Not sure what the small o-rings could be for. They look more like sealant o-ring than anti-vibration ones. Tubing clamps (I assume too many were ordered), and what I think might be external mounting brackets for a radiator?

Yeah, tightening fittings can be annoying. I usually just use a cloth and pliers.

just gonna link to it:

I just have left over odds and ends. ill throw up a pic.

yea my thumb bleeding from all the piping and screws.

If everything's fitted, you shouldn't really need any spare screws or anything.

I assume you mean 1/2" barbs with 7/16" tubing? If you've got 1/4" barbs, 7/16" tubing is never going to fit. :P

Bleeding fingers?!

doing headshots water cooling.
and its running. no leaks yet thank god. bubbles almost completely gone now.

I'm not going to lie, this is probably the single hardest computer related thing I've ever done. my fingers are broken and my thumb is bleeding. still got to test the PC running etc etc all day tomorrow.

I've also got lots of spare screws, but you don't get instructions so dunno what to do. I don't have any jublee clips on the barbs. the ones supplied are strange and don't work at all. its 1/4" barbs with 7/16" tubing I believe, so it should be fine. my bleeding fingers are a testament to how hard they were to get on.

Jack O' Lantern Edition?!!

DO WANT!

(I'm liking everything Bitfenix releases recently)

Edit: Ok, so not Bitfenix, but still awesome. Mind you, for $800...

I'll just leave this here...

Yup, I would.

Wow, that's great, I haven't heard of anyone using tea as water cooling before. You could get some nice colours with the berry flavours and it smells nice.

The only problem is that you'd have to replace it every week or two as it's not distilled and your equipment will gunk up with tannin and stuff inside a year.

:pac:

im using this

as the reservoir

Disable hibernation and you'll save a few Gigs.

Open up disk management and initialise the hard drive, that should sort that for you.

Gracie I shall try that.

Lads, remember that news about the European commission planning to cripple graphics cards a while back? Someone linked me to this post:

I've seen dozens of youtube users that recorded at 1080p using Fraps...

My new SSD is snappy but damn is this '256GB' business just plain false advertising! As soon as windows is installed, you're down to 200. I'm cool with losing 20GB say due to Windows and the SSD's firmware or whatever primarily takes up data but damn! My SSD only reads at 238GB on the 'My Computer' screen anyways. That's about what I expect. Windows 7 isn't 38GB is it? :pac: Any way to glean some gigs back?

When I was installing windows I unplugged my HDD because neweggs video told me to. Now my comp doesn't recognise it, I assume I have to change that in the BIOS or something?
