Looking good, I really like the looks of the new AC block. I can't wait to see some test results.
Here is the wiring compliments of Shoggy. :up:
I am the impatient type! I agree with you Shazza, Charles is selling PC Crack and we are all addicted!!Quote:

If it is anything like the Cuplex Di, this will be an addiction too! However, that blue top on the Cuplex is very sexy and I already miss it. Enjoy the Aquaero and the software.Quote:

BTW, Shoggy is a GOOD GUY and always ready to help.
A surprising concept how you solved the colour shape at the midplate logo... Very very funny and unexpected :up:.
But I have one request: could you please post a front picture of the installed quad feser radiator to see the distance to the casesites, would be nice if you also wrote down the mm/cm....(if possible) :D
Kindly excuse this exceptional demand, but I am planing a complete new project at the moment... and I am :lsfight: with myself for some fixes.
I was just wondering, how did you manage to solve your little problem with the bubbeling paint? :)
Had a similar issue some years ago where the paint previously applied, reacted with the paint I applied to the material. Gave this strange bubbeling effect.
What type of chemical cleaning were you using?
Nice build btw. Everything looks amazingly sleek. :)
Thanks! Use this http://www.duplicolor.com/products/stripper.htmlQuote:

My plans were going well, painting miscellaneous parts, drilling, re-riveting, re-painting and the like. I was on schedule to eat a late lunch and begin sleeving, then the doorbell rang, my dogs went ballistic and so did my wife. We have a standing rule around here, don't call or stop by on Sunday especially during football season. There went my sleeving and my Zen moment! I did manage to get a couple of things done.
I mounted the Hammond boxes (thanks Charles) for the Feser.

You have to countersink (thanks BA) these holes from the bottom to get a nice flush fit.

They screw in from the bottom and then apply HD double sided tape.

This process took longer than expected, now I know what you mean BA. You get the mounting idea from this...

I drilled the rivets in the midplate and repainted it again! What a PITA!!
I am happy that I did and I also placed the grommets..Thanks again Charles.

Finally put the pieces in place.

The next time I do this and it will be soon. I will send this stuff out for powdercoating. I enjoy painting but this was a challenge.
Excellent progress. You did quite well for a football Sunday, and unexpected interruptions as well!
Looks awesome Rocky!
My one suggestion would be to remove the lids from the Hammond boxes - they're not needed. Removing them will give you a bit more clearance between the top of the rad and the underside of the midplate for cable management.
You're in the home stretch now! :)
Now you tell me!:clap:Quote:

And thanks to the Academy...oops, sorry wrong speech.
Well I started and I must say this is totally addicting. Sleeving is the easy part pulling out the pesky plugs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01467.jpg is the hard part. I will always sleeve from now on. The pictures do not do justice to the sleeving. I could have used a third and fourth hand for stretching it though but I am getting the hang of it.
I started with something easy.

The tip of an exacto knife works great for this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01465.jpg
Much better...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01466.jpg
I did all wires individually but I decided to cover all of them with a larger piece of heat shrink for the industrial look.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01468.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01471.jpg
It will look much better than this...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01387.jpg
I only had time for one more so I did this for a challenge...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...n/DSC01469.jpg
I used a cutting mat for ease of measurement, exacto knife, heat gun and an Olfa Rotary Cutter for the sleeving and the heat shrink. This is a great tool but it is extremely sharp. It will give you the finest cuts you can possibly get. It was designed to cut leather!

I found the heat gun at Hobby Lobby for $15.00 and it works great, my finger tips are burned!
Happy sleeving!
That heatgun will make history :D I love it so much, please ship a few to me!
Send me some Pay-Pal money and we will be good to go!Quote:

The rad is a TFC quad.
Some news for the waiting masses? If not, please post some pictures of the great "Heat Toll" in action...:D
