last question... where the hell is the heat shrink ?
biggrin.gif
 
Ahh... so that's how you get the cable termination so clean. I like! I'll give your technique a try instead of me folding back sleeving over heatshrink.

Yes thats right
biggrin.gif
!just to keep in mind, you cant do this with regular pins ! they have to have long claps! And its hard as hell to do it aswell!

last question... where the hell is the heat shrink ?
biggrin.gif

i crimp the cables with the sleeve into the pin...

No heat shrink. He's crimping the pins directly over the wires and sleeving-paracord.

...
 
Now it's time for a little update, I think, a bit late as usual but I have had much to do now when you come back from home ...

Can the course anyway to say I got a pretty nice birthday celebration, and two packages from my sponsors:) I have also had time to strip the chassis on all parts and test fitted the reservoir a little, I will very shortly start modding process so you can keep up now ! Also has some Sleeving come to be made:)

What I have planned to do:

-Make the hole bigger on the PSU plate to make room for all the sleeved cables

-Sleeve the rest of all cables which is left to be sleeved

-Build radiator plate/holder

-Milling out a PSU SFX Raiser

and mutch more

I thank my sponsors Fractal Design Ooh Bits Power to help me with their products and that they showed great interest in my project!

Now comes a picture bomb ... and yes do not have access to the camera system when my brother borrowed it from me, but the pictures are taken with a newer digital camera yet, pictures are not good :/... aja enough talk here, you pictures ... was so good and enjoy!

We start with the package from fractal ... I got a Fractal Design Array R2 as I waited for ages on! You see, it also is also itself a Fractal Design Define XL, this is when the chassis my twin brother has been sponsored by his new watercoolingbuild

I wanted to check on with this button in case it can be modified or not, what I had in mind is to simply replace the blue LED with a white one
smile.gif
. which in this case seems to be possible!, I have hopse for the best because otherwise it will be replaced by a new one, simple as that ...

Tests the reservoir a little ...it fits, but some changes must be made on the reservoir mount so it can be moved as far up as possible

That's all for now ... I have had time to measure and test some of the reservoir will fit together with pump + top, etc., then I have found that my G1/4 "dual exteder Rotary fitting will not work properly and that I must have a pair of mini-extenders instead ... that just a few mm can do so much!

pictures on this comes tomorow !
 
Love the nylon braided cord,

I've been looking for ages for a braid like that as it's the closest I can see to the stuff Bitfenix use.

Never thought of using paracord though. I take it you just pull the fibres out from the inside?

Anyone know of a UK distributer for this stuff,
 
Awfully small case there, mate! Hope it turns out the way you want it instead of cramped, hot and noisy. You're doing wonderful so far! Not many brown-based builds around
wink.gif

I've been reading up on this idea as well, and on another forum got some help.

I was suggested this site for the paracord, and just the standard 4.5mm 3:1 ratio heatshrink.

! ahaa i see!

Yes just pull the threads out from the paracord but you need to cut in into pieces first

Every military/army stores have those

I know
biggrin.gif
! I hope so, the fans are very silent so it will be noisy at higest speed

Thank you dude ! I kow ;D

Great ! buy some !
 
Hello Guys!

Today I have not had time to do all that much, but it was anyway something when you still were tool-home ...

I felt I had to do something about the fans... not because the cable is ugly ... whis they are not...but to make it flow with the rest of the theme
wink.gif

After those two fans I had a closer lookt at the start button ...I may fix me a 1.8mm LED tomorrow and then i will sleeve those cables aswell.

4d2db5a2.jpg


While I am passing by to the shop tomorrow I'm also going to fix the cable hole on the PSU bracket and the reservoirholders aswell...I have to buy some ulist too to make the cablehole look tidy!

I was for some reason somebody idea and I was looking where we had left the drill, once I had found it and began to remove some rivets, it looked like this ...

c20e5efc.jpg


What I wanted with this was to create a backinlet, clean but nice
smile.gif
... Sure do, now I just need to fix more holes:)

Measured if it is possible to get there two pieces of 80mm fans ... and it worked!

Looks damn clean! ;D

When I got tired in my head, I sat around with BP stuff and played how it all would sit ... came to the conclusion that I must have a mini-extender or the pump will not be able to fit!

Q-Blocks are great to have the temp sensor input, etc.
smile.gif
will fix so that the fillport and the tempsensor will sit on the Qblock while it goes to the res, should work this way:)

Here's how it looks almost the entire package out ... no pump and miniextender course ...

this was it for this late night!
 
Looks great so far. One question, how did you get sponsored?

Thank you, thats a common question...i always says that you should look up on google for this, i have been makin a lot of projects and this is the first im searching for, i had godd stuff and they accepted me ...
 
Now I come with a small update to the people ... has not happened all that much since I have devoted myself to work!

But always do it anyway something on the side ... what I have managed to do until now is that I have made the hole for cables larger, short 8 mm at each end out of reservoir holders, and made it clear PSU for the test:), got a 8pin CPU connector out of Stefan, which I needed to get everything ready for that matter, the last thing to do at PSU will be to attach the sata connectors and solder back the fan and I'm ready to go for that matter, I must not forget to apply some thermal compound on the one cooler before fitting out of resentment when it needs it !

Now I've finally got some time left to make an update to the people:)

But before I show you something I want to throw up two pictures of Isoprypanolburken I got me away from Arthur, and something I bought my way home from work at Kjell & CO(swedish allround electronic store)

14c3b88e.jpg


71495a52.jpg


1.8mm 6-7000K Vwhite LED

2f5a6c77.jpg


What I did is that I have had time to finish the whole pump, what is done with it is;

-Soldered of the original cables

-Soldered on a new 3pin cable (complete with contact pins, etc.)

-Sleeve the cable

-Modded it with the POM-Top

-Tested it, and it worked great!

Work and finished result pictures, it is a bit dark when I was working around 2-3:00 in the morning ... then i would not wake everyone in the house so i used a desktoplamp.
