This has been a long time in the making. Last year when we met the Tampa and Orlando guys I was inspired to begin my pack build. I spent the next 4 months tracking down each individual component and made a list. Once I got my Bonus and Tax return, I started placing orders.
After 9 Months of research, ordering, and waiting, I am now at a point where I can get started. The last main component I am missing is the thrower, I ordered one from CPU64 about 3 months ago so it should be close to being finished.
I would also like to say thank you to ALL of the seller's listed below, you have been awesome to deal with and I appreciate the time spent answering all of my questions. You will be the ones I point to when someone wants to build a pack. A big thank you goes to AJ for providing a easy place to get some of the specialty parts, but my bank account hates you.
I am debating on placing up my excel tracking sheet which has listed all of the parts, sellers, prices, and shipping costs to give someone new an idea of what it costs to build one from the ground up. Had I have known how much I was truly going to spend sourcing everything, I might have just bought a "starter" pack for half the cost and gone from there.
Let's just say I am now north of $2000, not including CPU64's thrower, paint, primer, filler, etc...
