:D

Thanks man. Means a lot to me coming from you.

Supplies, Rivets and Sleeving
 

Sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks. Its not that I have been busy its just I haven't done much work. I am still waiting on the rest of the plexi to arrive. Been 2 weeks and I'm still waiting. Anyways... here is what I have done.

I got my Orange tubing in.


I also ordered a Rivet Nut Setter. Basically its a bigger pop rivet gun.


So with that I got the threaded rivets and drilled my old holes.


Used the tool, which I actually had to read the directions for, and voila! A steel threaded hole. These will hold up much better than the aluminum.


2 more 2TB Green HDDs


A 120mm fan for the mobo side of the case.



Sleeving... I ordered the FlexO from FrozenCPU because it was "cheaper". The quality wasn't great but I could afford it. I decided to do a sleeving comparison for my fellow modders and when I ordered the other brands I got my hands on some MDPC-X sleeving. No wonder everyone uses it. The color is amazing and its only $0.22 PER FOOT!! That's 1/3 the price of the FlexO. The only problem is that it takes 2 weeks to get :( Germany to USA. USA to me. I wish Nils would ship to APO/DPO but he doesn't so I have to deal with that.

Here is a comparison between the FlexO and MDPC-X


You can see on the HDD I bought some Orange vinyl film. Its pretty transparent so I have to put 2 layers down to get the color I want.


Since I had some of the MDPC-X I started sleeving the ATX power. I might add a few more black wires to the mix.






And that's it. I just put in an order to get the rest of the sleeving that I need form MDPC-X and I'll use up what I have left here.

Cheers till next time.

Man I love that color!


.

Not a real update
 

Still waiting on my plexi :( If it doesn't arrive Friday then I'm going to call.

Random shots of my sleeving.


I'm not 100% happy with the connector so I might redo it.


I decided to buy some Primo Chill Ice UV Orange coolant and see how it looked.









Its actually not very UV reactive but it looks great without it. I ran it for 2 days like this and it was fine. I let it sit for a day and there was the problem. My res had an orange residue on it. So I deff won't be using this. Hopefully a certain someone will finish making their orange coolant for me :D

Random cool looking pics I thought.






Its was a holiday weekend in Germany so my MDPC-X sleeving didn't leave Germany until today so I should have it in about 2 weeks. Hopefully I can get this done by November but starting Tuesday for 2 weeks there will be no modding :( My wife and daughter come back and my sister is visiting for 2 weeks so I have to spend time with her.

Cheers till next time!

Is it just me, or are a couple of your pix corrupted?

Re: Project: Honeycomb

FIREFOX!

Where's your "reload image" button????

Re: Project: Honeycomb
 

i don't think your fan will work well with the cable going through the blades like that.

Re: Project: Honeycomb
 

They're working now; I don't know what happened.
