Aurora R8, Experience of Buying

@GTS81   I cannot use them because the back logo would be facing inside the orange julius when they are pull fans and the cable is routed out the wrong side!  

Rotate the fan with the wire oriented as you choose and stick one of these over the fan hub.

You’re asking me to paste some nursery kids stuff in my rig?

@r72019   Or, I have black and orange sharpies you can borrow. 

Or, we can take the nursery kids stuff and re-market it as "custom build high performance   super illusive modification emblems"

Now we're talking! And 1 out of a 10000000 lucky customer will get a rare BOXED Intel 10980XE as part of our launch Giveaway! Yeah, Giveaways all the rage nowadays. You either enter and retweet/ follow like some crazy nut just to win some free stuff. Or you can win the genetics lottery and be a social media influencer.

BTW, I have a can of this shipped to me:

So . . . Pure Orange is the new Black 

This looks like it might fit

The "artisan paint" from I dunno... Montana? They have colored labels for their product range. Gold is for low pressure cans. Black is for high pressure cans. My search history is filled with "Montana Cans Black Black".

This looks like it might fit

    FINALLY!!!

@GTS81    The "artisan paint" from I dunno... Montana? 

Yeah, I did some looking around on the web site link, and thought maybe I might try some of that 'artisan paint', but it was real confusing for me. I get the color thing. When I finally found a 400 ml matte black, the note read "usually ships within 2 to 3 months"

FINALLY!!!

Now I will have to get back to some serious work on the Cosmos. I may have mentioned that, due to heat, I moved my home office downstairs into my wife's former home office, where it is much cooler. I have a portable air conditioner for my office upstairs, which worked fine when I am working by myself. But since I have been working remote and doing a lot of Zoom meetings, apparently it is just too loud. Other people in the Zoom video conference would ask 'what the heck is that noise', 'is that a jet engine', 'who is at the airport' 

So anyway, Cosmos is still upstairs, and not constantly 4 feet away from me where I could glance over and dream up plans, all day long.  I need to do some tubing run tests/design, and start looking at cable and wiring routes.

I talked about getting three M.2 NVMe SSDs like this  ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro  but @r72019  mentioned something about using up a lot of PCIe lanes (or some such thing).  So let me know what you think about that SSD brand and if getting three is a problem.

@GTS81   How's the processor like? Does the box smell new? Sealed?

The box appears to be sealed, and still is sealed. Everything looks bona fide, but I am going to wait just a bit to see if either of my other sources come through. If I needed to push a warranty issue with Intel, I think B&H or BLT would provide a cleaner route than eBay.

Probably will not be firing her up this weekend, but I hope to get a lot of work done toward that end.

Oh gosh I'm so excited you finally can complete your Cosmos. How's the processor like? Does the box smell new? Sealed? Any plans for booting this week? 

@GTS81    MNPCTech grill... well... that's a splurge too much.

So . . . by you NOT splurging on the MNPCTech grill . . . that is kinda like gifting something for your wife
