I guess $15-$17? I think it costed me about $16.95 (or maybe it was $15.95) + shipping (~$13 even for just 2 switches). I haven't even recieved it yet but it should be here very soon.

I received some gear today, including an XSPC dual DDC bay res

Looks real nice

except to my horror it is damaged and cracked in the front corner

I got it from overseas so shipping costs to send it back is going to be a bummer

It should be here tomorrow. I took the front panel off and unfortunately the actual res is damaged albeit only not very badly. Still I paid for a brand new res and that's what i should get. Also theres a risk the damage will cause cracks that will get larger and larger once the pumps are attached. So its going back.

I'm really disappointed about it... my other order (which I'll need to finish the build) from them got sent via surface mail (I paid for air) which takes 12 weeks! tht's right 3 long months! I was so looking forward to playing with the res plus it was one of the last pieces needed for a test fit and continue progress.

murphys law my friend. some bad luck there it sucks balls when shit like this happens, especially from overseas

I'd been looking for some mesh but I'm too cheap to pay nearly $30 for 1/2mtr of modder's mesh. I was directed to Auto stores but mine did not stock any.

But whilst shopping with the Mrs I saw something that caught my eye... the best **read Cheap Bast@#d's** alternative to modder's mesh!

A rubbish bin made out of mesh! and its already painted black too! All for the princely sum of $9.95!! (actually I paid $4.95 cos mine was the last one and had some dents)

No problems at all. You do know though, that its a momentary (push to make push to break) switch? if you are planing to use it to switch off lights etc you need an On/Off switch

brayway · 3rd November 2009, 8:05 PM

yea i know that

it would be for my power switch

Sorry, for some reason, I was thinking you were going to use it for controlling lights or fans when you mentioned 'toggle'

brayway · 3rd November 2009, 10:17 PM

that's ok but yea i use a momentary toggle switch for my current power switch

but it is a little annoying having that sticking out of the fron of my case so am looking for something to replace it

Thanks to Cyberbeat (I still need to find a way to thank him) who so generously volunteered to help me do a proper render of the logo. I think it looks great.
