Acrylic Tubing Upgrade: First time bending.

Thanks again for the comments guys! Already planning the next upgrade (does it ever end!? Thinking of pulling out the 2 200mm fans, getting a dual 120 rad in and watercooling the 780ti.
The only problem this presents me with is part of the piping i have just bent is going to have to come out and after all that hard work it seems like a bit of a waste.
Now I could put another look in and run it from a 5.25 bay res. which would solve a lot of issues but add another £100-£250 onto the current upgrade price of about £200.


Definitely interested in your Matrix card mate, no idea how you PM people on here tho... :confused:
I have set up trust on my account so you should be able to drop me an email.

Looking good mate. I've just received the Monsoon full kit yesterday, I'm just waiting on the fittings, to make a start.
Good to see you making a go of it. My main it of advice, especially if you're bending over 3 axis is check and double check that the bend you are about to do is going to go the right way in your case. So many times I made a bend, held it up to the case and realised it was going up instead of down, or left instead of right. Went through about 3m of tubing to get it right.

Wow looks so much better, i might sound retarded but how did you actually like specifically find the angles and the lengths needed?
The kit comes with rulers and brackets so you can get the measurements over 3 axis. Check my pictures about half way down part 2 there is an example of using the rulers and brackets.
 
Hi there,

Not updated my log in awhile so I thought I'd share some pictures of some of my new toys. No new components for awhile now but i bought myself the ROG Swift, an M65 Mouse and K70 RGB Cherry Red keyboard also bought an arozzi gaming chair which is a real quality bit of kit.















And lastly the corsair board, absolutely fabulous piece of kit.





Thanks for looking

Dan
 
Just retired an aging gigabyte rubber dome with about 5 keys not working on it so the k70 is a real step up. Not sure about cherry reds though, they are a little light. Perhaps should have gone brown.

Hi, your rig looks AMAZING:D!!!!

I was wondering if you have any advice for a newbie working with acrylic as I have no idea how I'm going to bend the tube like you did to reach from the CPU to the GPU.

How did you get multiple bends on one tube and get it to fit?
