Yeah what the sh*t is this? Sleeved tube´s
It looks damn awesome!

[Dangals]

I agree - that looks amazing!!!

FriedChicken - you must feel like one of the luckiest guys on the planet at this point in time!!

[peebee]

Cheers Charles!

Always impressed by your work.
I guess you are the founder of sleevemania

Very impressive! Your eye for details is amazing.

[emoners]

awesome on the sleeved tubes Charles! but blinking lights?

[Markicks]

Wauw, the sleeved tubes do look amazing! Although I think there are to much LEDs above the videocards.

[dnb#]

Charles,

this looks amazing. I would really love more of these pics! The leds look nice too and especially with the effect you gain by making pics of it.
absolute crayness this is.

cheers dnb#

[Colossous]

Great job as allways duder

[disruptfam]

more pics thats one awesome build!!!

what size tubing is that looks huge!!!

[twwen2]

Aaarrrgh noooo, where are teh tubes!!??

J/K it's amazing Nice to see some fresh ideas

[Exso]

That looks amazing. The sleeving on the tubes isn't something I had seen before. I am not sure if I would do that on my own rig, but it looks amazing nonetheless. Looking forward to more pics.

I do have a quick question. I see that you are planning to offer the Murder mod top grill for sale in July. Are planning to offer other mod pieces as well?

[ZL1Killa]

gosh durn that looks freakin sexy as all hell!!!!!! whenever i buy a new case... oh man all these build logs especially this one have been very inspiring

[charles_h]

Thanks for the comments Guys.

awesome on the sleeved tubes Charles! but blinking lights?

hehe they don't blink - they're white LED strip lights wrapped in... wait for it - sleeving. It's split braid actually. Diffuses the light nicely. What you're seeing is a lens effect because of the long exposure.

what size tubing is that looks huge!!!

It's 1/2" ID Tygon - 11/16" OD rather than the usual 3/4" to help slim the sleeved hoses a bit. They still look rather plump though, don't they.

Yes. Details coming very soon.



Project Update: Looks much better in the light of day for sure. Buttoned up the bits and filled the loop. 2 of the stopper fittings on the GPU blocks are leaking despite being as tight as I can get them. I'll have to drain and investigate further. I figured I'd take a few more pics before doing so but discovered my camera battery is dead. The day is conspiring against me - perhaps I'll take the rest of the day off and go for a hike.

I'll charge up the battery a bit and post a couple pics before I go.

ing awesome. He is a GOD people!

[evil-98]

wow, we need more pictures! that looks amazing

[charles_h]

Thanks Guys.

Pics downloading from camera. I only took a few because I have to drain the loop ASAP - the grape juice is dripping and that stuff is messy!

I wanted to get some quick pics but once I sort out the fittings, I'll take many more. I just wanted to get some up today rather than make you guys wait any longer.

Friday = pic day - come hell or dripping coolant.

[charles_h]

Lens flare!






Going to drain the loop then go play outside for the day. More pics to follow.

[twwen2]

MMmmm yum. Great pics. Personally i think it lacks colour, but then it's not my build is it. Amazing work with the sleeving too. One quick question; what tube clamps did you use?

[seb87]

how do you mount the hdd ?? can you make more photo of that area ??

[BlueAqua]

Very nice pictures charles! I'm a huge fan of this project as I love the intricate detail work.

What is the direction of flow? It almost appears that if it's going into the cpu block first then it would be going in the outlet. Otherwise the pump is pumping into the reservoir.

[Martijn]

Charles, any chance you'll be offering the center piece (with the display) that separates the lower/upper section? I'll also be modding my TJ07 when I get it, but I won't be routing any cables throught the pre-manufactured holes.

[lowfat]

Wow, can't believe I never looked at this thread earlier. Truely inspiring. It had definitely made me re-think my builds.

[disruptfam]

Charles can we get some 1680 x 1050 flavour of those pics

You sleeve the sata power connectors aswell!!! wow

amazing build!

[Dawgdoc]

OMFG.

The quality and attention to detail is simply amazing.

AMAZING.

After read this thread I think I need to go clean myself up.......

GOOD WORK CHARLES!

I typically like to do all of my own builds, but after seeing this I may need to contact you

[Friedchicken]

Charles,

I think only you, me, your wifey and your fish know how much effort you have put into this. It is really too bad that pictures are 1/10th of the story.

There are so many details that aren't even in your illustrations.

As for the total look&feel, you totally pulled it off. It has a very Sci-Fi feel to it, that the geek in me responds to strongly. It reflects my style exactly.

Understated, powerful, timeless.

Side note: I am going to fill up those empty ram banks. It should finish that area off nicely.

Everyone here has been so supportive, I know Charles is driven by your comments. Thanks to everyone here for the great sense of community.

[Lu(ky]

So what MUSEUM is it going in? Great Job...
