I know from painful experience that red water is pretty hard to achieve, you might be better off trying orange because that comes out quite red or maybe a mixture of red and orange dye.

I used a whole bottle of "red" but still came out with pink :(

not such a problem for me as I'm a raving queen but I'm sure you were going for red..

where can i host a video, recorded on my phone ? i can stick it on my PC when my brother gets back :D

im already planning to buy a cheapie 80 gig SATA drive, and mount it so you can see it ticking when you open the door on the front :D ( in the 5.25 bays )
although this would be a lot easier with a lappy HDD

Can you convert the format to any "normal" vid format? if so, then www.youtube.com is your best bet for vid sharing

Most phone saves vid format as .3gp and you tube is abit gay, occasionally it works for that format...

lol, when under uv light it glows ORANGE ! lol. i know it does look a bit pink, thats just Zerex really,
tried to get orange dye but everywhere is sold out :( this will do for now though. ans when the case side etc is on and the red cathodes are on it looks more red.

anyway, thats somethign i can sort out later
first on my list of priorities is the ourt side of the case ans soem decent RAM sinks for the GPU

cheers guys

Do you think that you will really need RAM sinks??

added an almost homeopathic amount of red food colouring ( although not advised to to line staining... but that really doesnt matter)
about a drop of this mixxed in an eye dropper of water, then a coule drops of that tipped the colour JUST over the /pink red baorderline... looks sweet now
