Small update. We started to work on the print! We will be making our very own camo pattern. Not sure if I want the vinyl to have blaze or not. I think a more standard camo pattern and let the blaze orange pop a little more. The smoke though. Oh, yeah. This is a much better vinyl. I can...

So after 3 test cuts to get sizes close, we did the first wet install. We still have some tweaks to make here and there. From here on, all the installs will be wet installs. Only way to really line up all those cutouts. So, we are so very close, yet, so far away! We will have to adjust those...

Its not really about getting the exact same size. A scan or stencil will not take into account the actual dimensions you want on the vinyl. You don't want it on the exact edge, it's easy to get snagged and pull the vinyl away. You want it slightly back, so it presents a smoother surface if...

Now for the good stuff. THIS, is my something special. We are going to produce a vinyl wrap for this little lady. Josh sent me some design files to get me started. I have access to a full vinyl print shop. We grabbed some vinyl and did the first test cut! Laid the first piece on. As...

Let's get this gal fired up! We got some gaming to do! Got her ready to test. SHE LIVES!! Get me some Windows on there. Ohhh, the colors. Love it! She is going to be a showpiece where I work. Gotta look good! Ok, couple of tests with Ghost Recon: Wildlands. Also ordered...

Let's get some power to this sucker! HDPLEX HiFi 300W DC-ATX (nanoATX Series). By far the hardest part to get. Took me about 6 weeks of waiting on this sucker. Direct from HDPlex. Yep, looks right. We don't need no stinkin case.....well, yeah we do actually. Wired to test. Dell...

Thanx! The power supply slot was already cut in the case foam. Just happens to fit the Dell 330w just right. Only had to trim the foam from around the s4. It was a free case, so the price was just right! To be honest, I never knew the 960 EVO was out of stock. Ordered one from Newegg a couple...

Memory and CPU next. Corsair Vengeance RGB And installed. The i7-7700 Here it is with the Noctua cooler.

Got the new mobo in. Quite a bit done now. Time to update! Looking good. Love that carbon fiber. That is going in the theme deck. There will be some extra stuff happening there. Next up, Samsung 960 EVO 250gb. Ohh. purty! It's so dang cute! Mounts on the backside of the MSI.

Don't know yet. I just started opening boxes. Made a mistake and ordered the wrong mobo. Have to wait until Monday to start the build and weigh components. Until then, I am working on something special for this build. Stay tuned! It should be good!

You read my mind! Exactly what I did. Let's see how this works now. The package! That's the stuff! S4 in Blaze Orange, the flex cable and some other bits. Case choices! SK8 or the GAEMS! Not my best foam cut, but, Artemis has a house! The cut on right is for the power brick. I...

Doh! Ok. Lemme figure that out. Methinks I need a new photo host.

EDITING: Figuring out photo issue.

LOL. Its my best, and favorite, geekery story. Action, adventure, horror, drama, comedy. We had it all! I went dumpster diving to try and find a damn keyboard at the local recycler that night! Who the hell has a ps2? Well, now I do! I bought 2, to keep here, JUST IN CASE. LMAO! Titan is in my...

Oh, I forgot one piece. Plantronics RIG500 Headphones. Gotta have sound!
