Beautiful work. +rep I love the copper/brass theme; can't wait to see the case
Bad luck about the ATX connector, but other than that mishap, very impressive.

This kind of work takes big brass balls. Good damn stuff.
Thanks guys, funny you guys should mention the brass....
So what did the berserkers do to themselves? Some references point to the Cult of Odin and cite references to magic rites, mind altering rituals, and even shape shifting. A particularly intriguing story describes how Christianity and the power of the crucifix overcame a berserker who among other things was immune to damage and fire.
---Baresark was looked for to come thither, whose name was Otrygg, and all were afraid of him...that he feared neither fire nor sword, and the heathen men were sore afraid at his coming...Thangbrand smote the arm of the Baresark with his crucifix, and so mighty a token followed that the sword fell from the Baresark's hand. - The Story of Burnt Njal, Chapter 99
Back to the mod, I've got some etching "magic" to drop on you guys but that'll have to wait until later. If you'll allow me a little more story, I promise you'll like where this is going.
Ahem, if its not already obvious, I like brass and copper and in many ways, its central to this mod's theme. So I was a little disappointed when the copper fittings didn't work. I could have used chrome fittings but was looking for the lowest profile available. Gary at Sidewinder.com swooped in to help suss out what might work.
(If you haven't checked out Sidewinder before, go now! Gary's one of the most knowledgeable guys in the LC arena. More importantly, he's an extremely good guy and helpful to boot.)
A few emails later, I was talking with the Bitspower head magician, Vincent.
Flash forward a couple of weeks later, you could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw these. Brass magic...
And this adjustable 90, the pictures don't do this justice. The fit is incredible.
Q fitting
45 degree fitting
Fixed 90 degree fitting
Threaded stops
Threaded extenders
boom chicka wow-wow
Ah yes that'll work just fine…..
With 45s
And if that's not enough awesome sauce, I now have a sponsor.
Thanks Bitspower and a big thumbs up to Vincent! As you might imagine, I'm one happy modder right now.
Stay tuned...
Mmmm, now that is pretty. There's just something about bare brass; it just feels...idk, happier, somehow.
Holy CRAP.
That is nothing short of awesome, my friend.
And congratulations on the sponsorship!
wow those are sweet! and yes congrats!
