haha, I knew I shouldn't have show that picture, but I wanted to show my handy work :p:Quote:

Oh Sniipe, have you turned that motherboard on yet? I love it, it has blue lights! :D MSI couldn't have done a better job with it, fantastic board. And unlocked my Phenom II X2 550 BE with EASE, got me a lovely quadcore now :) LinX stable too at stock!
Keep at it sniipe, you're nearly done!
Love the work by the way :yepp:
what parts exactly did you use to get the tubing through thegranite (i mean, part's wise, not to make the cuts)? Did you just make a G1/4" thread, then screw the barbs in?
<-- :D
Looks great :)
Look like BeePee fillports to me, though I'm not sure they're long enough for how thick that granite looks.Quote:

and yes kibbler, the nibbler is one of my favorite tools, if you actually work carefully with it you can make great clean cuts :) that was a 5 second hack job - I was holding up the motherboard tray with one hand, pushing the mobo up of the tray with the fingers on the same hand, and nibbling with my other hand.... sounds like comedy now that I think about it ;)
on an unimportant kind of irrelevant note: the system is finished and assembled
if its done then were is the rez pic
