And the parts stockpiling begins... like Christmas delivered to your door. :D
looking good ... (and, you know the reason I had to pass on the sleeving opportunity - I only do single malts :) )
Oh well, my wife gave me one today!

This will give me something to "work on" tonight!
oh blue label, much difference beteen that and the standard "red i think it is" ?
Hmm, looks sweet seeker :)
Fingers crossed, and if all goes well, bench test tomorrow!
Stay tuned.........big update coming tomorrow, and it could involve, dare I say sleeving? Yikes:eek:
I lied, only a small update.:(
A couple of additions-changes;
1. Koolance MB cooler
2. Two D5's
3. SR 1 140
4. i7 990x
5. LSI 9260 8i + 4 C400 SSD's, when they become available in RAID 0.
6. EXTREME Sleeving! :eek:
My sleeving abilities are good, but not good enough. Shazza hooked me up with Martin and this happened.............

Just a teaser, but you get the idea. I do not have Martin's artistry in my hands but he was kind enough to send me a few pics. Once they arrive I will post all of them together in a family portrait, I cannot wait! Thanks Martin!!
I am still waiting on a few parts to arrive and impatiently awaiting the release of the C400 SSD's. I was tempted to H20 my RAM, but since I have very little airflow in may case I may just do what I did in my last build and use the Corsair Fan, right. Who needs airflow with H20 cooling?
Cheers!
impressive results!
Who is this this Martin guy? :p: Either way he does a fantastic job.
That Colour-X looks fantastic.
wait... some guy.... martin... did your sleeving? hmmm....
/looks for martin!!!
hehe
I think this Martin guy will get a lot of new friends, that sleeving looks amazing:clap:

My new little helper was not impressed.

I took these pictures in natural light to show the true color. Nil's sleeving is outstanding and Martin's work maybe the best I have ever seen! The heat shrink is amazingly uniform and I could never come close to Martin's level. Highly recommended.
The tear down begins this weekend, I think, still studying some additional options.
The sleeving looks great, top job! :up:
Awesome sleeving skills, pre cut sleeving ? Oh and sexy dog :D
Subscribing..
Looking forward to see how you tackle this! I too am completely gutting and re-doing my tj07. I initially built it as my first WC project last year about this time. I'll be starting a new worklog for the build.
Going to be making a huge order with DualBrain here in about a week. Damn exchange rate is killing me though. I'll be doing my cables myself, I figure, it will be good therapy for my shoulder (surgery this week for a rotator cuff tear).
I'm a big fan of your work and will be following closely :)
I use Primochill too, I love it! I have some of their red and it's actually more of an orange than deep red though. I wasn't happy with it when I was doing my original red/black build.
What size are you planning on doing? I have 10 ft of 1/2" ID 3/4" OD in my office that I'm not using.
Actually, sleeving is relaxing but it is also very time consuming. Sorry to hear about your shoulder.
I use 3/8 ID x 5/8 OD. I didn't like the color either so I am going clear, white and black.
Thanks!
