My son posted a video on his youtube channel about the build. Fun video :clap:

Thanks! This entire process has been a joy. Seeing it all boot up on that killer display was icing on the cake :thumbup: Keep an eye on ebay, you can still find a deal(ish). I ended up getting more than I needed and paying more than I wanted but I decide I have come this far, might as well go...

Now to wrap up this build log, literally. To finish it up I wanted to do something special for this build. I toyed around with paint ideas but finally decided to do a wrap. I have not seen very many, if any wraps so I fired up photoshop and started sketching. I’m an aviation nut, and flight...

Mine has the 4 usb 3's. I am afraid I don't know much about adapters for USBc

Uhm, yep. That's my problem:crazy: Works now. Thanks. Cured a couple other problems I thought I had sorted out.

Great start! That power plug is very cool. I wish I had seen this before I started on mine. Maybe the next one.

This build is more or less complete. I do have one more little piece of bling to add, but that wont happen until next weekend though ;) All is working so far. I have a few bugs and oddities but its only been up for 24 hours. I should get it all sorted out in the next few days. About the Dell...

Very clean build! Killing it on Geekbench! I can't get 18,3 to stick on mine? It always reverts back to 14,2 at next start up???

David from The Laser Hive responded to me. There is supposed to be a wiring diagram in the kit. I must have tossed it with the other garbage. If anyone else is curious now or in the future, here is his response: Switch connections Blue/White pair: Blue = Power Switch positive (PowerSw+); White...

The mailman brought the rest of my building materials this week. specifically the Laser hive front panel and fan mount. I will get to the front panel later. The fan mount is super simple and clean. I love all the stuff laser hive is putting out. Quality materials. Ideally you would take the...

I am afraid I’m going to be running this on the internal gpu if things don’t get any better soon. You can’t find a used one either. Everyone is out making money off these things. Can’t say that I blame them. Dust I have been trying to think of a simple way to keep the dust and gunk out of this...

We got a little more done. My 14 year old son jumped in and offered up some much needed help/support. Motherboard tray and back plate got installed Saturday. We had a small hiccup with the JB weld not hardening. I must not of mixed it properly? Made a new batch and now the mother board...

I had time after work to get started today but had to take the wife and kids out to eat first. Boy can they ever eat slow, and wife, just had to talk and talk :) The Mountain Mods kit came in the other day. This is a really nice kit. The tray will hold either an mATX or full ATX board. If you...

I just won this on ebay:headbang: http://www.dell.com/en-us/work/shop/dell-34-ultrasharp-curved-monitor-u3417w/apd/210-adtr/monitors-monitor-accessories I’m not a huge fan of Dell, or there monitors. I have two at work. One is ok but the other is terrible. But the reviews on this monitor are...

I should probably clarify my purchase decision with Mountain mods and Laser Hive. After reading this post I sound a bit schizophrenic. The dream of course was to buy all the goods from Laser Hive (mother board mount, back plate with CPU cutout, front fan mount and front USB/power switches). But...

My “plan” is to mount the psu up top along with the original dvd burner. Then 2 120mm fans mounted in front and my original hard drive cage either hanging off the shelf or mounted on the floor. Then the guts and massive cpu cooler (I hope it fits?) and 2 80mm fans blowing out the back. I have...

This is my very first build. I have been dreaming/planning this for over a year now. Of course when I finally get the funds, and I am ready to build, prices have gone crazy. Go figure. Why: I am starting with my very own, pre-ordered in 2003, dual 2.0 powermac G5. This thing was a beast and...

Bored waiting on parts so started taking it down a little farther.

Garbage!
