Something is loose int he tube which is why it is not lighting up.

Wow thanks! I'm trying to get into CPU magazine and some MOTM competitions.

Thanks! Ya idk if/how I'm going to use them.

...even better if old temp gages could be found and used (and functional).

I wish I could use them but I don't have the fittings.

Few things, IF i may Although i like the look of the gauges i personally don't feel they fit this particular build. I hope the blue/white LEDs were for testing porpoises only. Your build would look better, IMHO, with a nice warm/inviting amber glow to the whole box, which i think is your end goal so disregard this comment. Maybe lol. Regarding the cables for the front I/O, can you not give them the same clip treatment as the others? I think as long as you "bundle" them nicely they'd be OK. Even if just hanging out on the backside hahaha

Nice work with the tubes! I know how much of a bitch it can be working with copper piping Something you could try is once you figure the length of tube, before bending, plug one end with tissue paper or similar and then fill the tube with water and cap off the other end, stick it in the freezer and viola! Or pack it full of sand. Temporary budget mandrell bends! Maybe you can get a idea/tip or 2 from here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_bending

Keep up the great work man!

Edit: Wood dowling may also suffice for cheap mandrel solution, if you can get the material pliable enough to conform to the bend without snapping

Thanks! Yes the blue LED was just one I got with an XSPC res that I put in there to see how well it would light up the res. Thanks for all the comments

When this is all done you need to submit this to Million Dollar PC

Great job is that MDPC-X Copper sleeving? I have been looking at using that like this.

Didn't think about hooking it to the HDD LED.... I'll check that out. If you want to submit my rig for that please do . The more votes the better.

Fuga, if you would like to experiment with something like that I have a spare set of SBF 302w stock headers. They're a little rusty but otherwise in great condition. No O2 bungs or anything, they came off of a carbureted engine. They were replaced with some higher flow chrome headers

idk what those are.... I'm a car nub.
