Hello,
Something really stupid and annoying happened, which I share with you so you
learn from it as well and don't fall into the same trap with antec 1200
mounting system:
So a few days or weeks ago I started mounting my new harddisks... and I also
started fixing my DreamPC which died.
At the start I saw this screw bag with very long screws in it... and I
thought "nope can't use those, so I forgot about it".
I was thinking "I need those typically small little screws for the HD's".
But then I discovered the Antec 1200 actually needs those long screws.
But I totally did not "link" the "big deep holes" with "the screw bag".
So I was totally under the impression that I didn't have any extra screws...
So I instead I descrewed 2 of 4 screws of each harddisk and uses 2 of those
for the new harddisk.
End result is now that 4 harddisks are each attached with just 2 screws
which I wonder if that's safe/better or not safe/worse.
So I've been spending a lot of time fixing my pc, documenting things,
sticky-taping some cables and ONLY AT THE VERY END do I RE-DISCOVER THE BAG
! LOL...
And then SUDDENLY I REALIZE THOSE ARE THE GODDAMN FOKKING SCREWS ! THAT I
COULD HAVE USED ! OH MY GOD... I WAS SO FOKKING TIRED I WAS LIKE FOK... I'LL
DO THAT TOMORROW...
I think it's safer to put 4 screws into each harddisk and the bag has PLENTY
of screws for that it seems...I am not 100% sure it are the correct screws
but what else could it be ?!
So I am 99.9% sure those screws belong to
the antec case.
However there is no label on the goddamn bag ! So I put my OWN LABEL on it !
So lesson learned for ANTEC and ADVICE TO ANTEC:
*** !!! LABEL THE GODDAMN BAG IF YOU USE SPECIAL SCREWS !!! ***
I now labelled it as follows:
"ANTEC 1200 HD SCREW BAG !"
So that in the future I immediatly know what those screws are for since they
are pretty weird ! =D
So tomorrow I am going to detach my fricking computer one more time...
Hopefully I don't break anything at the very last moment... and fokking
screw in the missing screws so that hopefully my PC can last another few
years ! =D Or maybe even forever !
So one more day of fokking with it is probably ok for long term !
But gjezus fokking christ does this cost energy !
I even told my mother about the missing screws and she gave me her screw bag
which didn't really have those screws but it was nice of her anyway ! LOL.
I am gonna tell her this story ! (later on...) and she will probably also
go:
"gjezus fokking christ ! LOL".
FOK such a stupid story ! It's so fokking annoying ! LOL.
Yes go ahead... laugh your ass off ! =D Be nasty !
It's not like you GOD or anything and you don't ever make mistakes or don't
understand something GJEZUS FOKKING CHRIST ! =D
Well I guess I should be glad I finally found the fokking screw bag and
ACTUALLY REALIZED what's it for ! GJEZUS ! =D
I do hope ANTEC TAKES BIG NOTES and fricking labels the (screw) bags next
time ! =D
(I also had another general screw bag in my motherboard box where I keep all
kinds of screws)
(The antec bag also had some general screws but also the special long
screws)
(Anyway way to go antec for delivering screws with the case thank god for
that ! Since these screws probably hard to find (never tried though,
thank god for that... otherwise I would have wasted even more energy and
time LOL, almost sad really ! LOL <- yes let's laugh to make it less
bad/stupid/sad ! LOL !)
(Pfewwwieee... anyway, my website about this new build gonna be great I hope
with lot's of usefull information and tips... there are plenty... perhaps
more tips for me... but also so tips for you guys... or especially those
that have same camera or same case or same stock cooler... It gonna take
some time to make it... first I must work more on my DreamPC and set things
up like HD screws and much more software ! So still gonna take a few days at
least !)
(Yup that's the price for installing a new windows os... lot's of stuff to
do !)
KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE ! THE SITE AND THE INFO WILL COME SOON ! I HOPE LOL !
BUT I MAKE NO PROMISES BUT I WILL TRY !
(I NEED FRONTPAGE FOR WINDOWS 7 otherwise it gonna be even more difficult to
switch to XP but I will try that too !)
Bye,
Skybuck.
OK REALLY BYE NOW ! =D
