Llama's non-llama-related Worklog!

[llama_egg]

Update: Ok, so I figured I might as well give you guys an update on what's happening, because I'm awesome like that! I replaced 2 of the 3 LED fans in my case currently with Antec Tri-cool Red, I would have also replaced the 3rd, but so far it seems like way to much work to dig it out. Also, the tooless pins used to keep the fans in? Junk. Next, I ordered all my watercooling parts on Friday, and as of today, the order has been processed. If I'm lucky, they will ship in a couple days, and I'll receive them just before Christmas, thus, on Christmas, taking my day off, and throwing my build together (and taking more pictures then I know what to do with!). I also took some pictures of the replaced fans...but I don't feel like just writing about that...good times. <_<

Who do I need to sacrifice around here to get an order shipped before everyone elses? :D

Wicked! Can't wait for the update! I will be trying to put a Swiftech H20-120 Compact into a small crummy Ultra Wizzard case, what's going to be fun! Back in Ontario, where I will have all my tools!!!! Yay metal/wood/car shop!!!

That was so much easier then typing it out. What I already have sitting next to me (thus why it isn't on the list) is my D-Tek Liquid FX UV Fire Red, Arctic Silver compound, RAD box, and my coils.

20ft of tubing! I bet you will have about 2 feet left over from a single 10ft tube... Good to have extra though!

Haha, I know, I thought about it after I ordered, but I figured considering the price, it doesn't hurt to have stuff left over!

Update: So...bad news, my build is kinda on pause...for god knows how long. Apparently my water cooling order is missing. NCIX has stated it's already gone out the door, but yet, Purolator keeps telling me that NCIX is lieing, and that they never picked it up. Thank god I payed for insurance. So, sense I have no idea how long it's going to take to fix this mess, I pretty much can't finish my worklog.

Speaking of worklog, 4-6 months I'm starting a new one

Well that just sucks...... Donkey Balls.

Hopefully they will get it sorted out for you soon and you can continue with the build.

I'm starting to think Murphy is following me...with a hand axe...aimed at my skull.

Why you may ask? Well, let's start. So I got my parts in 2 days ago, apparently Purolator was giving me bull the whole time, but that's a different story. So, after getting my parts together, I managed to spring a leak. A HUGE leak. So, after replacing the barbs twice, using two zip ties on each barb, and tightening it to no end, it stopped leaking! Yay!

Well...here is where the story begins to go downhill...even more so...

So I get all my wires plugged in, get the card installed, plug up my monitor to make sure it starts up ok, and then to my amazement...it beeps. Oh, not the friendly "Hi, how's it going" beep, but the "I'mma rip your face off" beeps. That's right, one long beep followed by 2 short beeps. Aka, Video Adapter Failure. So, somehow during the fixing of the leak, I killed my card. So now, I'm rig-less. Sigh, time to order a new card... *cries*

Murphy...kill me now
