Thanks guys

Update time

Starting braiding.

It seems that, including Purple Rain, i've spent most of the last 6 months braiding cables !

Anyway, a couple of pics of the 24pin ATX power cable.

Close-up, shows the colour in more detail :

Onto the fans.

Phobya Nano-G 14 Silent Waterproof 1000rpm

Very lucky to pick up 3 of these on a members market, they were the exact ones i was going to use in this build.

^ Note, they are waterproof. I guess Phobya have seen my leak testing methods !

The colour is perfect, a darkish red.

Just need 2 more for the build.

The reservoir i'll be using is this beauty made by Lund.

But, to tie in with the colour theme i had it anodised a darkish red to match the rest.

More to follow, soon.

Thanks for popping in

don't like the look of the case, but it looks very spacious loads of room in it

Nice mrdbristol, I have subscribed, looking forward to seeing this progress.

wow.. nice braiding..

Do you mind me asking where you got it?

waynio · 11 Mar 2010 at 19:26

You're going too, I got invited to campus party europe as well but I'm not all that outgoing so had to think about it, still not gave my definate answer yet & know I need to asap, I guess if I was outgoing enough for events like that I wouldn't have got into modding & be buying cases like most people & probably be married with kids lol

.

Shame, because I know I'd have met many talented modders from all over europe & learned some new things & maybe even have some fun in the process as well as a little break from english weather :cool:

First time i've been to any sort of event like this, i'm not exactly a social animal either. Try it, its a break if nothing else

Drop me a pm if you decide to go

As GT said above - alway a pleasure to read / see what you are upto.
And 100% agree on not using a 800D.

Fully understand the time constraint issues (having them myself)
And getting a pro to do the cutting/colouring makes a world of differance to the finish quality and total build time.

This looks like it will be a nice little project to watch.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys, much appreciated

Another small update

The case is now in my grubby little hands

Black powder coated inners should be standard imo, especially when you have paid £250+ for the case.

Lian Li take note !! You do it on the other TYR range cases, why not this one ?

Anyway, some pics ;

Most of the bolts and fixings are also silver, so out with the spray can.

Easiest way for spraying bolts etc, is to thread them through a piece of corrugated cardboard. This keeps them upright and makes the job a whole lot easier to handle and move.

Here's the first batch;
