yeah, the heat transfer through the tubes is pretty minimal compared with heat transfer at the rad. i wouldn't worry too much about that.
i had actually thought earlier "wow, that'd be neat with vacuum hoses" but decided not to say anything about it for some reason.
go fig. lookin good tho :P
The dye didn't turn out. Maybe wrong kind of dye. Looks the same to me.
Already changed my mind on red coils anyway.
Did some sleeving with my special sleeves.
Was a little worried about the VC plug. Took out the PSU and made sure.
Tight fit, but it works. I'll pull the wire back behind the pump.
And notice the SATA wire. 6" and clear. Will also hide behind the pump as much as I can.
I ran the other wires behind the rad, and you can hardly see them.
That takes care of the reset/power/power LED/HDD/USB/mic-headphones/
wires.
New leather was added.
Now to drill a hole for the pump, and holes for the 120mm fan again.
Looks like everything will fit now.
The tubing was washed, and should be dry enough to re-install today.
;)
I think I'll try the rubber spray and see how it looks. So far, I like the chrome paint the best. Hope it doesn't chip off when I put it on.Quote:

Yeah, that's some awesome stuff. I can't remember the site I got it from. But I
bought the last 3 bags of it. They said it was discontinued. I actually tried
looking for the site once (one I only went to that single time - found through
Google) but my list of sites is kind of big, and I tired of looking for it. I'll just
keep trying my bookmarks until I find it again. They had some other unique stuff you don't see on most sites.
:)
WOW.. just have to sign up to say.. wow! :banana: :bunny: :banana:
(50+ pages so far, spend about 1hour reading them all) :)
MDCS, is there anything you can't do?
Build a great work area and do an awsome casemod, can't wait to see the finished job.
I wiss I had your skills.
Too bad about all your bad luck (falling table, camera.....), but that's not stopping you. Great!:up:
Are you planning on modding mouse, keyboard and/or monitor to follow up on this great box?
btw. I really like that fan too :)
(And the scoop, and the leatherwork, and the paintjob and....)
Results of the chrome paint test ...
I think that is the best chrome paint I have ever seen.
It really looks better then the others I've tried.
Still not sure if I'll use it though.:rolleyes:
Now for the rubber test ...
Still a little wet.
I don't know:?
Sure is different!
What do you guys think:down: :up:
:)
I don't like the coils at all. That might just be me. But they do look better chromed.
As for the rubber paint stuff? Hmmm, I say it looks pretty unique and in a good way. Reminds me of when I look in a car and see all those rubber tubes going everywhere.
My final verdict: :up:
Makes it look more like the engine area of a car, which is a good thing imo. And of course, even if you just leave them as is, they will still look good.
-SF
the rubber is awesome looking. got all my votes on that :p
the coils look better, but i agree ... they don't seem to fit so well with the theme.
man. that rubber looks great. seriously :)
