Looking great, seeker. I was wondering if you had tried to take apart the AC block and flip the mounting plate upside down, whould it work then?

Wowsers Seeker!!

I think I have just officially decided on my next two video cards when it is finally time for me to upgrade!!

And I think I also know exactly what I want to do when i'm ready to watercool!

Sorry, I'm not creative at all in my own mind, that's why I frequent these magnificent threads, lol.

Keep up the excellent work, I'm highly impressed (for whatever it's worth).

OK folks I need some opinions. I am taking my time and redoing all of my cable management and playing with the colors again. These pics show my idea of adding blue to the bottom PCI-e cables on the end of each 285. LMK what you think, :up: or :down:

At least my sleeving skills are improving, I think?
Now I am waiting on the peppermint sleeving from Nils (blue & white interwoven) and I will be done!:eek:
As always, all comments are welcome!

Rocky, your pictures are really improving and I like the blue accent color there, good idea.

The blue really makes it look fresh and it pops out at you. It reminds me of the original murderbox. ;)

Yep, I'm liking the blue too. (and, "No, I am NOT going to redo mine with some red, just cause yours looks nice"). Really looks like things are shaping up. You're in the groove, but surely it must be Scotch time in Texas.

I love the blue, that is clean looking, like BA says, pops right out at you.

Damn Rocky those pictures are fantastic. :clap: :clap:

I do like the blue and would like to see them secured tight to the black bundle to see the effect. And I ran out of scotch so please don't think less of me, I had to drink some Crown Royal "Special Blend" tonight. :eek: :)

Definitely stick with the blue, it looks great.

Not only that, but I hate to think of you putting all that effort into sleeving those cables only to take the idea out of the build, lol.

Great artistic vision there! :up:

NaeKuh, Enjoy what you have while you can! Thank you for the nice comment about our "KID's." The great thing about them is that they love us unconditionally, however, we have never skipped feeding them!:D

Thanks buddy, it is worth a lot! You should really take the H20 plunge! You will always have a great deal of help and you will not regret it!

Thanks BA! I truly appreciate your input. I am trying to tie in the blue sleeving with the tubing and hoping to be artistic at the same time.
I was attempting a "pop" as you stated. I did a dry run and they look good under the LED's. However, I don't about the original M|M Box?
Thanks for all of the encouragement and tips along the way!

Thank you Shazza! You are my heroin, not to mention you cost me a lot of bucks! I love your "out there" approach. Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes, the scotch is flowing and we have a big dinner in the making, Carne Asada, pinto beans, homemade tortillas, queso and much more! Thanks for the input!

John,
I will secure them! You are a PITA, just kidding!
You should slap yourself for not having a backup bottle of scotch:ROTF:

Thanks! It appears that the blue is ahead 5-0. :eek:

I really appreciate the artistic comment. I strive for artistic and creative, yep I am wierd, but I am happy and I don't take Prozac!

I like the blue accent - it looks really nice - can we get a pic of what the flow would look like off the v-cards

I also think the blue looks great....Do they make the same color blue heat shrink to have it be competely blue? Your sleeving job does look great I just hope mine improves with my next build.

Thanks PradaG! The blue is obviously a keeper and thanks for your input.
The flow may be the same as pictured below, but I am considering something completely different.....

Man ... I dont think I can ever get sick at looking at those nickle plated EK blocks just goes so wll the shinny silve BP fittings also.

The Blue sleeving looks good also as it give some color to the build and matches your tubing well.

Hey, Seeker, someone pointed it out in the BP lovin' thread already but wanted to make sure you knew that your second GPU won't get any flow. :eek:

Actually I meant this one. I think the first card gets it fine but the second doesn't cause it will just flow straight through. :shrug:

That is not the way it will be installed. I just slapped it together to take pics.

That is the money shot! Nice job Rocky. :up:

What BP fitting is that that you use to connect the blocks? How do you like the dual 285's with your 30" monitor? I'm trying to decided if I go for Tri-SLI or not.
