Good thread A7F!
I have pretty much the same components as you except for the custom WC!

I kept a lot of my old vinyl and bought a deck for £25 in GWO also a decent used phonobox phono preamp and have it running through some nice 2.0 amplified speakers. It sounds far better than spotify

I keep meaning to update but i feel it is a crime with these current 'toaster phone' pictures. I am buying a camera this weekend and will put up some pictures that do it justice.
Have been looking into bending Acrylic sheets for case modding using the heatgun, the same way i bent Acrylic tubing.
What has been done in the last few weeks are:
Rig overhaul: the 4770k and Z87 OC are now in the 540. My 8350 goes into the 650D, leaving my spare Crosshair board, block and 8150 up for sale so i can fund this project more!
So currently have two rigs in this room, 8 core fx and a 4770k.
Also i have finally spread my red throws over the sofa to cover up that horribly ugly gold on red embroidery.
Some basic cardboard folding skills with vinyl wrap has resulted in a small cover to hid extra rubber tubing i use to pull the reservoir out to drain loops quickly.
Orange braided cables have been fitted to replace the red.
Will be spray painting the SP120 rings orange(maybe uv orange?) this week
I will also try my best to design some sort of lit up glowey logo using this panel lighting (my cutting skills are terrible)
Will also buy, learn how to use a good camera to take pictures and videos. Hoping to do some watercooling videos as well, so give me some input of what you want to see (eg. like showing how snug hard tube fittings are) and i will try my best to sort some out
I have the next 9 days off, so i will get this update and looking prettier for sure!

Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labour
Great little setup you've got there.
I am also a culprit with awful looking potato photo's. Aside from finishing off these cables a good camera is the only thing stopping me putting up my finished rig.
So beat me to it and post up some great looking images and a video. I'll be waiting on updates

Just snagged a Sony Nex 5 with lens' for £180. Now i just have to learn how to use a camera, edit video...
Small Photo update so there are at least pictures of the new rig.
Will update the log properly this week once i get some more things done.

Haha thanks. Give me more than 10 mins with this thing and i might learn how to use it!
The phone literately picked up no florescents or UV without turning the lighting down, which is a shame because even with the lights on, the real view looks really colourful. With the lights down, the phone quality dropped dramatically and there was too much noise.
Will do a little Video tour when the PC is closer to completion, with more photo's!
Working on a thing to hide unwanted tubing and cables too.
Pictures were added to OP with a small description, so no need to keep scrolling the thread, all updates are put to OP. Also added a small picture preview at the top of OP, so you can see if i have changed anything and my latest picture on each PC and the HT room.
Thanks for the support guys.

How is this coming along mate?
Thanks Clockers!
Was waiting for a big update to add some external radiators. Was aiming to fit a 1080 on the back or in the desk but unfortunately i couldn't get a hold of one. Had some big plans but sale of a ton of fittings on MM was withdrawn, so am trying to piece together some stuff for a proper update.
Now the sales have fell through, i don't have much to add till i get a few days off. Might try and spray the 540 grill orange and stuff. Also a Daft punk, tron style logo on the cable/tubing cover at the bottom of my case.
Having a play with EL wire and it is a ton of fun! Will deffo have to figure out how to implement this stuff in my rig!
