    Right here dude

    They have a huge selection of sleeve, shrink, and others (I bought P-clips from here, too). And cheaper per/ft than PPCs.

    Did a test fit with the MCW60 and didn't like how the comp fittings + NPSM adapters were working (long and heavy). Which brings us here:



    Me like. The brass G1/4 thread is a nice touch.

    thanks Kib.
    i've been trying to find a comparison between fullcover block vs gpu only block. would you mind sharing why you chose a gpu only block over fc?

    To be honest it was dollar tag shock (read: expensive). And I'm not planning on SLI. And iandh's sinks are sexy. And hopefully I can re-use the GPU-only block in a future upgrade. And FC blocks can bend cards. And they're heavy. Did I mention expensive?

    hhaha. gotcha bro.
    i was going to go gpu only block, but i was clueless on how to cool the other important stuff. but i read somewhere, fc can mix the temps of gpu and vrms/memory. does iandh have heatsinks for gtx280s? thanks

    Just for fun, I saved the pics from that thread:

    high school senior year dorm room. 90 on the inlet lulz


    oh yeah check out that chunk of maze2 copper


    i was so proud of sticking a fan behind the bezel to do push-pull. this photo is fked up, but if you look closely you can see the custom plate made from mild steel to replace the original 80mm opening. It was cut with a nibbler.


    uh, wire management before the sleeving epidemic?

    Agreed, but I did a piss-poor job of painting them so stainless steel's all I've got at the moment.

    I also got one of these.


    And cut/sand/re-painted like so.


    So I could do this.

    Interesting build, using "cheap" aluminum framing to make radmounts in a "cheap" case, yet powder coating hdd brackets.
    Looks good, I'll be following this one.
    You actually gave me some idea's for my maybe new build.

    keep it up.

    Hi, sorry I have not been updating as of late. There are a few updates in terms of parts (new res-top, rotary fittings, etc.) but unfortunately I haven't been taking any good pictures. Gf took her good camera on holiday and I'm left with my weaksauce camera. Actually I've been very busy sanding, priming, painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting...

    I hope to upload some more photos once the majority of the painting is done, put all the small updates together for a juicier post.

    Thanks for your patience, I hope you will like the final build.
