So I'm finally settled in Sydney and ready to start uploading again!
Here is my new PC that I built a few days ago, I'm seriously head over heels in love with it. The specs for anyone interested are:
NZXT Noctis 450
Intel Core i7-7700 3.6GHz Quad-Core Processor
CRYORIG H7
Asus STRIX H270F
Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB DDR4-3000 Memory
Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
2 x Western Digital Blue 2TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive
Asus GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card
Corsair RMx 650W
Microsoft Windows 10 Home
5 x be quiet! SilentWings 3 40mm Fan
Corsair STRAFE RGB Wired Gaming Keyboard
Logitech Z333 40W 2.1ch Speakers
NZXT Hue+ RGB Lighting Kit
NZXT Griv+ V2
I haven't installed the NZXT Hue+ yet as I don't have enough internal USB 2.0 ports and need to get an adapter first. I haven't really done anything labor intensive yet but the few tasks I have done, it has handled it so much faster and easier than my old PC.
Once I get some days off from work I will edit and upload some of my shots from around Sydney.

After a few days to recover from what ended up being the single craziest month of my life (Not just Iron Forge, life threw some curveballs my way), I look back at my January of building!
First of all, SO much building this month. There's more finished models here than on my 2024 recap, and there's things I built that weren't even for the Forge too. 😅
I'm very happy with the performance I put down this year, and there's some models in there I am especially proud of. Still a bit longer to wait to see who wins, but truth be told, I'll be quite happy regardless of the outcome.
I also took this as an opportunity to compare my entries to last year's entries, and I think the difference is quite stark! Really pleased with how far I've come in the last year.
5 speed conversion using Simplex gold ano rear derailleur, Campy Record hubs, original cranks (big ring's teeth removed to act as chain guard) seatpost, headset and BB. Nitto cromo bar, Brooks maroon B-17, Bleumel 'Sprint Veloce' fenders
This is a 55cm Handsome Devil that we built up for out catalogue shoot, and it is looking for a new owner. Never ridden, a ton of purple parts on it. Set up fixie with a front brake. Send us a message if you want more details. Price is a hell of a deal at $999
My sixth entry for the final round of the Iron Forge 2025! Sir Pricklesworth is a bit of a sillier entry but the competition is fierce, so I'm not going down without a fight!
9 seed parts used.

We built up this custom Long Haul Trucker for Paul in Perth. He needed a setup for doing a 'lap' around Austrlalia. This is a bombproof setup for touring. Features Schmidt SON 28 Dynamo, Supernova E3 front light, Supernova rear light, Brooks Saddle, Tubus rear rack, Surly Nice Front Rack, Pletscher Double Kickstand, Stem Captain (thermometer), Busch and Muller E-Werk - for charging an iPhone, BOB Ibex trailer, Ortlieb Sportpacker plus panniers, DT Swiss Alpine III spokes, Mavic XM519 rims , Marathon Dureme Tires. We also brazed on the mount for the front Supernova light, this is a more sturdy position and better location for touring setups. We also affixed a rear mudguard to the front wheel to for more protection from spray in wet weather
