Magic m8
Is that pastel red too?

Pgreenwo · 25 May 2014 at 20:34

Cheers- no it's my own mix I use white pastel with a bit of yellow dye and red after that. Wanted the Ferrari red!

NICE! Acrylic tubing is the only way!

Top job

so jealous! looks awesome

Thanks guys. Appreciated

Really thinking that 16mm OD acrylic tubing would look better. I just can't find any fittings I like - I hate the Monsoon chain guns and the EK fittings have a very poor finish. Will make the move when someone brings out some classy fittings.

Really clean and slick looking good job with the acrylic!

I used to think thinner tubing was king but It's really growing on me larger stuff,
Keep us updated if you find any fittings

No way, that's great.
I was thinking i'd have to bite the bullet with bitspower over cheaper fitting's
Just due to quality & look really

Completely agree. Don't know what it is but everything that they do just fits great and works!

Need to get rid of my redundant BP fittings at some point. I've got boxes full of the stuff

Pgreenwo assume you're UK based? what was the final cost of the case once everything was paid? assume you got taxed on it entering the country?

Hi

I got the sm8 drop in 120.4 for the top - 240 flex bay and a single extra + a accessory bar.

I got the case 3 days after dispatch

All in 350 including the 35 quid FedEx import tax

Baron C · 27 May 2014 at 15:15

Looks lush!

Mole. · 27 May 2014 at 16:00

Looks incredible mate, love how clean the PSU cover is really fits the case.
Will be interested to see how the 16mm tubing compares!

Cheers buddy, actually isn't as bad as I first thought when you compare it to the likes of a 900D
