Its .060" thick Stainless Steel and the holes have a diameter of .125". Not your regular modders mesh by any means. A bit more difficult to work with. Pulled it out of the scrap bin at workOriginally Posted by n00b 0f l337

What type of sleeving is that? It looks like fabric. Where did you get it? if you don't mind me asking.
Its 1/2" high density nylon weave sleeving from PPCS.
"High density nylon weave sleeving's fabric-like softness and flexibility hide surprisingly tough specifications. The high coverage sleeving meets or exceeds military specifications MIL-I-47203 and MIL-S-47053. NM is highly resistant to abrasion, cuts, common automotive and marine chemicals, UV damage and vibration. It will not rot or retain moisture."

Making a few trim pieces for the hdd cage and drive bays out of scrap.
Excellent!

OC Maximus, that is really sweet case and even more sweeter build.
I`m doing almost identical build... but it includes even more radiator POWERRRR... GTX360&240 with GTs@1850.
Roufly 1700W (~1850rpm and Delta 15) of cooling power in a compact sized case...
And I have no idea what hardware I`m going to use... BD or SB, mATX sized motherboard of course.
But SSD is "must have" part. There is one tiny hickup... no summerjob and short on money. So build is kind of stuck for now...
Phtography equipment for now: Nikon D5000 & 50mm f/1.8G
Decided to do my own Feser One F1 UV Blue experiment.
Loop was originally running with Di-water and 4 drops of PT Nuke.
Flushed loop with tap water then flushed loop with 4 gallons of Di-water.
Drained all components then added a liter of Feser One Premix to the loop. No additional additives.
i7 2600k @ default clocks and water temp from 22c-27c, here are my results after 7 days:
Going back to Di-Water and PT Nuke.

i lol'd
beautiful case...will be used for my gf, with my "old" hardware...
Quite simply an amazing project, everything appears to be done in a brilliant fashion - the best part for me is either the sleeved tubes or the top pannel that looks like it really is OEM! I own this case myself and i was about to go looking for a top like that untill i saw that you made it... I feel heartbroken
Thanks to all for the kind comments.
Hardware Update
GPU: Nvidia GTX 580

Ordered the wrong EK full cover waterblock. The EVGA GTX 460 EE card I have isn't reference so, me so stupe.
Epic fail on my part
Good thing Performance PC's came through. Told them about the mixup and they agreed to give me a full in store credit once returned. Now I have an EK 580 full cover block on the way. Should be here today or tomorrow so I can finally finish building this machine.
Good on Performance PC's

You want a waterblock for the EVGA GTX 460 you have shown above right??
If so then you would just need the normal waterblock as the card is a Reference design, I have the same card and am using a normal EK Reference design waterblock, have a look at my Lian Li V600 worklog and you will see.
The regular EVGA GTX 460 is reference.
The EE is non-reference.

Either way, the 460 EK block would not mount at all due to cap arrangement on this pbc. Maybe I got picked up the wrong EK 460 block for this card, I donno. Sooo, I've bumped up to the 580 which can only be a good thing anyway

If you want a nice blue color in your system, why not go with Mayhem Dyes? I ran that 4 months before I did the first cleaning, and all I noticed was a bit of staining (nothing a quick wipe couldn't remove).

Thats a very wise suggestion
Mick and I have been pming back and forth. I should have some of his dyes in hand for review very soon.
