Like a little boy I'm waiting

But I'm not waiting for christmas. I'm waiting for my motherfucking computer parts!!

I called the retailer today to "celebrate" the start of the third month since I ordered the parts for El Jefe. They still cannot take the card from the shop inventory and give it to me. That's because there's still some poor soul who has waited longer than I have. Well, good luck to him/her too! I'm starting to think if the wait really is worth the 80€ the card price has gone up since I placed the order.

They offered me to have a card from another manufacturer, but a stubborn ass like me can't be pleased with that. I want what I ordered and I want it in my lifetime.

After a lengthy discussion about my options I decided to wait a little bit more. Their supplier is getting some cards on 11th and the retailer gets theirs probably on 12th. So there's light at the end of the tunnel (I hope it's not a train). My computer should arrive on 15th or 16th. That's two long weeks...

Then some thoughts about the frame.
I may have time to work with the frame on sunday or the next weekend. I decided to drille the holes after it's been sandblasted and painted. The color i'm still keeping as a secret.

To do list:
- radiator and fan mounts
- measure and cut cover panels
- exhaust grills
- handle mounts
- sandblast the frame
- paint the frame
- drill holes and tap them
- mount covers, handles, wheels etc.

These I can do only after the parts arrive:
- test water cooling setup
- mount water tank (may need a holder to be made)
- install windows
- install lights and other electronics

That's about it. I'll put an air cooled setup in an old case the day the parts arrive and test if the parts work. Installing and building the final version is scheduled after christmas and "It" should come alive just before new year.
