    UPDATE

    ok i got my camera back.... took some pic's of my case how it is atm....



    Added a mcr120 to the rear for my 3rd loop



    3 acrylic bay reservoir's



    i sanded and polished the middle divider to near mirror finish,i'm not finished with it yet waiting on some mother's billet polish in the mail (for a true mirror finish) this how it looks atm



    As you can see it's mirror but i wasn't 100% satisfied (still cloudy)will how well it comes's up when the new polish arrives



    Another full shot of case....



    Bottom section has remained the same with the 2 triple rad's



    Another shot of the middle section look at the middle section compared to the mobo tray...



    Last one's you can just see the palm tree's reflecting off the middle divider



    That all for now.....

    I'm still a fair way off from finishing waiting on an order from petra's and a order from ek i'm guessing 2 weeks until arrive...

    In the time being i still i have to cut the mobo tray for cable management and finish cutting my side panels for the modder's mesh

    cheers

    all comments and suggestions are welcome

    See what you mean about the polishing. That molex and wires reflection is pretty good but just that bit of cloudy tinge over it.
    That last shot of the rads really fooled your camera's auto settings. lol
    You should have your Petra's things pretty quick but the other may drag on a bit. I hate the waiting.
    It's funny comparing them. I find Petra's arrive in the time it takes PerfPC to dispatch. lol

    Yeah that's why i wasn't 100% happy with the polishing job...see how the billet polish work's when it arrive's i may need to sand again if still cloudy...

    My camera ain't the best only cost 100bucks last yr...I took everyone's advice this time and actually took the pic's in natural light...

    As for the postage time Aslong as i get my gear before the end of the month i'm happy...

    Give's me time to get my panels and case done....

    cheers jedda

    The blue sleeving you've used on those ugly multi-colour multi-strand stuff Lian Li use off the front fittings will continue to unravel it's weave unless you heat shrink that end. Jaycar have blue in a size that will slip over the end fittings in blue or black.

    Can't give you a complete link because of how their site works but here is their site and in Browse Products you want Wire and Cable and in the second line Heatshrink-Blue.
    You can buy online or at a branch, Ipswich, Mermaid Beach, Underwood, Woolloongabah etc

    If you decide on the acrylic let me know because I have a fair bit left over and I could hook you up.

    Great work on the polishing btw

    It's really your choice. Nothing is set in stone. You can always add plexi or polish more later on when your feeling more enthusiastic.
    I think the slight cloud only shows in some pix and it looks quite good in others.
    Problem with getting it perfect is keeping dust free for ever. You're not modding for a show but for your personal box and it makes sense to keep things practical.

    yeah it get real dusty in my room..... i wish i had wood floors...Hmmm i dunno
    when i put my finger next to metal it's pretty good but the further away is what i'm whining about...

    I'll give it a couple more run's of polish and see how it goes...
