Rubicon. The quality of the writing and general presentation of the story is a breath of fresh air.

Dear god... That is more than 2k in material here and more than double that in machining. Actually I think even that is grossly underestimated.

Took a 2.5hr round trip to the airport to pick up an express posted package... Both ups and partsconnexion managed to fuck up again

I love /b/-case.org =D

I now have everything except 6 resistor values for the psu and the 4 caps that Inu mailed me. Well that and the chassis which I'll get on Tues/Wed. Almost time to start building my Soviet toaster

Well you could use the "spare" t2 case...

Dear lord. So, so, so good =D Congrats! I like that you didn't have a single exploding part.

Fucking hell that's ridiculous Last time I had something sent using their 2-day express (or something like that) the morons at the brokerage Australia side read my label and instead of affixing the updated internal one they glued on something that sent to the other side of the city...

Yes the only place more expensive than Australia for everything seems to be Iceland. Artificially offset scales would not surprise me given how dodgy fedex is over here.

Your a legend for standing in line for so long with that much stuff. ... I hope you had a trolley of some description =S

Gilmore audio? It does look over the top hehe.

Surely in the welcome pm it says not to use joint cards for purchases

Thanks Struts! I had already flicked Inu a pm and he is sorting me on them. Dear god that's a lot of caps for one man... I'd need to be in on all 63 runs of the t2 to make use of them hehe O.o

Excellent =) A mailing I'ago~

This is a bit of a long shot but does anyone have 4 extra of the 5pF/1kV C0G ceramic caps that they could send down to AU?

Actually I just found another use for them so correcting my previous: I'm in for 32

Fuck me that's a lot of feet I guess you can retrofit all your KG** stuff with them.

I'm in for 16 as well. T2 can only look more swish with em.

Wow you moved quick on that. I hope the high powered refreshment did it's job =)

Just like all UPS fuck ups, you'll write them off only to have it all turn up 2 months later with out so much as a sorry note. Rage ensues

Cool I'll make sure to grab some nylon standoffs and screws, thanks =)

If they are the original board files then they are likely the same ones I just bought off Kevin. I'll have to remember to get some nylon standoffs.

Yay! Almost money time... for this and the o2's to plug into it hehe. Got everything I need for my tax return about 3 hours ago too. The timing is impeccable

Bdent are great. Tony goes out of his way to help you get stuff. Has a bunch of suppliers in Japan he use to source stuff upon request which is cool.

PRO TIP: don't do what I did once and forget that you disconnected the test load so that it takes 20min+ to bleed the psu caps back to something "safe"
