So a box arrived, I oppened it and found these inside:

I unboxed the main things and put in the CPU into the motherboard.

That is all. See you soon

Awesome

Christmas has come early.
This motherboard comes with an amazing I/O Shield, shame it wont be needed

Thanks guys

NN5 me

I should be getting my next load of stuff Monday

Hyburnate · 29 Oct 2011 at 13:49

You got me

Glad you know, DPD didn't

Hyburnate · 29 Oct 2011 at 14:28

XD there was a lot of police around though so might have been some traffic. Will give them another chance

Hyburnate · 29 Oct 2011 at 19:08

Just a quick update. I've just ordered the case from another company.

I've also ordered a few of the watercooling essentials and the Graphics and the RAM and not forgetting the Hard Drive. I'm going to try get as high as I can on the stock cooler then switch to water the same day.

So Tuesday is going to be a busy day for me.

Hyburnate · 29 Oct 2011 at 19:37

Because the cash point wasn't helpful at all and I didn't know if it had cleared properly

Who is the courier of the case company?

Royal Mail?

I'm going to do a full boot on air and make sure everything works properly and then I'm going water.

The water post may be up a day later it depends if I have time or not.

Hyburnate · 29 Oct 2011 at 20:06

UPS? Parcel Force?

Hyburnate · 29 Oct 2011 at 20:22

If it comes during the day, I'm screwed, cause I'm at school and mums at work. D: I will just have go get it. DPD brought mine at 5PM so I'm hoping they do again

Hyburnate · 30 Oct 2011 at 20:01

Its going to be an ongoing project right past Christmas.

My main plan is to have 2x GTX 460 Watercooled, 3 Rads for aesthetic reasons.

I've taken some inspiration from your skelly cause it looked fab and so did KiiYzOo's.

The 3 Rads may turn into just 2 on either side.

Hyburnate · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:42

I got the last one from the Skelly Cupboard. CityLink (

) bringing it tomorrow, just hope they bring it later at night or I will have to get it next monday (D: I know)

What could I do an out of case boot on?

Hyburnate · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:52

Don't trust neighbours. xD. Some of my watercooling kit wont come till Monday. I gotta go cash point and check how much I got left

Hyburnate · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:57

Check what online? Cause I bought through Google checkout I can't track. "/ No support online. Last time I buy from them, they are really crap. xD :rolleyes:

Hyburnate · 1 Nov 2011 at 09:10

I guess it is no school for you then eh?

You want the truth?

Sister used all the hot water in the tank and I really needed a shower cause I was really warm last night. So I didn't go to school cause I was very sleepy

Edit: The ETA of DPD is 2-3PM so I wouldn't have been home

Yeah its amazing!
I was amazed how big it is, I thought it would fit on my desk but I have a book case on the wall sort of thing and it hits the friggin bookcase, will be better when its watercooled

As you may have read, I broke the stock fan D:
