The remainder of my parts arrived today. I did a leak test and cleaned the inside of the radiators by flushing them with water. It worked great.

I was intending to start building it today but I'm in a lot of pain and it's already almost 4:00pm (The delivery came quite late) so I'm gonna do it later in the week instead. But I'm happy everything is finally here. I think maybe tomorrow I'll stick the waterblocks on my graphics cards. I'll post pictures before and after that of course

Started putting it together today

Leak Testing:

What is the red liquid? Blood tears of Indonesian kids?

It is EK's Blood Red coolant. Just water with additives to stop bacteria growth and a red dye added for colour. It's quite a good liquid I've used it on this build and two other past builds.

Cant actually see the light when the door is on but I'm having some difficulty getting the light where I want it because the 3M double sided tape is not adhering to the light strips backing as it should. I may need to rough it up with some sandpaper.

If Jarvis had a body, it probably looked like this.

In our house we don't have central heating at the moment due to a gas issue. It's being fixed later today. So poppy our eldest is in my office playing on the floor as it's the only warm room in the house right now.

And she cannot resist touching daddies beautiful computer:



I said to her, did you touch daddies computer? she replied, no daddy. I think the fingerprints all over the window tell a different story!

Lol and here I had heard that babies started learning to lie at the tender age of 4. She's ahead of her time.

One of the things I use this computer for is OS X. And now that the Late 2013 Mac Pro has been released there is much better support for LGA2011 based systems like my own under OS X (As Mac Pro is the first Mac to use LGA2011).

So now I can have my own Mac Pro!



Everything works. Graphics, Sound, Networking, USB3.0, SATAIII. All software features work including iMessage and I've even been able to get speedstep and sleep working by using kexts from the official Mac Pro.

I'm quite happy!
