    oh..too late! :mrgreen: i'm back home! just spent the whole night fixing up my new rig. they gave me wrong RAMS! :doh: my hands are pretty tired and i've hardly slept all day... :shock:

    after getting my rig up and installing OS, i went to my kitchen and placed my father's day gift on the kitchen table. (to surprise daddy in the morning)

    so this was my saturday event :-

    1. early flight (6.10am) to KL from Kuching.
    2. took bus from KLIA to Chan Sow Ling.
    3. walked to Low Yat and checked my rig.
    4. packed it up nicely for hand carry.
    5. had lunch and visited Imbi, Sungai Wang and TimeSquare.
    6. went back to Low Yat and picked up my rig.
    7. took bus to KLIA.
    8. waited till 6.10pm flight back to Kuching. (missed 3pm flight)

    now my hands are pretty sore (cos of carrying this 14kg thing around) and i'm lacking in sleep.

    Their 12cm fans arent that quiet. Using a low speed and high speed ones, and the high speed one is around 40dB i would say!
