My Gold --- update: Light effects

[Azurite]

Im afraid i need some longer sata cables. Must meassure tomorrow to be sure though. Heres first vanilla sand sleeved sata cable. I really like it and it goes very well with the gold colour.

Edit: Have ordered som longer sata's with almost exact the lenght i need. Hopefully i get what i have ordered on wednesday. Got freeperiod now so its goodie.

Cpu loop is ready to be filled and leaktested.

I have tested the fans and im totally amazed how quiet the system is. I almost cant hear it when they are on 7-9v. I have 4 fans on left side that need to have a cable check. Theyt didnt come on but when i moved the cable they got on, so its just a connector who is lose or something.

I managed to take some pretty nice nightphotos. Some of the pics have only blue leds on while some of the others have blue and white on lowest brightness. The colour and brightness is almost true to reality so i am satisfied about capturing that.

Thanks all. I got a package from performance-pc's this morning. 10 amber leds 5mm (sent me wrong colour last order) and they also included a nice blue T-shirt. I would like to thank them for exellent service and support.

Now i can finnish the led making for "My Gold".

Edit: Going to pick up one more package from Nils. So tonight there will be some led making and more sleeving.

Been out of the loop a few days, as the house has been turned upside down for some renovations - all I can say is WOW - you have made so much progress, keep the updates coming.

 

[Azurite]

Thank you sheroo.

Recieved more mdpc vanilla sand sleeving today. Currently working on making some new wires for pcie, atx and eps. Will sleeve them after with no heatshrink

First crimp fail. It didnt bite correctly into the insulation.

Second crimp, success.

Heres the beatuifull vanilla sand sleeving

Cheers mates. Finnished the 24-pin extension. I made 4 new cables for it, so i can change it back to original when i need.

Just a testing cable

Atx Male pin. Same technique to crimp it as the female pinn

The bitfenix extension cables that are being replaced. As you can see the paracord is just crimped on to the insulation.

I dont use massive force when i take out the cables. Still a wire losened and the pin got stuck inside the housing. Managed to get it out of the housing and then crimped a new pinn on it and then heated/melted the paracord properly.

24-pinn done and ready for useage.

Need to make the 8-pinn ESP and 4x 6-pinn pcie also.

 

[Azurite]

8-pinn ESP ready

been MIA for a while and this was the first thing i checked getting back.

awesome progress, mate...everything looks amazing!

it's nice to see that the lighting in the desk isn't too bright

btw, that vanilla sleeving is just sex. perfect for your project

 

[Azurite]

Thanks iLikeGreeeen.

ATX, ESP and all of the 6-pin pcie cables are done. Im very happy about how they look, and also very satisfied i only ruined the first pin when i crimped.

Dang! This isn't engineering anymore. This already is an art. Well done, Sir!
