    Rocky,
    Love the picture of your pup.

    What about the blue being the middle wire instead? I too struggle getting the heatsink lengths just right, sleeving is truly an art that I have no way mastered. Some people make it look so easy, now those are artist.

    We still need to come up with a way to coral all the wires once sleeved to give them that uniform center to center look. MOAR scotch is needed to contemplate this.

    John,
    Thanks! That is Dixie and she is the apple of my eye.
    I tried the middle plug first but it did not look right once I connected the two to the MB. Unfortunately all these wires are crossed so badly I decided upon the corner. I may just go back to black. I will take some pics tomorrow with them hooked up to the MB and go from there.

    In the case of corralling the wires, keep your pants on! I have it covered and all will be revealed this weekend. I am in the process of working with the patent attorneys!

    Looking good. I like the blue accent ... on the end looks good, and I think will be a nice touch with the 8-pin and PCI cables sleeved the same way.

    Don't be too hard on yourself re the heatshrink ... wait to check it out once it's plugged in.

    Dixie is enjoying herself, saying "sure glad he's doing that, and not me!"

    I must have missed it but what sleeving kit is that? Looks like they actually include the right size heatshrink unlike most of the generic kits out there.

    Since I'm still awake, I'll answer this one ... it's the murderMod.com PSYCHOPACK PSU sleeving kit, available for ordering on the website. It's excellent.

    Seeker if you want that setup, you can always add another dplug on the other side and run a F paralell.

    Im dying for a test subject to give it a shot.

    Hi theseeker, let me say that I like the people who choose a murderbox

    For your sleeving with blue accent, since I'm making a mod with sleeving too, I've been thinking of color accent a lot of time, and after looking a lot of charles build, my conclusion about that, it use a simple graphic rule (same used in photography, graphic design, cinema, etc) the rule of 1/3 2/3 proportion

    Add more blue, just 1 line is not enough, try 2 black, than 2 or 3 blue, than all black

    A few more pics.



    I added the 45



    versus the straight fitting...I like the 45 better but this is starting to look like a Harley and if I change the top I may have to change the bottom....?



    What do you think about the one blue wire?



    These wires will be hidden...just shown for aesthetic purposes only







    I will probably change the regular plugs to the BP plugs..thoughts?



    I am leaning towards no blue sleeving. The blue sleeving looks a little too light compared to the tubing IMO. Once again, your thoughts.
    The 8 pin MB connector will be passed under the MB and the 24 pin I have not decided upon.
    LMK your thoughts. You guys and gals always have good suggestions and I am on old trying to learn a new trick!

    Personally I would not do the blue, it is tough to get symmetry when the wires are crossed and the blue is all by its lonesome. Now if you did an Aquaero sensor wire or USB wire in blue that might fit in nice. I do like the 45 as it makes the run smoother out of the block.

    Everything is looking good, can't wait to see the next step.

    In agreement with SiGfever. I definitely like the 45 better.

    BP 45 FTW!

    It looks like it's coming together well. The blue sleeving does add a special touch, but probably hard to implement right.

    I'm not crazy about the blue sleeving, to be honest. Although I was scared to say anything because I didn't want to be the only naysayer, lol. I was starting to question my own artistic eye!

    I am in love with that 45. It is just so absolutely smooth, and it fits so well. Don't worry about changing the bottom. I think everything flows the way it's supposed to there. But then again, I haven't seen how your inlet is going to run, so that may play a major factor in that CPU outlet, and a 45 may be better.

    Keep up the awesome work brother!

    Thanks John! Good point, I cold sleeve the temp sensor from the Res possibly?

    One for the gals! Thanks Shazza! I like it better too but do you think I should do a 45 off the 2nd VC to the CPU block?

    Thanks BA! Just like John, another nice way of saying it looks like and don't bother. I agree!

    Ask Charles about sleeving tubing!

    Many thanks for the input! The 45 stays and sleeving leaves the building with Elvis!

    Thank you and never hold back! The BP 45 is a work of art without a doubt.

    I would not use a 45 off the cpu block but rather cut about 1-2 cm's off the existing bit there, just shorten it up a bit. I think the tubing should be smooth and it looks like it's bulging just a bit. Easy to fix though, as long as you don't like your fingerprints.

    I would try the 45 on the CPU block and see what looks best. Doesn't your Aquaero require a USB feed like mine?

    seeker, you may need to flip your cpu 90 degree's.

    the way you have it now it seems like your intersecting the long side, when you should run paralell to it.

    Noticed on blocks it works better when your run paralell vs perpendicular.

    I have no fingerprints BA, between sleeving and tubing! My housekeeper was watching and wondering what I was doing boiling H20 and sticking tubing in a coffee cup today. She flipped out over the Rad-Dance too!
    Yes, it is a bit too long but I have learned to wait and make sure for the next development.

    NaeKuh, I am under direct orders from BA on this one as he is the reigning HD Di god!

    Let me know when you're having a vodka or wine party, as I would like to be invited.

    I haven't quite developed a taste for scotch just yet, so I suppose I'm not too much of a gentleman. Oh well, perhaps one day when I have some hair on my chest I can hang with the big boys!
