[charles_h]

Absolutely amazing photos and design Charles! This look a-bloody-mazing!

Keep up the great work mate!

Thanks Brenton.

Charles ... you are my guru

Cheers Malik.

I'm a HUGE fan of your work and photography... always inspiring!

I know how you feel with that one, for me, my build keeps getting held up on account of two main things- money and time
dont have the money go get the parts I want (and Im not even going for ultra high end.. a GTX 260) and I dont have the time to just sit down, clear my head and plot/ doodle/ figure out how I'm going to do what
final build is going to look stunning
I do have one question for you (Hoping you might have some experience with them) http://www.mainelectronics.com/heatshrink.htm <---how is their heatshrink? I'm looking into getting some of the adhesive lined, I just would like to know what kind of quality it is (cheaper than ordering from cableorganizer.com, much less shipping cost)

Sorry for the late response.

I've been in that shop just once. I will say that glue lined heatshrink is great for some apps but I've found that good 3:1 thin walled stuff offers a much better result. Less bulky for one thing. When I first started sleeving PSUs I was using the glue lined stuff and it added so much to the thickness at the connectors. My advice (if it's not too late) would be to go with the thin walled 3:1 stuff.

Thanks for the images of the drill bit! Don't worry about a part number, the pictures will do just fine! I'll see if I can't find a similar bit somewhere around here. And might I say that's a pretty spify idea you got there with the sLIGHT twist ! It all makes sence now!!! Excellent job with it - can't wait to see those final images of the finished case!

P.S. And to think that I thought that "Aboot" was only how us maritimers talked, lol!!!

Cheers Mike.

Wonderful Photos, and of course beautiful case..

Thank you Mr_Mike!

Just when you think it cant get any better than this Charles just bumps it up another notch

Great work m8

Cheers Tims!

I'm dying for an update....

*bump*

hehe, I know it's long over due.

Truth is, it's hurry up and wait time. Got a bunch of stuff going on behind the scenes - just nothing worth reporting on just yet. Looks like instead of shipping the case to Daniel and have him create the upper loop, I may be doing some of it. We're discussing what the best course of action is ATM. Certain Mips may be making the trip to Canada only to be turned around and sent back to Europe. In any event, there'll be plenty for Daniel to do!

Another thing is the EK reservoir. I'm not a fan of the puny little clear plexi holders that come with so I ordered a set of the beefier black ones. Problem is they don't fit properly - the res just slides through. This got me thinking that maybe another solution is in order so I got to work on designed new mounting brackets (murderMounts?). I had an idea for a "floating look" and came up with a concept that's going through prototyping now. I'm sure you guys would rather wait till it's complete and see it in action rather than some crummy renders.

Still waiting on the powder coating. Well actually, it was waiting on me. I was hoping to go down and photograph the whole process but I've just been too busy. I gave them the go ahead today to run the job and I'll have to try to shoot the next batch. I thought some of you might like to see the process from start to finish. Maybe I could even resurface zen frog!
