Yea. The DICE place closes at 4pm CST, so its not happening today. It's lame that it closes so early. I figured out what i am gonna get from McMaster though. 1 M4 1m long threaded rod, and a pack of nylon insert M4 locknuts. I figure i can just cut the long rod into 4 separate pieces, and i know they will all be more than long enough. The locknuts will be used as the bottom end of the rods, under the backplate.



yep, i know just what you mean.
the cheap ice place closes at 2:pm here and the more expensive one closes at 7pm pst.


make sure you super glue the bottom lock nuts so it doesn't start turning later on.

@Jon: Yea, i probably could get DICE somewhere else, but i guarantee it is more espensive. At this place, it is $1/lb (tax included) for rice pellets, or around $.50/lb for the scrap stuff cut off of blocks. I figure if the scraps are too big, i can smash them with a hammer or something. So 25lbs (what i plan to get) would only be like $12-15.

Sounds like someone is addicted  ;) 
I know the feeling.

4.9GHz vantage run is no joke.  Imagine if you had dual 295's?  You might have broke the 47K boundary.  I am STILL trying to break that 47K vantage... and when I do... I am throwing a party!

oh yeah, would have definitely broke 47k...i ran dice and gained 3k on gpu, so it's pretty safe to say...i would have.

remember i already had a 43.2k gpu and a 65k cpu...but din't have enough time to complete a run..
card sold the next day.


and yes...very addictive.!
