The computer at home is nearly finished. The waterblock has been mounted over a little scrap of plastic. The backplate has been placed, but I can't put the nuts on the posts, I think because Foxconn put their own backplate over the socket. I don't think it poses a problem.

I threaded in the spacers as tightly as I can, and I see no reason for them to be spinning themselves back out.

Watercool should be ashamed of themselves for that backplate. The insulation cutting was poor, and the material of the plate is pathetic, I can bend it in my fingers, but it's supposed to take a couple hundred pounds of pressure.

The tubing has been soft-fixed, it fits right on, it's thinner and softer than Masterkleer, so I didn't have to heat it first. I haven't put on the zip ties to hold the visible points.

I think the tubing routing is final though. I'll lay the case over and pull the reservoir up to fill the system, otherwise it'd be a colossal pain in the ass. I don't even know if this reservoir system is going to work. It should.

So I'm pretty sure the next stage of the computer's construction is to lay it down and start filling it up (with distilled).

My parents aren't going to NH until later tonight, after dinner, instead of leaving in 30 minutes. Traffic is a mess.
