Thanks for all the compliments.

Well.....havent had time to get anything done and havent got any more packages

If I am lucky I will get my PSOne LCD today. My Frozen order still hasnt shipped (stupid out of stock Swiftek pump!) and my mobo was just shipped yesterday. I guess thats ok since I havent painted the case yet. Hopefully get started on that tonight, and of course post lost of fun pictures of paint drying!! How cool is that?

I hope I can get started on this build soon...before I grow old and die. If I want any longer I am going to have to upgrade because my stuff will be obsolete....probably next week!

In the mean time I had a Best Buy Gift card I got for my birthday and decided to treat myself to a game. So I got Battlefront II Deluxe Edition with Special Ops expansion Pack. I tried to play it last night on my Vaio.....well tried is the key word. took FOREVER to install, and when I finally could play, it basically didnt do anything. got to the opening screen (in game play) but couldnt do anything. I got the a geForce FX 5600 Ultra which did fine....just my cpu and ram must not be fast enough(hence the new build)

I have been thinking about a lighting settup for inside the case. Does anyone have an recommendations for a light controller for cold cathodes?

Well, look for more updates tonight...hopefully!

Awsome build, but the one thing that stands out for me the Ultra X-connect. Those things have actually been known to catch on fire or blow up under 100% load. Although I used to have one about a year or more ago, it was pretty stable, I have heard a frightening amount of cases of this things instability.

Everything else gets an A+, love the monitor setup as well. I like the direction you are heading, keep it up.

*EDIT* PSU story

Update:
Got my PSOne LCD today.......but..........ITS SCRATCHED!!!@!#!@$#453 I am so mad! I won this item on ebay. In the auction it specified NO scratches. and I am sure there were non BEFORE shipping. had the item been packaged remotely any better it would have not got scratched. when I get home my wife said I had a package....i was like COOL! I walk into the office and see this little white BAG. I was like thats wierd, I wonder what it is.....surely my LCD screen wasnt shipped in a freaking bag!!!! well, I knew better and opened it up. Yup, the LCD was just placed in the bag with the AC adaptor. NO other packaging material at all!!!! and because of that the AC adaptor slid around all over the screen scratching it! I am so PO'd. I have asked for a full refund....we'll see what this guy says tomorrow......grrrrrr!







----------------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
Got the Primer stage all finished. Two coats! Many props to spooky and his ingenious Painting Sray booth. Totally air tight, dust free environment!.....er......wait, nevermind!
I got through everything once and a few parts a second time on one can. Had to run over to Lowes and pic up another can...oh well at least the priming is done!

I cut up sections of metal coat hanger to hang the objects. just poked a hole in the box and viola!



So far so good.!







I am looking at this Ginormus case and thinking......crap I dont have enough primer. had to make another run to Lowse for more!
Before

After

Still looks pretty good!!!



Just hanging out!.........to dry.

as you can see my garage is rather occupied so I had to be creative on where to hang this stuff!









Resting place for the night.


Overall the priming went pretty good. I didnt see a single run. yipeee! It was wierd though. The first can I had seemed to go on very smooth. then the second can would get spurts everyonce in a while. a few eair bubbles in the primer....luckily they popped and the paitn levled and you could never tell anything happened. the directions on the back say it dries to the touch in 10 minutes, dries completely in 1 hour and totally cures in 24 hours.....well.....dont touch this stuff after 10 minutes. it was technically touchable, but your gonna leave a fingerprint behind....but no paint on your finger. it also said that you should the second coat directly after the first and within 1 hour to 48 hours. I gave my stuff about 15 minutes between coats. it was plenty dry in 15 minutes for the second coat. I went and looked at it about 2 hours after I finished painting it was was nice and hard. very smooth and seemed to have stuck well. I might try and get a close up tomorrow before I begin the painting!!!!

my Frozen order still has not shipped.....giving it till thursday or friday, then I am cancelling....its just taking way to long! Maybe tomorrow I get the mobo baby Gigabyte GA-G1975x G1 Turbo!!!!! WHooo-Hooo! oh ya, I ordered some cool Laser trip wire toy and some cold cathode lights from thinkgeek.....cool!

Thanks for tuning in, See ya tomorrow!
Kyle

NOS---

they are working now.

Yeah, the PS1 screen, that guy is a N00b. He should have packaged it better.

By The way. You dont have to Paint the I/O plate. you will have to use a diffrent one when you get your Motherboard.
