William Hector's Blog

Long time, no post. Soo, firstly an update on me, I’m currently about to start University at the University Of Southampton studying Electronic Engineering (MEng – 4 years).

As my pc is currently in a movable state (When I got my new Graphics Card, ATI 6970 2Gb, my primary HDD cage wouldn’t fit in, thus it’s cable tied to the side). I needed a new case, I also decided to redo my water cooling setup (Plus I haven’t yet installed a waterblock on my GPU), whilst I would keep my Reserator 2, It will only be used as a radiator with no electronic in it.

Here are the case pictures, I went for a Coolermaster ACTS 840.

Ooo:

Popup I/O!

Yeah, I kinda dropped the case from about .5m, there was no damage whatsoever to the case but the floor suffered…

Ordered 98% of the parts from Mouser and Digikey; both just over £50 so free postage ^^.

Just need to get the VCO’s from mini circuits, Waiting for a reply from the European office (They have already replied with quote, just need to buy)

They arrive Monday! But, just my luck I am not here So have to leave a note for my neighbour and give them the money, I have to pay the VAT on delivery and any custom duties.

Oh also I have new VPS hosting for my blog, so the site should be faster, well as fast as WordPress could be…

Finished modding the inove theme; should work OK; any problems on browsers let me know.

Yeah, new blog.

I’ll try and put something decent on here (yeah right).

Gonna start a new project soon so there will be posts on that.
