Project: Frozen Sun

SOS! The IRS Agents just dragged my dad away. Now whos going to pay the rent on our cardboard box!? Ah well, at least I have my computer!:) We got all sorts of goodies since our last update, and we've been dying to show you it! well, my dad actually DID die, but we already ordered most of the important stuff, so the internals are on there way! At any rate, our new trinkets:

Fessor 1 UV Black Coolant

Pretty eh? Black in the visible spectrum and transparent blue in UV. :) The picture is obviously from the site itself, and split in half

Can you guess what this next item is? Don't ruin the surprise, make a guess before you read the answer!

Its.....
A box of packing peanuts! Woo Hooo! Not just any peanuts, these beautiful limited edition package guardians come in in a neon green-tinged hue! :P

Next up, a too-many in one card reader! :)

Of course, this mod wouldn't be my own without at least two ways to insult my dad without his noticing in writing, so we picked up this LCD fan! I sold him on the idea tht I would put messages such as "dad rocks" on it. More likely it'll just give a constant weight reading from a pressure sensor in the chair whenever he isn't looking! :P

Finally, the money shot. Prepare yourselves ladies and gentlemen, you are about to witness the single lagest group of items in a single photo in this ENTIRE update! XD in the photo, from front to back: assorted black rivets which we may or may not use to hold our case together (i naddition to the bubble gum we're using presently of course), green hose clamps, thermal stuff, ArctiClean thermal prep stuff, and a 30 LED string, sleeved for FREE courtesy Performance PCs.com. "Sleeve it and they will come." Amen.

Note that the rivets and hose clamps are jsut representatives of a larger number of each. :P

Until next time, CK out.

Oooooh nice. I was going to get some articlean but after seeing how well zippo fluid works I couldn't see the point lol.

ooooo new stuff i have no idea what it dose but it is newwwww oooooooo aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Is it just me or is the boy starting to get a mite lippy? :mad:

This is what happens when he doesn't get beat on regular basis...:eek:

Maybe I should just trade him in... Yeah... maybe a contest...

:banana:Thats it a contest! :banana:

In 50 words or less you need to explain how if you replaced the boy you would make my life better by not needing to be beaten so often. The winner might get all the boy's computer stuff, MP3 players, Wii's...ect.:D (or he might not...):(

Hey guys, this is my fir-*hiss* update since I barricaded off-*pop*-room from the rest of the house. I put *crackle* a sign declaring that I wasn't hiding in my room on the door. It seems to have fooled my dad so far. I also-

Anyways, back to the update. First off, *snap* our new flow meter has arrived, and yes, its the right *static* size.

Next up, our beautiful SoundBlaster Fatal1ty Xtreme Gamer audio card!!! how can you not love it on sight? :)

Finally, a device who's sheer beauty has made me fall in love with it, our new ASUS Maximus Formula Mother Board!

I could go on for pages and pages about how great it is, but since i'm not here to advertise for them, I trust you can find the relevant info. :) Suffice to say its super ultra high end!

Most of the rest of our system also came two days ago, but we dont have pictures yet, so i'll keep you in suspense! :)

Nice mobo. Personally I like DFI boards better but ASUS are good quality, expensive though.

Josh's Log: Day 2
*CRSSSH* Hey guys, *crackle* I snuck out far after dark to snag some
*static*-ictures of the new parts. Beyold the power and *pop* -ajesty of
our amazing new computer parts!

We can start simpl-*hiss* with the nuts and bolts:

Next, the pretty box says it all, Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX! Ooooh.
Ahhhh. 'Nuf said.

Next up, our read and write DVD drives! (one is just read, the other
r/w)

Next, a full TB of memory!

And finally, a computer just isn't a computer without working, so we
bought ourselves Vista 64x OEM!

Finally, a close call with Father. I snuck downstairs for some much
needed meditation for the upcoming week and a half of dedicated building,
and he caught me in a state of trance!

For whatever reason, he didn't kill me when he caught me at it...
Nevertheless, I shall continue hiding out 'til fu-*pop*-ther notice.

Stay *bzzzz*-ght here, we'll be working nonstop all through next week!
Expect a *crack*-date every day.

Josh, signing off.

I take it your spring break is coming up?

8800GTX? I want it!

Sometimes I just can't believe how lazy the boy is....

We workrd on the mod all day yesterday. Took pictures even. I, with my very own 2 little hands down loaded said pics to our pc. All the boy had to do was update this thread.

I don't see an update, do you see an update? 1 little thing I ask the boy to do and does it get done? :(

If laziness was a disease the boy would be terminally ill! :hurt:

On the other hand I can't believe that no one has entered the contest to replace the boy. A room of his own, his own TV, $1000 worth of Mind Storms stuff, an 18 speed bike...ect ad infinitum. All that and me as a father. How could life be any better? I couldn't, that's how. The boy is living the dream and doesn't even know it. 3 square meals a day and beatings whenever he needs them. :eek: I tell you it just doesn't get any better than that! Ungrateful whelp!
