Of course none of this would have been at all possible without a large donation from what could be the most generous person in the whole world. I have to admit I have teared up a little.
sometimes you get beat down, sometimes you are down so far it seems like there is no way back up. And sometimes though rarely a perfect stranger comes along and scoops you up and hands you a box full of slightly used computer hardware. what more can I say it was my lucky day. There really is such a thing. Thanks a million for the parts and 100 billion times more for restoring my faith in humanity. I don't want to point you out although some of you already know, but I think it would be great if everyone knew what a great person you are (not just me) I am just afraid that someone will try to take advantage of your unparalleled kindness.

ROFL well I upgraded my bong res with an 11 inch window and hinged door. I want to mount the bubble light so it can been seen through this window and light up the water lvl in the res so I know when to refill it. I have never seen bubble lights on a PC before and I should have got 4 of them to put a couple in my case but I didn't have the extra 12 bucks. only 4

Looking good.....Its getting there...I want to see what that bong will do..Are you still thinking about using the bong as a kind of chiller for the main loop? I bet that might work pretty good, thats a good idea you had there, I've never seen or heard of that being done before...

yeah your talking about the double loop idea...cooling your radiator with your bong on a separate loop. It dose make since don't it. I would have to come up with a radiator for that but yes I am still planning on trying that out. that way I can keep the loop closed to protect my D-tek and use additives that I could not use on a open loop.

so far I have mounted the HSF on to the new 1650pro but when I went to pop it in I realized it was PCI-e ROFL, this is ok though because the mobo I have coming has 2 pci-e slots on it. I then tried to install the new ram...I got my little bag of 20 pin jumpers out and realized I only had 7 of the 8 I should have...I spent a good amount of time looking on the floor for where it was dropped at but still can't find it..so I went to a local PC shop and showed the lady the bag of jumpers and she said "what are those" "I have never seen those before" "we don't have any of those"...I asked her why she was working in a PC shop if she dosnt know anything about PC. she didn't have an answer for me so I left. I guess these little jumpers are hard to find...I wonder if I could just twist some wire on each of the sets to jump them manualy...any ideas?

Use the 1gb of DDR2 Corsair memory in the picure DD, Is either type of memory you got compatible with your old board?

yeah thats what I was talking about...I have 2 DDR slots and 2 of the old sd. When DDR came out the mobo companys had to start making their boards upgradable to ddr but still keeping the option to use the old ram. they came up with this FAIL sauce method of putting a jumper strip next to the ram slots so you could jump them and change the type of ram. however they didnt use normal jumpers they used these skinnyer 20 pin jumpers x8 you put them on to use the DDR. I had a full set but for some reason I'm missing one and nobody seems to know what the hell they are.
