Cool, can't wait to see the tubing when it gets completed.

When you use the screws, won't the paint chip off at the threads?

Im not painting the thread on all of them. If they get alite paint on its very thin and just for the looks. The only screwes im painting the thread on is the acrylic/140mmfans/filter screwes. But only 3-4mm of the end thread is used with a nut. The rest goes trough the acrylic, fan and filter(invicible almost)).

Fanscrewes with antivibration on:

Bought a soldering station today:

Dont know how mutch i will get done the two days i have off now. When i woke up today i was fealing a bit sick with slightly fever, headache and muscle ache. Il rest some and hopefully it goes away

Gonna be a shame to lose them - they were the best part of the build aside from the unit

Love having my afterwork coffe and read all the buildlog updates, for some reason I always end up checking yours first =P Can't wait to see the loop come to life!

A litle update. Decided to start flushing my rads this morning so my first rad is running with fresh cold water right now. Running them with hot water for 20min and then cold water for 1-2h. Got some destilled water also witch im boiling and run trough one time. There was this really industrial smell when i ran the first one with hot water, so i guess its good to flush them. Didnt notice any metal/dust coming out, but i guess there are particles coming out of it, and if i used a big fine filter we could see these particles.

The weather out is to bad for sanding and its been like that for the last week. Hope it can be a few days with no rain so i can sand the housing on the inside. Bought more white paint for the outside and 1l of black for the inside.

The weather in the U.K has been fantastic so far this week. Hopefully you get some awesome weather in the near future so you can start the painting process again. Looking forward to seeing the painted insides and completed exterior

Wish i had a big garage or a big workroom . Draging the tools out/back and cleaning the room after takes a large ammount of time..

Yeah its nice

*New* ordered one more Vertex 3 120gb so i can put them both in Raid0. I see many stores are now getting the Z77 MB's in stock. Will order the UD5 asap when one of my fav webstores gets it in sale. A few weeks with good progress and i think the housing will be ready. From what ive heard the 3770k will be launched in the end of April, so its good to have everything ready by then.

 

[yassarikhan786]

The vertex 3's should be immensely quick in raid

'New* Today i have ordered the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H Z77, OCZ Vertex 3 120gb and mass effect 3 game

Ive just finnished my third nightshift and i now have 3 days off, Will finnish off the sanding/painting of the housing, the hidden lightning and i also plan to paint the rest of the new fans i bought. Ive painted alot of screwes but i need to paint the heads on all the rad screwes also. Will make the last cut outs around the MB tray right now.

Ive been given the tray and hdd racks several coats of clear paint. Painted bolts/nuts for the acrylic in front, gold painted MB thumb screwes and some painted large cable clamps im planing to use for the tubing.

Will probably be back with more tonight.
