUGE and will take up an entire side of the case :cool:

Put it next to an empty 2L bottle just to show how big it is!

Backplates ARE out for delivery, can't wait, its the part I'm looking forward the most in this build

pgi947 · 28 Feb 2013 at 10:15

SOMETHING AWESOME HAS ARRIVED!!

Hukkel · 28 Feb 2013 at 11:08

Aha so those backplates were for you. I was wondering who he made them for.

Looks like a huge case and a lot of cooling capacity.

Good luck!

*Rich* · 28 Feb 2013 at 12:07

Very nice, tallest ever res?

pgi947 · 28 Feb 2013 at 12:12

Possibly! Though I think some 600mm ones do exist (mine is 450mm)!

OcUK order is due in the next hour, then all I'm waiting on is the S2011 stand-offs to arrive tomorrow and everything is in hand

Going to get some bits dry-fitted today, then the good stuff tomorrow

pgi947 · 28 Feb 2013 at 21:30

Some parts I test fitted today ready to jump in with both feet tomorrow :cool:

Nickolp1974 · 28 Feb 2013 at 21:49

Oosshhh! Nice res mate, kinda like a light sabre but full of fluid.... Nice :cool:

opstrat · 28 Feb 2013 at 22:12

Just watch the res mount clips, on my 2 150's 3 out of 4 clips broke.

pgi947 · 28 Feb 2013 at 22:35

They appear a lot stronger then the clips you get with the ek res, clips on my ek 150 were also quite fragile, this things are solid in comparison

opstrat · 28 Feb 2013 at 23:01

sorry, i meant my balancer 150's

pgi947 · 28 Feb 2013 at 23:11

Oooh, I'll take a better look at them tomorrow, they appeared to be quite strong, the adjustable ek clips have been a pain for me, I think I only have 1 ek clip remaining.

First thing tomorrow, open the gpu blocks check everything is ok, leak test them then on with the fitting, 280 rad is sat at the post office hopefully get that Saturday at the latest

My mrs enters online competitions all the time, she did say she won something for JD, its that big it has to stay on the balcony...doesn't fit through the door

Going to either try flog it, or it can be my 'table'

Don't you mean, my table? :confused:

.

Great build PJI947, that case is massive!!. Also congrats on the free game for your OCUK backplate idea

. I can't wait to see this up and running although I suspect you might want this a little bit more than I do

*Rich* · 1 Mar 2013 at 06:58

That pic with res really shows just how big that case is......huge

pgi947 · 1 Mar 2013 at 08:00

The motherboard will show the size better, especially if anyone has used or even seen an 800d as the board I'm using will not fit in an 800d but should be dwarfed in this case.

pgi947 · 1 Mar 2013 at 13:07

Fairly sure someone has stolen the chargers for both of my battery drills :mad:

Have to see if my boss can get a drill sent over to me, if not the 1080 cut will have to wait until saturday.
