That thing is pretty cool looking.

Thanks for the pic DanNEBTB, that pretty much illustrates the issue.

Also, consider all the other components and volume is not the only issue; so is mass. Getting the weight supported could be problematic. I suppose the body could be resting on the horizontal surface....

Neat stuff.

If you're a Glenfiddich fan (been there), give Cragganmore a try. REALLY good stuff. Also, on the lighter side (but definitely not lacking in flavor) Dalwhinnie and Oban and for the really heavy, peatty tasting stuff, try Lagavulin (usually want to mix a little room-temp water with this one and sip it slowly). These all should be priced similar to the Glenfiddich.

Good to see you're fiddling with your mod again.

I use several tools depending upon the ease of accessiblity.

For small areas, or inside corners I use the Dremel and a cloth wheel

For larger areas I use a angle grinder with a muslin wheel or the DeWalt Cordless drill with a muslin wheel attachment.

Don't even put hardware in it yet. Save up some cash and be the first OCN member to jump on the nehalem bandwagon

Well I assumed you used a cloth wheel or buffing pad. I meant what compounds do you use to actually buff with the wheel man

Hi.

So about hardware. I'm still undecided, but I am thankful for the input and comments.

TnB mentioned Nehalem. It is my intention to put said system into Halcyon once this Project is complete. Sale of sig hardware is what is going to sponsor the Nehalem build.... that is my daydream at anyrate.

...or I may simply transfer hardware... I dunno

Omega. You bring up a good point.

I suppose now is a good as a time as any other to toss my about hardware and cost.

It sucks.

That having been said, we must accept that we chase the will-o-the-wisp. No matter how smokin' the system is (on any front or aspect of the PC Hobby/Profession) it will soon be de-throned and cast off to the side..... very soon. It is a continous pursuit, that one of performance.

If one can stay closer than others for whatever reason that life has given, I say do it.



Wasted: It is the tools and the patience

Repo: Sorry... forgot that part. I use red rouge.
