Next bug fix release has been made available for testing. Passed on information by Tamira for improved feature support.

A new version has been built and made available for download via OP with fixes for issues as requested by RonRay and others to review pre-requisities. Additionally new utilities have been included such as the requested ability to prep a nif for Skyrim, i.e F03 -> Sky until the Blender Nif Scripts have been updated.

The only other problem was when I was installing the graphics card. I was using the discrete card to get the OS installed, then popped it in the GPU. It wouldn't boot up, scratched my head, removed it, played around with some things, then just worked. Yeah Don, I was much the same. My old dev PC was about 8~ years old since it was built so a little rusty.

Well started into the build on Tuesday as that is when the finally delivery arrived containing the Mobo, SSD & Ram. Bit of a fiasco where the "delivery company" apparently lost it, but on the day the "online store" were going re-send the order, it was miraculous arrived back to their warehouse. I suspect that it was lost internally in their warehouse. Still all went well, though my room turned into a packaging maze. Took a while to get everything sorted as my case top was difficult to remove to install cool and sifting through which connectors which I would use. I could have built in a day but thoroughly took my time to enjoy the process. Need to finalise the cable management withcable ties on the back of the case as they were just loose tied while things got moved around. Ran a smoke test while I was away over the weekend as suggested by Ron . The room being still intact and nothing melting down is a good sign. Going to put it through its paces this evening. Only have a barebones install, but will be starting into the tedious bit of re-installing more software that I need. Any specific reason you are going for that card, rather than a crossfire setup. Most of those High End Profile cards for its performance/price ratio is only for those who are doing some serious computation power.

Now to play the waiting game. Need to sort out what periphals I want, keyboard, mouse, too.

Yeah think I will stick with the Asus so then. I have gone for a different PSU which is less expensive, but I did some math and based on future expansion without OC the wattage is about 620w~ so not alot of headroom if I go with an 800w and this would not even include additional harddrives or cards. I might add a cheaper dedicated physics card or investigate video & audio capture cards.

What was the specific problem you had sho with the Gigabyte, I had heard they were very good from other users. As for PSU, I am still unsure, as I will probably just go with dual SLI and will expand to multi disk storage which will be RAID'd but I can't see me pushing through 800w even with overclocking. Indecision is a terrible thing.

So one of the main drawbacks where I am working at the moment is not having a dedicated dev pc. I can't lug my dev pc with me during the week. So now that I have moar timeTM I can start into building a new pc as the actual dev pc in quiestion is 7/8years only. Here is the link to the skeleton of the build - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/BCZr I am planning with future proofing in mind so that should be apparent from some of the choices in the build. Adding additional parts will be added down the line, doubling ram, additional card for SLI, additional storage, etc. The usual. The main things that I am debating is PSU, dropping it to 750~800w. Mobo is probably the other. Currently floating between the Gigabyte and Asus as both are in the same price. Feedback welcome.

Its usually just for convience. Most windows installers will default install on a C:\ partition for programs so this gives you an area of general space for the usual cruft to accumulate over time.

Oh, I get to to play with a ginger kitty. We can tie a bell around its neck, dangle string in faic, make tinfoil balls and LAZERZ! Hiho kitty away!

You just need to look in the right place, or have a minion do it for you.

PK? Do you mean Peachykeen, didn't realise he was here. I can see where the confusion may arise, family resemblance, same line of killer robots.

Poster child..... er that is more than questionable as advertising for NifSkope, might pass on the offer. Though your avatar has reminded me that this is the internets; where ever man is a boy, every girl is a man, every under-aged person is the FBI.

I am not sure if you are going more for aesthetics or navigation menu only. The main flavour of the moment is http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/ . The nice things is, apart from being open source, it that it is very customisable. Its mainly design framework, consisting of css-side components over jscript. There is an install generator that allows you to customise the build to your needs if you find you only want to use a select few components, which is good, not that the package is that large either. I have used bootstrap to prototype a good few websites, mainly due to its simple usage. The main advantages are clean, minialist design, with great functionality out of the box. A sister website - http://builtwithbootstrap.com/ showcases the variety that can be achieved. You can always theme it later.

Heyo Hanaisse, Thanks for the helping out with that partitions problem as it was causing problems across a number of the tools and the root cause was hard to track down. I can see that you have put the info to good use with the tutorials. Once I find that free time thing I hear so often about it would be great to have a chat about some of that stuff.
