Help how do I add pictures?? I have done this before but for some reason i can not find how to do this.. I am at work and our PC's have IE 7 on them i wonder if this is the reason..

 

[Jeffinslaw]

The way I post pictures to the site is by uploading them to Photobucket and then posting the HTML link to the pictures in an

Code:

[IMG][/IMG]

.

You can also upload them to the site directly using the "Image" button in responses. It's a picture of a house next to the paperclip (attachment) and the movie clip (movie). I hope that helps! And subbed by the way!

thanks for this information but for some reason all i can get is the basic editor I have not option to do aanything with post, nothing. I think it is because i am using computer at work and it still has IE7 on it.

 

[seross69]

I have so many pictures I want to show will try my laptop when i finish work.. hopefully i can put pictures with this..

 

[Chunky_Chimp]

I've replied to your PM; you may want to try again once you get access to a system with a browser newer than IE7.

 

[seross69]

Here you can see all of the EK Water Block water cooling items I have.



More cooling and some Computer parts



Here we have fans, more computer parts ETC



Radiators, AQ5 items, and more stuff to unpack from Newegg. I have been buying for the past 2 months so I was able to get most everything on sale.



more items to be unboxed, a lot of items from eBay. nice thing about getting nice Bonus from work as I have been able to play and buy from their also.



New tools and items from amazon, heat gun, insulation, new soldiering station all kinds of goodies.



Another picture of the EK Water Blocks water cooling items and can also see I bought lights so I can take nice pictures but it did not work so please don't make fun of my pictures I am doing the best I can. Will be getting new Camera Soon..



Now you can see some of why I named this Excessive Insanity.. going to build exactly what I want and how I want... hope you follow my insanity.

More pictures to follow tomorrow.

 

[seross69]

More and more Goodies to come. But guys I work in the Oil Industry in Indonesia and I am suppose to work 28 days and be home 28 days but last time I was only home 5 days so all I got to do was to move into my office space inventory the items and take pictures of the boxes. but I have lots of these pictures and lots of good pictures of goodies for you to see.....

 

[Jeffinslaw]

And this is all being stored in a storage locker??? Better keep paying those fees or else your locker will end up on storage wars and be someones dream locker lol.

Jeffinslaw

 

[seross69]

I know and you are so right but I paid for a year in advance.. and actually this is a office space I got with T-1 internet, phone and power for 250 month. it is 10 by 20... So this will keep peace in my home since we live in an apartment. At least until I bring the monster home!!!!!

 

[YP5 Toronto]

In recent news...there has been a series of break-ins at storage facilities across the US. Officials are unsure as to the cause for dramatic increase.

Subbed for insanity.

LOL God I hope not because I would hate to say how much money I actually have in there. but it is real secure and I do have insurance. 2 different passwords to get in and then I have big lock on it. plus it is manned 24 hours.. but now I don't know if I will be able to sleep worried about this...

 

[mandrix]

This is totally insane.

I like it!

Are you going to be sleeving everything?
Aquaero's for pump/fan control?

 

[Hukkel]

I don't even want to know how much this will cost in total. But I do know your electricity bill is going to get a fair bit higher

But it will be an amazing build for sure. Good luck

 

[seross69]

Yes Mandrix everything will be sleeved have a big order coming from MDPC-X (actually 6 orders as he had to break it down like this to ship it.), Already bought about 100 foot of para cord in various colors trying to see what looks best. and i promised my 4 year old daughter that i would used her 4 favorite colors (this makes wife happy and this good thing as you know) the colors she wants me to use are green, purple, orange and Pink. case is going to be white so i am going to slip some white and black sleeving in their also.

Aquaero's are going to be for fan control for sure, mabe pump also. but i am going to use 12v relays like you use in the car for my TEC chiller and use the Aquaero's to turn the TEC's on and off depending on temps. these relays dont use but may be .01 amp so should be no problem that is why i also purchased a Multi switch to go along with the 2 Aquaero's LT and the 4 poweradjust 2 USB I have.

Multiswitch is on or off control according to AquaComputer. So i will use this to control my TEC Chiller!!!!!

Well that is the plan and hope it al works out.

been doing research for about 8 months so i think i have it all down but testing will prove it for sure...

 

[seross69]

Hukkel

Yes you are right and i have a 3000 watt UPS to use with it so i dont trip any breakers..

LOL

Like I said Excessive insanity..

Sounds like you need to keep it here after you build it and use it as a dedicated cruncher/folder. That way you would have reason to build another one lol. Definitely excessive insanity.
