I'm sorry lads (and I feel real selfish saying this) but this time I likely won't be able to participate in the giveaway. I still have virtually no use for either the Dolch or Miami keycaps but exams have got me completely and utterly swamped. I'm afraid that not an offer from someone else to temporarily take them off my hands will do. Law school sucks. Perhaps next time, perhaps in September when I return to Bristol.

On the bright side, thanks to y'all I know that there is love for MX and MX-mount switches on TPU! As there seems to be no end to my clickity-clack addiction, I look forward to being able to share some clack in the near future.


I think he was referring to his post a few weeks ago...
What is the amount of interest for MX-mount keycaps among the users here who own Cherry MX / Kaihl / Gateron / Outemu keyboards?

Since I got into keyboards, I have accumulated a ridiculous amount of good keycaps and since I don't have the time to sell them, I thought someone else might want some, what with my new set of Modern Selectric on my FC660M

Given sufficient interest I may be able to offer up a Miami and a Dolch set to throw into a giveaway sometime. Both are doubleshot 104-key ANSI sets from Taihao, the Miami being PBT and the Dolch being ABS. I'm not sure about the specifics at this point i.e. whether I'll have to group them together (not pledging yet), whether to include a keypuller and what type, and someone may have to take them off my hands soon.


@tabascosauz: no worries bro, it's understandable. Take care of your studies first, then join is here when you have the time. ;)

I agree with you though, I'm loving the clicky-clacky of the keyboards myself, and you have to love the MX switches. I've found myself just using the wife's PC just to feel up the keyboard :D

yeah, ive since found that out, and NO i didnt pay, the driver refused.
I just didnt want YOU to be charged was all, and whoever that woman i spoke to @ FedEx's phone line was is a TOTAL idiot.

almost everything she told me was wrong.
then yesterday, The local Fedex office called me to schedule when i could come and Pick up the PC, and other box i had JUST had picked up from my home o_O... I was like "Why would i want that"? the woman who called (different from the 1st woman i mentioned above) told me that the "dispatch" office had told them i wanted the packages sent via Ground ONLY?? and that i refused any other shipping type.

i have NO idea where all of this stemmed from, but i cleared it up, and the item SHOULD be close to theyre destination as im posting this.

also, thanks again @yotano211

and to ALL others concerned, the PC, and its small partner box are "on vehicle for delivery" as i type this:)


**edited @ 2:04** PC and its partner package have arrived @ destination. :)

woohoo for fast shipping and booo for dumb customer service.

I ship lots of things in a single day and have more knowledge of say 80% of the postal workers. But the thing that gets me the most is dumb customer service. I can withstand bad but dumb service is the worst.
I dont ship fedex that often due to the expense but I get killer deals from time to time.

Both packages were received and unpacked last night. The PC is glorious. I haven't had time to fill up the loop and boot the PC yet, but hopefully tonight. Will also be taking some pictures.
Holy moly, the case is beautiful and Boyd did a great job of stuffing packing materials into the open spaces of the PC to make sure there was no unwanted movement. It worked well, but the tubing run from the GPU to the pump is now kinked enough that I want to deal with it before filling the loop. The upside of this is that I think the kink can be fixed simply by shortening the line a little, and if not, there was ~3 feet of extra tubing included in the motherboard box (nice touch, thanks!).
I'll be sure to keep everyone updated as I get it up and running; expect pictures, and probably some benches, in the very near future.

I fixed the kinked line and tightened a few screws.
Due to size constraints, this is the only pic I could upload at work. Sorry for blurriness. Expect more pics in the coming days as it sees some changes (Crossfire maybe?)

pretty nice and yes I would go crossfire if you can get a card with a block stupid cheap.else just replace the card
7970 is getting pretty long in the tooth and it could use the backup (not that he needs it by the sound of it still way way over kill for what hes gonna use it for)

About that... the intended recipient turned it down last night, said he couldn't accept it. I was sorely disappointed, but it's not like I can force him to take it. Sooooo I guess I have another gaming PC now. Kind of a bitter-sweet feeling, but yay for new tech to play with! Gonna start figuring out Skylake overclocking this weekend, I'm hoping for at least 4.2GHz.

I'm trying not to spend any money on PC parts for a while (bought a few things for my X79 rig recently, there should be an update in the Your PC atm thread soon with that ;)), so it would be the air-cooled 7970 from TVBox it gets paired with. Besides, all things considered, a 7970 still games just fine at 1080p.
Another point: depending on how high I clock this 6600k and how hot it gets, I may just slap an AIO on it and put this loop in my X79 system; it's been years since I could afford a full-fledged water loop and have wanted one in the X79 system since I built it. This depends on quite a few factors, though: obviously the heat output of the 6600, but also if I can source a 295x2 block from somewhere.

Lol! Yeah, Boyd did a great job. I may re-route a cable or two but strictly due to preference, not because I think I can improve the cable management.

Wait, are your system specs correct?! You have a 290 in a Sonata? Oh, and BTW, what cable management? Those cases have about as much air flow as a screen door on a submarine.

Did You notice the Fan @ the bottom of the HDD bays in the front?? its blowing upward.
I fixed the kinked line and tightened a few screws.
Due to size constraints, this is the only pic I could upload at work. Sorry for blurriness. Expect more pics in the coming days as it sees some changes (Crossfire maybe?)


Funny thing is that even though that PC is MASSIVE, it gave me a harder time regarding Placement, and management of many of the components, including the Cable management than My Phanteks Enthoo ProM Acrylic.
You'd think those HDD cages are in a great spot, but I found it to be a pain, i like to personally have all My power cables foe My HDD's going to one direction, and the last thing i wanted was to split 'em up.

Im happy the winner is happy with it tho :toast:
looks like the old kid still has a build or two left in 'em ;)
i certainly put the time and effort in.

If you're implying that your build quality has been declining, I'd like to see what it once was. Don't cut yourself short, Boyd. I could tell from the first time I opened the case that it must have been a real pain to work in, and yet the end result still came out amazing!:toast:

Im glad,and thank you.
Im happy i reached out to antec for the hinge guide replacements,and now that its your i want you to know that the 10lb doors rest on these tiny little plastic pieces,they look like little top hats, keep an eye on them, because when i got the case,they were broken.its seems like they might be a weak point,and i just wanted u 2 know.
@Random Murderer

And btw, let me know if you ever consider getting a "Z" motherboard ;)

regarding the Door hinge inserts, or anything regarding the Case.
Let me know, ill reach out to "Ryan" @ Antec support. He was very helpful, and provided them @ no charge.

Indeed thats cleaner then a crystal chalice
About that... the intended recipient turned it down last night, said he couldn't accept it. I was sorely disappointed, but it's not like I can force him to take it. Sooooo I guess I have another gaming PC now. Kind of a bitter-sweet feeling, but yay for new tech to play with! Gonna start figuring out Skylake overclocking this weekend, I'm hoping for at least 4.2GHz.

I'm trying not to spend any money on PC parts for a while (bought a few things for my X79 rig recently, there should be an update in the Your PC atm thread soon with that ;)), so it would be the air-cooled 7970 from TVBox it gets paired with. Besides, all things considered, a 7970 still games just fine at 1080p.
Another point: depending on how high I clock this 6600k and how hot it gets, I may just slap an AIO on it and put this loop in my X79 system; it's been years since I could afford a full-fledged water loop and have wanted one in the X79 system since I built it. This depends on quite a few factors, though: obviously the heat output of the 6600, but also if I can source a 295x2 block from somewhere.

Lol! Yeah, Boyd did a great job. I may re-route a cable or two but strictly due to preference, not because I think I can improve the cable management.
Um I hate to rain on the parade but you can't overclock that machine its a B150 board they don't support multiplier oc I am not even sure if you can change the strap

I hate to be that guy but I's a reckon your OC adventure will be rather short... board should be a B150...unless I'm mistaken ;)

Perfectly understandable not wanting to be that guy. It is worth mentioning, though, that although this is a B150 board, it DOES have overclocking support, though I'm not sure how in-depth, hence my relatively low goal of 4.2GHz. Multiplier overclocking and a slew of voltages and memory options are included in the BIOS.
Im glad,and thank you.

One already broke, lol. No worries though, they hold the side panel just fine and after noticing it(not sure if it happened in shipping or if I did it. betting on the latter) I've been super careful. It seems that as long as both halves of the broken piece are present, they function as intended.

even if only half of one is there it will work " i only had one for a side . ;) we CAN get more, for free likely.
and yea it DOES support OC to some degree, or atleast i saw the options in bios. try to remember people, just because the "Z" isnt there, or even the "H" , it MIGHT have some support, although it will admittedly be likely terrible

really it does support multi control ? it *shouldn't* it might support setting the multi up to the maximum boost state but it should't support anything higher then 40 or 42 unless msi has done some hacks which is good to know
in which case you should be-able to hit 4.5 with minimal effort

Granted this is from a review and has a 6700k, but the options should still be there:




There's also a page that has like 1000 memory timings to adjust.
