Last thread about my TJ07 here, I promise!

As for the rad set up, link in my sig for mine. I managed to fit a sr-1 480 and rx240 in the bottom but it is a very tight fit and has messed my psu position up. If you run with the 480 with the inlet/outlet at the front of the case then I am pretty sure you can get your psu in the correct place.

Tooling wise, I also used that dremel on my tj07 (though without the flex hose bit) and it is ok, not briliant but ok. As for the sanding / polishing - maybe I am not experienced enough with a dremel but I still prefered to do the last bit of filing by hand.

I think i'll certainly get a slim rad if I do get another one.

What spraypaints did you use? I certainly no longer have the budget for powdercoating as I'm saving for 3D

I'll also be doing quite a bit of filing by hand

For my painting I just got some paint from halfords, grey acid etch primer and some satin black paint (I find matte black too grey.) As long as you make sure the parts of clean, quick sand, follow the instructions on the cans then you can get some really good results with rattle cans

Thanks. What exactly does primer do?

Greboth · 25 Jul 2011 at 14:00

Primer

Acid etch primer is good for bare aluminium as it helps even more with paint adhesion.

I'll have to look at my local DIY store and check what they have

Just to check, you can't mix aluminium into loop can you?

Need a hand with this block for my 8800GTX.
I'm planning to get an aquacomuter aquagrafx G80 for the 8800GTX and was wondering what metal it is made out of?

Thanks

damn cleeecooo you are spending a lot on watercooling

I'm thinking of getting the ek res too, and also switching out my ek fittings for some bitspower ones and getting a waterblock for my 460, and getting some orange coolant, as green really doesn't fit in with my orange and black theme

I blame you for my overspending

If I had bought your 460 I would have had less money to spend!!! Also, finding a block ould have been much much easier. I can't find a block for my 8800GTX that isn't aluminium :mad:

KiiYzOo · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:47

don't blame me, blame my dad

although it did mean that I got my d50

Cleeecooo · 25 Jul 2011 at 16:49

Is there any way of safely using aluminium in the loop with the nickel???

there is another way to reduce the costs btw, you could sleeve your psu with paracord, as it's £7.99 per 100 feet

But but but... The sleeving is beautiful!!!

I'll have a look at it. Thanks.

Really need to find a block for my 8800GTX otherwise I'll sell it.

paracord is tight weave and fabric, not sure if mdpc is fabric

So it's basically large fabric braid? Sound good.

Might get some in white

how big is it internally?

KiiYzOo · 25 Jul 2011 at 17:16

I think that they're 3.5mm

I think I'll use it for my cable management outside the computer as MDPC is just win!

KiiYzOo · 25 Jul 2011 at 17:19

there is a d5 in the mm for £40 btw

KiiYzOo · 25 Jul 2011 at 17:19

mdpc is also very expensive
