Thank you so much for the input. I was already considering most of your suggestions before the comments.

1 - The only bare wires I have are the Reset/Power (which I cut way down) and the wires for the spot fan on the NB. I couldn't find my black sleeves when I put the PC together, but when I re-open the case for the summer coolant flush, I will most likely sleeve them.
2 - Totally agree on the hose clamps, I used the ones that came with the watercooling set. When I re-open, I was thinking of going with clear tie-straps (like on the CPU).
3 - I am waiting for the price of the high def drives to drop, and then this sucker is getting replaced. I will be painting the replacement DVD Drive.
4 - I love the green/blue, the wife hates it. So, majority rules, and the summer flush will replace the coolant with blue coolant. Marriage is such a great democracy, huh?

Again, thanks for the input. Those were really great suggestions!

Before you paint you should head over to mnpctech.com and look at a couple of their vinyl films. I'm not sure if it's anything you'd be interested in but it might look better than paint.

Ah marriage... I will be losing my ability to think for myself this Sept.

Nevermind the 5 rating. Hell, I got a 6 for not having lights in my system. What can you do?

Hi Guys,

Small update to the rig after 2 years of loyal service. New tubing and fluid color, new OS, more memory, and a new video card (HD 5850). Enjoy!
