Nice! Ya, I was the same way with my first mini ITX build. More of a "would be kinda cool to try to cram as much stuff as I can in there" but now, I really like the compactness and I don't really push it hard enough to need massive cooling, so I was thinking of doing another one. Plus, been wanting an excuse to upgrade from my 970 to a 1070/1080

So I've been watching different Australian series.

Wouldn't mind spectating a GRC event, but it's either Seattle or LA, both kinda far for me.

Seriously, why is it that the Australians have all the best racing series lol

Not sure what details you want specifically, but here is a parts list with Newegg links:

Case: Corsair Obsidian 250D
Motherboard: MSI Z270I Gaming Pro Carbon
CPU: I7-7700k
RAM: G.Skill TridentZ 2x8gb DDR4 3200 14-14-14-34
GPU: EVGA GTX 1070 FTW2 (Paid $460 from B&H Photo - prices for these are going through the roof thanks to cryptocurrency miners)
SSD: Samsung 960 EVO m.2 500gb
Power supply: EVGA 750 P2
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i V2 AIO

Ugh... Been meaning to update my rig. Still running am3, FX 8350. At least it's got a SSD and the GTX 970. Waiting to see how amd's ryzen performs long term

Yeah, both are far. I think Seattle was the better course layout tho???

Cuz the Aussies encourages "bumping is racing." lol

Funeral tomorrow. Second one I've attended this year, both fathers.
Make sure your family members listen to their doctors.

Clipdat · 06-26-2017, 04:54 PM

That would mean my dad would actually have to GO to his doctor first. Sigh.

Who does paint correction here? I went to a carwash and got a bunch of swirls and now they're bothering me, I know some of you are pros at paint correction...

Yesterday I got a socket wrench with 3/8 drive and a 10mm socket thingy to attach so I could remove the two bolts in my engine bay that secure the sound tube.

I haven't actually fully _tried_ removing them with it yet but it looks like the socket I bought is too short :| Too many cables and things obstructing my way to the bolts, or at least one of them.

Clipdat · 06-27-2017, 01:15 PM

What carwash? Must've been something pretty abrasive if it made it through your opticoat.

WTF is a socket "thingy"? Never use the word "thingy" when discussing these items lol.

You need one of these. 3/8" socket extension.

Chamois in Danville. Got lazy. They use microfiber towels to dry your car but who knows how dirty those are. Could've developed over time too but I haven't noticed swirls this bad until after I went to the car wash.

Dude, just buy a socket set already. It's not worth the hassle.

Yeah, I probably should've just bought a set instead of a single socket.
