Low Prices,Fast Shipping,Huge inventory and Great customer service.
Honestly how can you go wrong.
I wanted to write this just to thank them for saving my butt today because if the parts i ordered were wrong it would have really messed me up on my deadline.
Thank you Performance PC !
and i Highly Recommend them !

had a similar issue, Their customer service is top notch, and they reply very quickly. Messed up the size of my tubing when I first ordered mine. E-mailed sales@performance-pcs.com and they changed it without issues.

I wish shipping prices could be a little better, but I'd rather have excellent service for my parts shopping, and also being able to shop almost all of my needed parts at the same website. thumb.gif

For instance i cant draw at all and anything with wood involved forget it!. Lol So find what your most talented in and incorporate that into your builds.
Take Care and hope this helps make your day a bit brighter !

Not everyone has the same luck as you mate frown.gif. 24hrs so far and they have not replied back about the bad controller I got. Its pretty typical for them. Either they ignore you or they pass along the buck. On rare occasions, they will surprise you and do something for the customer. As many know, their customer service is very lacking sometimes.

Glad everything got sorted out for you thumb.gif

As you can see 2 of them are open and these Fans are virtually Silent! And push Great Airflow at low RPM!
I have been dying to share these Fans with you guys for a while now because i am all excited about them.The Mass Effect 3 Build should be very quiet even with x13 140mm Fans in it.
NZXT you've done it again! Incredible Fans from an incredible Company. Lol look how low wattage they take to run. Just amazing. I compared them to some other 140mm Fans i have here including my Akasa 140mm Viper. These NZXT fans are way quieter ,Take way less Voltage to run and are just Amazing!
Hope you guys love them and am so Glad i have the Opportunity to share them with you guys!

Thank You yet again NZXT ! and Great Job on another incredible Product ! thumb.gif
Oh did i mention? Yes i highly recommend these Fans!



Take Care guys MybadOmen ans remember More Updates soon

When will these fans be available for sale? Looking to replace a broken noisy 140mm Lian-Li fan.

Depends on what you want to do with it. But yes, you can heat up acrylic to a malleable state in this manner. The only problem is surface damage. What is the surface contacting as it's heating up? What you'll end up doing is having to support, and potentially clamp, all 4 edges of the plastic on a frame, and watch for it to droop as it melts.

The other thing is that you can't vacuum form acrylic. Most often, it's too viscous when melted.

You might be better off using a heat gun for larger areas. It takes longer, but you're less likely to damage the plastic.

What are you trying to do?

My buddy with the machine shop uses heat and a Vacuum chamber he made. He makes a mold heats the acrylic and the applies Vacuum. Its pretty awesome to watch.But he uses a roughing pump for Vacuum.Its a pretty big machine to create that much vacuum.It can also be done with a turbo though.I used to do that stuff for a living when i worked in the Semiconductor field .

UPDATE:

Here is an update guys just showing the State of the Mass Effect Build at this moment. Many don't realize when Modding the build comes apart and back together many many times.I figured i would show it this time.

This is just to make some small changes to the backing plate for the PSU and some other things that needed adjusting. And this was all done Old School! No laser cutters here. Just Dremels,Rotozip and lots of filing and sanding. It still needs to be smoothed out a bit more tonight. Then it all goes back together. and then apart again a few more times. And finally when everything is in place and working 100%. Thats when i will start painting.

Here are some Photo's for you guys:

Had to speed up the Drill press a little.I was running on the lowest speed.This is just showing how you change speeds on a real drill press:

700

And Back to Work. You can only imagine how much work it is taking a Piece of steel and making everything from scratch with just minor hand tools.It takes allot of time ,but at the end i guess you could say its a truly hand crafted PC. Damn what i would do for a Laser cutter and small Milling machine home . Sponsors? Lol just kidding. anyway back to work smile.gif

As you can see its getting Dark out so time to move inside and keep on sanding everything even and smooth. Here is the Current State of the Mass Effect build as of right now!

What i actually got accomplished in those photos :

.. Rough cut the whole for the PSU wires to go through.
.. Made some of the other holes a little bigger for the wires to go through (They were a bit to small) .
.. Made new Holes for the top and Bottom Fan wires to run neatly and hidden.
.. Most wires will be coming from under the motherboard so opened them up maby 1 cm.
.. Drilled all the wholes where i will be applying Rivets to reassemble the build when complete.
.. Made new holes for mounting the new Modified Drive Bays .
.. Also made new holes for the Reservoir Mounts (I will still be Notching these when i get to my buddies and can use the Bridgeport.to make them adjustable.)
.. Filed and shaped the metal till my hands were ready to bleed.
.. Next i used a DA sander and sanded everything smooth with a 220 Grit sand paper.(I want to keep the back plate roughed up so the self etching primer will stick very good when it comes time to paint.

Probably forgetting something. But as you can see something so little takes allot of work if you want the end results to be a very clean looking build.This build will go back together and Apart many more times Just this week before everything is good.

New Parts i had to order to get things Moving:

This Build is Completely Liquid cooled by dual Loops all EK, Primochill and Mayhem's but sometimes it is impossible to not use other adapters to make things work.So this is where i had no choice but to use other products not made by my sponsors. (I am sure they understand ) So 99.9% of this build is cooled by EK ,Pimochill and Mayhem's and if i had it my way it would be 100% but we can only do what we can do.

2 of these adapters to move my pumps down a little.

400

3 of these so i could get to the fittings underneath coming through the Pass through's

400

1 of these Blocks to make the angle from the bottom Rad heading up to the top pass through nice and clean.

580

4 of these Low profile 90 degree elbows because the ones i had were to tall to work.

150

Just those few fittings plus shipping was close to another 100 bucks ! So when people think sponsorship mean's is about getting a free build they are crazy.I spens a $100. couple days and i also have a fortune into this build.But don't get me wrong the build would not be possible without my Sponsors.But i am doing it not for the free stuff but for the ability to Show off the companies i love and use regardless if they sponsor me or not.Every Sponsor i have are Companies i Highly recommend and have before this build and will after this build.

I also ordered some other stuff Last night for the build.

1 sheet. Another 24" x 24" of 3M Di-noc

270

100 feet of the White Para-cord i forgot in my last order because i though i still had some:

423

50 white and 50 Red 3mm LED's and some assorted resistors that i will be using to make somethings with:

360

360

300

And some other small stuff



Also Have some stuff coming from my Sponsor Primochill / Tyler Industries Thank Guys!

6 Led plugs sorta like these that i used in Venom but they are from Primochill and not something they have for sale that i can see.

700

12 of there Ghost Barbs More then i need but this will ensure i have enough.

300

And also 12 black Clamps and they might be sending some other things also.


Plus another great thing is my Birthday is in 2 days and i always wanted to Make High Quality stickers and Vinyl Decals. So i needed a really good printer for it.My wife bought and came home with both a Really nice Laser printer and really nice Inkjet printer from a Family member that bought them recently and never used them. I have been wanting to get this equipments for a long long time because in the long run it will save me a fortune on my Mods.

Anyway here they are:

The Laser Printer HP2025: (This on prints incredibly high quality)

700

And the Inkjet which Canon from the Sticker making threads i read is one of the best Inkjets for making Stickers and Decals:

700

700



Also another small update i would like to show.I spent about an hour Polishing up the front Face plate i made for my Pump cage from aluminum. (it came out very nice)

700


More UPDATES Soon! Keep Watching!
