Professional PC wrap job! indistinguishable from any Prebuilt PC maker/retailer :laugh:

complete with instructions too, just like pro's

all jokes aside, it may look unsightly, but this method seems to be the closest method to guarantee that the recipient gets a undamaged PC.
Also, You notice the addition of a "Self Destruct" switch on the front Bezel, in case of emergencies

PC is on its way, I shipped it out on Saturday (the 30th), but there was no acceptance scan i think, becasue it showed only "a label has been created" until a few minutes ago (the 1st). maybe i dont understand usps shipping options, but i thought "2 day priority" meant it would arrive in 2 business days? :rolleyes:

i dont know, but now it says it will arrive on the 5th. im guessing it will be sooner than the 5th, but still more than 2 days.

I think that USPS doesn't guarantee 2 day delivery around the holidays. It always seems to take 4 to 6 days this time of the year.

Well @neatfeatguy I have a little bit of bad news. I just found the remote control to the cases RGb lighting that I was supposed to include in that box (and didn't) because it's sitting on my damn dining room table right now :banghead:

I'll send it out ASAP. I swear to god my memory gets worse every year. :rolleyes:

No worries. My brother will swing around in a couple of weeks from now to pick up the computer. He's all thumbs when it comes to tech so when it arrives here I can make sure it's going without issues, he has zero faith in his ability to do anything other then plug the monitor into the GPU, plug in the keyboard/mouse and speakers. Just an example of how well he commands the power of all thumbs; he was trying to connect his steam link to the TV the other night so we could play a group game and for the life of him he had troubles getting the HDMI cable plugged in. He had me do it after a few minutes of fumbling around, I walked over, took the cable and plugged it in in less than 3 seconds.

So, I've got plenty of time to have it all checked over before he picks it up. Thanks for the heads up, though.

RealNeil · Jan 1, 2018

Still getting a few thing together. Looks like another CPU, RAM, and Mainboard, this time Ryzen based.

Happy New Year to you all.

neatfeatguy · Jan 5, 2018

Computer has arrived and came very well packed. Small issue of one of the fans having fell off the GPU, but should only be a minor task to fix. It'll be something I'll attend to tomorrow once the computer and everything has had time to acclimate to the extreme weather change from being outside in negative temps to the warm 68 degrees inside. I've had the computer unpacked for about 30 minutes now, but I can still feel the cold air coming off it.

I'll post up some pics tomorrow sometime once things are up and running.

@jboydgolfer Awesome job with the build and packing. Nothing in the box was moving/shifting when I picked it up and carried it inside. If the fan is an issue, I'll shoot you a message and let you know.

Norton · Jan 5, 2018

Good to hear that you got it!

Keep me posted on this... will hunt up a replacement set if you need them

@jboydgolfer Damn man, what'd you do to the 780ti? It was in pristine condition with all the original packaging when I sent it to you.

neatfeatguy · Jan 6, 2018

I got the computer up and going. I installed the hard drive - she wasn't recognized at first, so I verfied in BIOS it was being seen, rebooted and there she was. Easy enough.

Here are a couple of shots:

However, the 780Ti, the fan on it spins, but intermittently. I've attached a short video below.

I'll get some replacements. ill contiue the matter at hand with you in PM, it would be best i think.

i ordered 2 replacements, but they will be a while. i placed the order on amazon shortly ago, ill keep lookign to see if i can find quicker delivered ones, if i can i will cancel the order , and order with the faster option.

RealNeil · Jan 6, 2018

It turned out well. I really like that case. In fact, I just bought one of them. :oops:

I'm sure that the GPU issue will be handled in record time.
You're in good hands with jboydgolfer.

Enjoy that PC, and congrats again!

It was a fun case to build in ,definitely. I've had the pleasure of building in many cases over my decades and I have to say this is one of the more fun ones. The remote controls a nice touch. i liked how it looked horizontal.....i dont think the case in its default state supports it properly IMO, but theres something there. stylish AF. theres decent room behind the bezel iirc (hint)

BarbaricSoul · Jan 6, 2018

just messing with you @jboydgolfer

It may have been doing that when I had it, can't really say either way. But if it did, I never noticed it.

well, you got me, i have to admit....my blood pressure went up about 25% upon reading that

im awaiting approval from neatfeat regarding shipping details, then ill order a pair of new EVGA branded ones from the OEM maker

Nice build @jboydgolfer ... there's room for my couch in there. Ok, maybe just a small puppy

jboydgolfer · Jan 7, 2018

incidentally, these are the Fans i ordered (ebay, from China, so they take about 12 business days), for anyone who might have been curious, or possibly another person who may find themselves in a similar situation to NeatFeat. theyre pretty cheap, so its not as big of an issue as the wait is

they seem to be the exact OEM fans EVGA uses. afaik, EVGA (as well as other AIB's) use Powerlogic fans. They are classed as 92mm, but are actually 87mm iirc.

Got a set myself from ebay to replace fans on an MSI GTX 980 and they were identical to the originals... minus the blade I broke ofc :oops:

Hey! There are no RGB LEDs on them? What!?
