I may as well write up a macro script of some kind that just automatically inserts "wow", "damn", or "you're a lunatic" after each of your posts that include the word "update".

Geez. Awesome as always my man. Awesome as always.

Wow, awesome work on those buttons. This is really one for the scrapbook. Once it's done you should submit it to MDPCs...unless they come asking you first..

Thanks blue! Glad to see you're still following in the summer slowdown.

Thanks for the compliment x88x but I'm expecting the folks at MDPC to be more puzzled by this mod than anything else.

Welcome back b4i7, progress continues in my own special meandering way.

Thanks raistnox, it is a fervent hope that nothing in my ill spent youth makes me sterile too.

I must admit, the collective brain power of the folks replying has impressed me. The best idea so far was key caps for a steampunk keyboard.

Thanks SXR! On the screws, they're my favorite kind of modding. Just start trying different things and see what comes out.

Coming back to the this mod, I'm chipping away at the wiring but not very much interesting to show for my efforts. I will show you this though. The external tubing, that's routed on the exterior was originally planned to be acid green.

And I was planning to use this copper wire sleeving but the Bitspower fittings are 3/8-5/8 so this sleeving is too small.

So the search for replacement sleeving has been underway. This stuff is decent but is fairly light weight and doesn't offer any tubing protection.

This stuff is braided copper sleeving, its heavy weight and offers significant protection. Tubing really can't collapse with this on it. Its made for phase change overclockers to keep their tubing from rupturing.

So which do you think looks better? The lightweight stuff or

The heavyweight sleeving?

Sketchup really doesn't picture it well but you get the idea where it's going.

And while I'm asking, this is the back of subject Delta from Bioshock 2. He's the main protagonist in the game. On the back of his suit are 2 reservoirs of fluid with red and blue colored liquid which set me to thinking.

What about blue and red instead of green?

Lightweight Blue

Heavyweight Blue

Lightweight Red

Heavyweight Red

Let me know what you think. I'm leaning towards the heavyweight (more functional) but could go either way on the colors. I plan to spend Saturday modding so I'll have some more for you soon. Especially if my kiln arrives .

Many thanks to my sponsors!

I vote heavyweight. looks awesome!

[x88x]

Ooooh, definitely the heavyweight!

I think the blue/red could work really well.
