Finally got the bits together to get this done.
I initially built it with an Alphacool D5 pump/res (last pic) but wanted something a bit different.

I came across a Bitspower CR803 combo that ticked all the boxes. Fits nicely along the floor of the case. Given the clearance below the GPU the trick was to find a mounting solution that didn't involve VHB tape or drilling through the case itself. The result is some 2mm thick neodymium washer style magnets with some rubber covers. A row of 6 of these are screwed in to the res and hold it in place nicely.

Another good find are the tube brackets from Radikult that hold a nice 90 in soft tubing.

I'm just wondering now if I want to light the res up. The official light kit is about £100 from Bitspower so no way I'm using that. It would also be too thick under the res itself.

Finished* a rebuild of my NAS system.

After looking and looking for a half decent tower that I could build out to a reasonably quiet I was going to get a Define 7 XL until I remembered my father had an Enthoo Pro 2 and what the chassis could do. 3 case swaps later and my NAS has a new home again.

Out of the box the Enthoo 2 (and the 719) it needs a bit of work to reach peak stupidity overkill. The Server Edition can not match this chassis.

With a few snips here and there you can get 26 drives in to one of these.

My actually array is 14 drives with 2 parity. Currently testing out a spare 10 drives I picked up for other uses.

^(*One day I will stop, honest.)

Was expecting the Anniversary TB3 and 4 today but they seem to have gone for a mystery tour courtesy of RM.

Happily though the Winch Eagle arrived. 5 down and 1 to go. Hopefully we'll get a Hawk too.
Bonus Harrop Eagle was a random find on eBay and luckily went for a not entirely silly price.

^(Now I need to get that damned ABBA song out of my head - you're welcome.)

Picked these up and thought I'd put them up as I do.
Created for the movie by Ford.
The smaller booklet contains an image index and CD with 56 images and a document about Ford's work on the movie.

The larger booklet is covered with a soft alligator skin effect (possibly to evoke a ladies clutch purse?) and contains pictures and some details.

Nothing world changing but some good concept art and behind the scenes info is included.

Uploaded the contents of the disc here:

Not too worried about keeping these as the movie isn't of great interest to me. If anyone wants to make an offer for them send me a message.

^(I still need to get round to the other bits I have. I've been a bit lazy and sorting some other bits out that've put them on a back burner.)

I've spent much of today scanning in the concept art and script set I got recently (see other thread).

In total there were 26 concept art images (27 but the TB3 render was duplicated) and a 116 page script.

The artwork is scanned at 2400dpi and 600dpi, and also compiled in a single PDF. The images are named in the order they are in. I've tried to minimise any fiddling with the images in order to preserve them as they are printed. The art set is a mixed bag having been printed on an assortment of paper and different printers. Scanned on an Epson Perfection V39II.

The script is bound with card covers and split pins through the pages. Scanned on a Canon ImageFORMULA P-215 at 300dpi.

The VHS is still to do. This may be a while off yet as I want to investigate a bit more before submitting it to potential doom.

I believe I have covered everything. I will add shots of the packaging once I can sort out a nice clean background and dig out a tripod/decent camera.

If there are any specific requests please let me know and I will try to help out. I want to preserve and share this set as best I can.

Also on Google Drive for faster download

EDIT 22/12/25
Updated scan of the script due to errors in original. On both Archive and Google Drive.
