    I've been so busy I lost track of the builds and I'm catching up now.

    Default 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.

    Default 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

    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!

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