    Another thing I find funny is AMD/Intel would snipe any of our Moms on a grocery run if it meant good quarterly results, and you are forever whining about what feser did?

    I lied, only a small update.

    A couple of additions-changes;

    1. Koolance MB cooler
    2. Two D5's
    3. SR 1 140
    4. i7 990x
    5. LSI 9260 8i + 4 C400 SSD's, when they become available in RAID 0.
    6. EXTREME Sleeving!

    My sleeving abilities are good, but not good enough. Shazza hooked me up with Martin and this happened.............





    Just a teaser, but you get the idea. I do not have Martin's artistry in my hands but he was kind enough to send me a few pics. Once they arrive I will post all of them together in a family portrait, I cannot wait! Thanks Martin!!

    I am still waiting on a few parts to arrive and impatiently awaiting the release of the C400 SSD's. I was tempted to H20 my RAM, but since I have very little airflow in may case I may just do what I did in my last build and use the Corsair Fan, right. Who needs airflow with H20 cooling?

    Cheers!

    Yikes Many Snakes!

    In the words of Indiana Jones, Why does it have to be snakes?







    whoa almost bit me!







    My new little helper was not impressed.



    I took these pictures in natural light to show the true color. Nil's sleeving is outstanding and Martin's work maybe the best I have ever seen! The heat shrink is amazingly uniform and I could never come close to Martin's level. Highly recommended.
    The tear down begins this weekend, I think, still studying some additional options.

    Subscribing..

    Looking forward to see how you tackle this! I too am completely gutting and re-doing my tj07. I initially built it as my first WC project last year about this time. I'll be starting a new worklog for the build.

    Going to be making a huge order with DualBrain here in about a week. Damn exchange rate is killing me though. I'll be doing my cables myself, I figure, it will be good therapy for my shoulder (surgery this week for a rotator cuff tear).

    I'm a big fan of your work and will be following closely

    Thanks for the tip.
    I use Primochill too, I love it! I have some of their red and it's actually more of an orange than deep red though. I wasn't happy with it when I was doing my original red/black build.

    What size are you planning on doing? I have 10 ft of 1/2" ID 3/4" OD in my office that I'm not using.

    Actually, sleeving is relaxing but it is also very time consuming. Sorry to hear about your shoulder.

    I use 3/8 ID x 5/8 OD. I didn't like the color either so I am going clear, white and black.
