I ordered a bunch of hardware this week from different suppliers this week, and today have the pleasure of chasing up some of them to find out where its got to. If there are any suppliers reading this post - I don't mind holding for a few minutes when you're busy, but I do object to paying 50p for...

Purchased an AeroCool CoolPanel - has USB, Firewire, Card Reader and the usual fan controllers on it. Pretty comprehensive device, but the only drawback is that the connections are via "normal" sockets that have to be run through your case from the back. (Which is OK as my case has a number...
