Its a great reward receiving all the complements on its completed finish!

Do you mind sharing the specs on those screws and plastic holders you used to hold the cables (cable management) down without punching to far and hitting the mobo on the other side?

**Serpentarius** · 03-17-2009, 07:45 PM

why the neoprene hose? you're going below ambient?

Thanks, the wire placement worked out perfect. bit cramped but worked ha.

The holder are just cable clamps.

The place I got mine from is called Allied Electronics.
www.alliedelec.com

I got two sizes. The smaller one is part number N-2-BK-100PK and the larger is N-3-BK-100PK

and the screws are these babyshttp://www.mountainmods.com/632-25-i...ews-p-484.html, I just drilled where I wanted holes a bit smaller then the screws and away I went.

cheers!

Thank you for the kind words, I must admit I got the motivation and many of my ideas from looking at your beautiful builds. Must be the water in BC

Thanks, there were many times when certain things didn't look like they would come out perfect. the side panel dvd-drive door was one... but in the end it came together. If you take your time you can achieve anything. Practice makes perfect.

**lyl** · 03-19-2009, 05:21 PM

Awesome build. I really like your style

**~~MomijiTMO~~** · 03-20-2009, 08:03 PM

Yeah I agree with lyl, this build has a style of it's own. Great stuff.

Thanks both of you, really nice to get such positive feedback on my build!

**HuffPCair** · 03-20-2009, 08:57 PM

Wow I am jealous right now. Amazing work, I can't wait till I can get my WC rig going. I also hope it turns out half of what this is turning out to be.

Awesome work. Can't wait to see the finished product.

**SirKronan** · 08-12-2009, 09:32 PM

Hey, dang nice build! I really like the looks and how you integrated everything.

I was wondering, what kind of paint did you use, and does it chip easily?

As you can see, I have had some chipping issues with mine, if you look carefully at the bottom:

The best solution is to use a clear coat after the paint to avoid chipping

gr8 build, I was waching closely since the beginning. wish I could posted earlier but registration takes a lot of time

**Jokester_wild** · 08-13-2009, 05:17 AM

Yeah thanks guys. My paint wasn't too bad. but if you want it done proper get powder coating, so worth it. I wish I had.

**hausner** · 08-13-2009, 05:27 AM

ha thats a good name for it. I'm thinking of adding some red sleeving on the pci-e connectors to spice it up. I got some anyhow.

You're right. I should've thought of that. I'll do that when I watercool because I'll have to re-attach a lot of stuff anyways. Any recommendations for a good touch up paint that can be brush painted? Or should I just take it all apart and spray again?

Also, is there a clear coat protectant that won't make it glossy? Thanks again!

I think it's better If you give it a second coat, that will give it a much cleaner finish.

The clear coat will not be glossy if the paint is matt , I think

I will try it tonight and tell you
