Oil Change DONE

Fuel Treatment DONE
Thermostat DONE

Should only be 2 hours max work...4 with the appropriate number of beers and conversation.


AND....the TJ is on Dolly's...we should be able to push it around.

Good enough?

Indeed.

Not my best work, but gets the job done. This case is VERY tight, as you can see is basically as tall as the mobo. Not a lot of room to hide wires. I did add another 120mm fan to the heatsink after I took the pic though.

Hell, I paid 400 for my i5-680 a couple years ago. ..Never even finished the build cause I moved here and the Jeep swallowed my wallet.

Its just like jeep part shopping, bide your time and find the deal.

The mobo,cpu and ram were $180, The video card was $200. The PSU, hdd, case etc I had. I'll be reselling my old hardware, sure It won't go for much, but a little money in the pocket is better then nothing.

Once build one into a wooden table with a glass top...micro-ATX and the glass top was the side panel of the box...all lit up and water cooled...it was sweet.

Cordless everything....so you sat at the coffee table...hooked up to the tv...

Yeah, I was into that whole scene as well, lan parties etc. It just became to tedious. I'm at the point where I just want things to work, who cares what it looks like.
