    Haven't had much time lately but I did get a chance to paint the drive bays. I was going to pull them out and do it, but the rivets at the top seemed one of a kind. wasn't sure I would be able to find something to work for that. So i just taped everything up and painted in the case which turned out fine.



    Also got most of the rest of the parts I ordered.

    Started work on the top panel which will hold the rad in place. Hopefully finish that all up on tomorrow. Not sure if I am going to sand the aluminum piece that's going on top or to paint it. Also had time to cable a few more of the many fans I have now.

    That's going well.

    Are you going to use the neoprene on the tube?

    So I got it mostly up and running... and then I found out the rad has a hole. So i will have to either fix the small pin hole. Or... buy a new one. Ill have a better look tomorrow. The current setup for wires and such are just temporary. So a bit more wire sleeving and the rad solution and im back off to the races. In the meantime I have made a nice command center in my media room

    So I did all of my sleeving, I now have alot of respect for people that have done it! It is very time consuming but so worth it for how it looks!

    Heres a few quick pics of some of the finished cables.







    And the dvd drive mounted in the bottom. I also made a door on the side panel for the drive. Ill get to that later regarding pics.
