Thanks Rodney!
This is the BP fitting http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...ducts_id=22623
The 285's in SLI are screamers. After reading all the reviews and playing a few games I decided 2 cards were enough. Although you may want to ask Shazza what she thinks.

[theseeker]

A little update!
I finally solved the VC wiring problem and I like the blue sleeving, although I wish it were a bit deeper blue. I still have to decide where to rout the VC wires to the PSU but I have a few ideas and maybe one more trick left up my "sleeve."



Much better than the Zeus wiring...thanks Charles!



A couple of aerial views.......





I still have to manage the wires but I like the effect...



I have to get better at this......



LMK what you think! This log has to end soon so I can M|M my dual Opty server.
Now it's time for a scotch, you too John!

[SiGfever]

End, what do you mean end? We will have no talk like that here mister. We expect you to do what Shazza did and make it the perpetual build so we can all get our daily fixes.

She says that it is because of hardware issues but we all know that she is really doing it to help us "Build Junkies".

[PradaG]

NICE!

now were talking!

you can do all kinds of things w/ all those cables...it looks WAY better than the original w/ the inline PCI-E's (little stubz)

now to mastermind the flow do you have enough length in the wires to bring the top v-card wires above the card rather than below? (leaving the bottom card wires going to the bottom) -
depending on how you can arrange them, it would look nice through the top plexi (especially since you have 2 colors...the blue will def draw the eye)

can't wait to see what comes next

Come on John, this is getting longer than a Cecil B. DeMille movie!
The server M|M build will be much more interesting, trust me!
Having a scotch yet?

Thanks PradaG!
I toyed with running one set of wires over the top but it doesn't look quite right and it would really stretch the wires. I will probably keep it similar to what it looks like now. However, I will manage the wires much better.
I am really having fun at this point but my fingers are tired from sleeving!

Looking good! On the blue ... I think the slightly lighter blue cabling will be fine. If you want a tubing that is closer to the cabling, you can try the Primochill LRT ... it's available in 3/8" by 5/8" :

I used the 7/16" version in my earlier iteration. And, to respond to Mr. SiGfever --- I agree, you can't finish the build - unless, you promise to go right into another!

[charles_h]

Looking good Rocky!

In addition to the Primochill, I'd suggest also try clear hose and blue Feser One coolant. I reckon that'll come close to matching the blue of your accent sleeving.

Looks like you could use a bit more room behind your reservoir. If my custom mount design works out, I'll make an extra set for you.

Shazza thanks for the kudos!
Now you tell me about the tubing. It looks good but my fingers are still recovering from the sleeving and I am not about burn them with new tubing!
And I am ready to start the next build. It will be called "Copper-Head" and it will be a silver TJ07.

Many thanks to the M|M God and Creator!

I have had nothing but bad luck with additives for colors, but I am open.

Yep, I could use more room and some INDUSTRIAL RES mounts too!

Thanks Charles!

The Feser One comes premixed.

As for the res mount in development; I'd say its pretty far from "Industrial". In fact, I'm going for a floating look ~ minimalistic with the reservoir supported by two sets of three adjustable pins. That's the idea at least...

Once the prototype is complete, I'll post pics in Daniel's worklog.

You vill be shot at dawn, undt you vill be allowed an American cigarette, undt a blindfold!

As usual, now you tell me! You and Shazza, this must be a conspiracy?

[charles_h]

I took the pic away because upon reflection, I thought it was rather uncouth of me to be cluttering up your buildlog with my stuffs...

Do I still has to be shooted?

Charles, you are a whoot!

[shazza]

Charles should be shooted, but only because HE is the cause of us spending more money (not ME, as some have mistakenly maligned).

Nice res mounts, Charles.

Note ... I do agree that the Feser One Blue in clear tubing would be a nice touch, as I can attest that it is a lighter color than the Feser blue tubing. And, the color would be nice in the acrylic blocks as well. One caveat ... you do get some "spillover" of the colored coolant onto the nickel insets in the acrylic block, which might not sit will with your perfectionist nature.

Shazza, You kid yourself. You both should be shooted! You (Shazza) caused the 285 event and Charles caused the numerous M|M sleeving kits.
And not to mention the numerous midplates that are in my possession.
However, I will need those Res mounts very soon.
I may be tempted to use a "colorant" in my loop as long as it is blue and it will not cause any unsightly mess in my blocks.
Enough, I have to eat, run the dogs and brush my teeth!
Goodnight kids.

BTW, stay tuned for the "Copper-Head" build. This will be a rebuild of my server. A Silver TJ07 with dual Opty's, dual H20 cooled VC's and it will consist of AC gear. It should be fun.

I BLAME ALL OF YOU *stands ontop of soap box and points at all of you!! Wretched people with beautiful beautiful technology......I now go to bed....bitspower fittings.....mm noonono, tri sli ek blocks.....ahhh....What if I ran a radiator for each of those....so extreme.....many restless nights I must say. Don't even get me started on sleeving!!

[shazza]

Oh, come on, Jhors2 --- you know you want it!!! (Although I'd say dual 285s is ample, even on a 30" monitor).


Rocky ... you know you wanted those 285s, cause the EK blocks look good! And, I love your reason for editing your last post. Now, I gotta head out to the spa for a bit of relaxation and thinking (hmmmnnn, how do I turn that fried Aquaero LCD into the reason for something fun and new????)

[ShoNuff]

Rocky I like that blue sleeving...so much so I wanted some...but my colors/them have changed. It still looks good on your rig though.

Charles, how do you think of this stuff? Incredible...just plane incredible!

[j.almonte]

Seeker.... I tip my hat !!!!!! awesome progress and updates there !!!!!

I dont want my M|M any more..........

I did want them.I just needed some place to lay the blame.

Thanks for the kudos! I am having fun with the pics which has turned into another hobby.

Tell me about it.... I spend all the money for the core i7 upgrades in a canon 70-200 f4 Is lens....

@theseeker.....well done You have turned your build into art, love it

[dualbrain]

Sir Rocky: so much fun hanging out in this thread Btw. - you are not forgotten, I just have so much to do. I am also very sorry that you can never complete your build because of everything that comes out ... I should not mention the next thing that you will change ... it is blue
