2.5mm from a well known competitor, but I would assume any 2.5mm would do the trick. It's not just show no heatshrink, there is no heatshrink!

New 60mm Fractals turned up today to replaced the stock YS-Techs, obviously these are going to be re-braided white

And my new AC Ryan 120mm grille for the underside of the case where the radiator is going to be

Not a huge amount of progress, but finally my 114mm hole saw arrived, and as such I christened it with a nice hole in the base of the case, for the radiator!

The radiator on the other hand, got a bit of the PlastiCote treatment, and is now a much more fitting white

Next job is to fit the radiator and the fans, and then start the arduous task of wiring the thing up!

That white rad and fan combo looks really great!

Looks great so far!

That case looks great.

Not sure if it's a SX1 model as that seems to have an aluminium cover. Seen picturs of VX1 model that have the same glass cover.

Looking very nice

Are you going to be spraying the fan bodies up? Red perhaps, as the grey doesn't quite fit with the theme me thinks.

Great idea

Love it, braiding looks sweet

That case looks pretty huge for a "small" case lol

PSU cable braiding looks awesome, love how you sprayed the radiator white.

Sorry to be the barer of bad new but you shouldnt spray the rad fins it lowers heat exchange of the rad but does look very nice

It's only a very thin coat on the fins (so as to not lower airflow much). I had the fins masked, sprayed the body, then removed the masking and did the worlds thinnest coat of white (you can still see the black on the fins if you look closely).

That, and the 720be x3 runs pretty cold anyway, it's certainly not been hindered by the whiteness!
