Very nice spec, can we get some pictures? I love the 690 case

 

[tbk1974]

got a sneaking suspicion that this bitta work is gonna be thrown together damn quick

 

[Corfate]

Orrrr, put off the work and do it while you download any programs you want on the rig? Now thats efficiency

[DeadEyeDuk]

Haha had my "Then GTFO" banner all ready as well!!

Nice stuff there tbk, and good luck getting that work done...it'll either go really fast or reeeaaalllly slow (although not as slow as the wait for the rig to arrive...because NOTHING is slower than that in the whole world! )
