I need to find a headset, can't wait to verbally abuse all of my new found friends. :p:
I'm generally not a fan of mixing colors, but after I saw your rad sandwich, I regained all of my faith. :D
Nice stuff! It should looks good :up:Quote:

/Me like UV :D What i dont like is mixing colors, in your case i could make an exception since blue and green mix very nice :up: I realy cant wait to see more....
I though all blue would be awfully boring so I had to choose a second color and since the motherboard has UV green slots green was a prime choice :). there is going to be an intense amount of UV light in this case so it should be incredible looking when assembled ;)
oh and one more thing, there is about twice as much blue as there is green :D
good logic.:up: looking forward for more photos:DQuote:

So the time has come for another update! This time I decided to tackle the problem of hard drive mounting which I really like my solution to and I hope you do too :)
this update was shot with the DMC-LX3 again sothe pictures came out very nice :D
also you can see below the painting I did and the waterblock installed on the video card.
The subjects to be painted, prepped with 100 grit paper.

the end result:

I dont use these front ports anyway so I used some hex caps bolts and nuts to hold the plate in without the port hub behind it

My hard drive mounting solution, its a v1000 drive cage chopped down to only 2 drive rails and mounted to a custom white plate of aluminum I made with the Nibbler and the drill
http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/517...frost65oe5.jpg
the white plate is attached to the case support rails with clear adhesive 3M modders tape, this provides a gel sound damning and a clean mount look with plenty of strength :up:

At the last photo there you can see the 8-pin CPU power as I've attached it to the PSU with the cables all flat and lined up, I used the 3m modder's tape to arrange these as well. As you can see it provides a clean and subtle method for organizing cables.
Next up I am waiting for an order to come in from performance-pcs with some rotary male-to-male fittings and the acrylic for the window. In the wait I think I will be working on mounting the reservoirs to the case and a few other small bits of work.
Hope you guys enjoyed the update and have a merry Christmas!
oohhh, aahhhh, coming along beautifully. I also love the blue and green combo.
Isnt the 4th and 5th photo the same? :confused:
Anyway... i always love to see progress on this build, keep up the good work :up:
thanks for the compliments and for pointing that out, fixed it :)Quote:

That looks fantastic Sniipe!
You should be very proud :D
Looking good Sniipe Dogg. I like the white cable sleeving, looks slick.
