Very very nice! Everything looks great so far, it's starting to really come together. Maybe I missed something, but did you get those pieces polished professionally somewhere? And if you did it/if you know, how where they polished? That's truly an amazing finish.

EDIT: That was the fastest reply in history, I think. I replied like 2 seconds after he posted... literally.

THAT was the fastest reply ever. haha.

I did get them polished professionally. waited 3 weeks for them to be done. They were first cleaned and buffed, then run through a glass blaster to get the sheen started. The high polish was good old fashioned elbow grease (with a power buffer) and a metal polishing compound. A little patience and the aluminum polishes up to a mirror finish.

I was so excited when I finally saw the results, I was skeptical at first.

Wow man.

Wait, that just doesn't cut it...

WWWWOOOOOOWWWW is probably closer to the bone. Those parts are like mirrors. Hurry up and finish this, i can't wait to see how it turns out. Sorry about the leaks in the watercooling, but hey, it could have been much worse. Can you get a photo of the radiator at the back when it's hooked up?

Words actually fail me here. That finish is so nice, words just ain't enough. 2 thumbs up and as many gold stars as you can handle.

Thanks Dave. I spent the night tonight testing electrical components. I'm having trouble getting all 3 fans to run at full speed. I think mire 22g wires can't push through enough juice cause when I unplug one, the other 2 work fine. My lights aren't working right either. Live and learn I spose. Ill post more pics when I get the new pump motor on wed. I should have the electrical issues worked out this week as well. Should be finished by Friday (I hope)

on another note. I got the thing fired up today with the stock heat sink on and got xp installed. No issues at all. Loaded Call of Duty 2 on it just for fun and it looks better than ever. Ill run some benchmarks once im done. I don't want to overclock too heavily until the watercooling system is up and running.

this thing is going to be BA!

nice, i think you need to get a movie clip up though, cause the shinyness makes me confussed and looks kinda cluttered. This is gonna be a sharp mod tho.
