Both Drives were painted black to make the front more flush. Painted inside black, The origonal paint for the exterior was a little to glossy so I toned it down a little. Cut off all those "hunnycomb" grills. A few custom wires, to reach exterior 120cm fan. Making a new wiring harness to reach the 2 new 120cm fans, that I'll put on the Hayden radiator.

You have to admit, though that there needs to be more light on the left side.
AHA thats what I need to do. Put the light switch to the cathodes somewhere!!!
Anybody have any ideas they like to make happen!!

Braided hosework looks EXCELLENT!

:)

* Heh, almost up there with using metal braided hoses for radiators etc. in hotrods on the street...

APK

P.S.=> I THINK I know where you get some of your "inspirations" from (between those braided hoses & the radiator cooling? It's a dead-give-away, lol!), & it's from another 'genre' very much like this one - hotrodded cars! apk

As do I, but can't "swing" (or rather, am unwilling to) gas costs nowadays for a V-8, although some of the small blocks out there now do pretty well (e.g.-> Mustang 4.6L, probably equates to old 1960's 289 CID imo).

Anyhow/anyways, on this note?

Well, this thread MAY interest you then:

Chillen, you're gonna laff imo!

See subject line/title, & put on "mental seatbelts":

I liked the 'braided hose' effect (and fact it IS a reinforcement too), above, on your cooling... well, today, I was in my basement messing around in parts for the home, & discovered the EXACT same braiding in a commonly used household appliance - the kitchen sink (optional) water spray nozzle & flexible neck attachment!

:)

* I laffed & thought about this thread!

(Yes, that's right... sometimes, forum stuff invades my daily life too & gives me a chuckle about coincidence!)

APK

P.S.=> Not being sarcastic or trying to bust on your rig, because I still love that braided hose hotrod engine hosework still... just had to mention this! apk

What does that thumbs up sign come from in the icon list? Does it have a different meaning than good job?

The hose I can see where it can look like nitrous, gas inline tubing.

I like your new shots.

Two minor comments.

-The uv cathode at the bottom should be mounted flat against the bottom edge of the case. It looks funny on an angle.

- and the pump is kind of crooked.

Just a couple of suggestions IMO.

No, No I love the comments. Also if you look closer the pump has been flipped upside down. This way it can go to the radiators first and get the water cooler; instead of sending the water to the hot pump then to the waterblocks. Will fix the Cathodes and change those pics!!!!
!!!Thanks fo the imput!!!

I don't really like to strap down cathodes because I'm constantly moving ,modding, and adjusting things around.

Chillen, something you MAY want to look @...

Hydro-cooled memory attachments...

:)

* These look NEAT, & probably would "top off/put the icing on (literally, & pun intended)" on your machine (cake)... making it ALL "water-cooled" to-the-max!

(Probably help in overclocking it as well to some extent!)

Oh yea. I have looked at memory module waterblocks. Except that the only dimension for tubing is 1/4ID. That would be a problem. And my memory is hardwired do to the lights. I would hate to have to use a reducer. And the harddrive liquid coolers are out of the question do to clearance btwn the harddrives and the case side when I put it back on.

I am however looking at making a one off custom made waterblock for the X-FI. I just need practice. I would problably use the same waterblock that is on my GPU and modify it a little! That would def. be one of a kind!!!
