sleeved tubing looks sick bro

Wow. I dont like the look of indiviudally braiding every PSU wire, but the hosing and stuff looks amazing.

24pin might look good braided too if it was broke to into groups of 4 or something instead of every wire.

yeah, I really like it :)
not really planning on sleeving the psu. Too time consuming but who knows, maybe I'll get a wild hair one day.

No GPU in the loop yet. Need to get my hands on a decent card and nickel waterblock for this rig.

Wish I was better at taking pictures, proper case lighting can be quite the bitch.

dude your pictures are stunning mate :) dont worry about that!

Maybe this can help bro. I like the monitor with a white screen idea in the thread posted below.

I used a fluorescent lamp with the flash off on my most recent mini itx build.

Fl;ourescent was always a nono in photography but that is all I use too.

Reflected light is key, gets it bright enough without getting glare spots.

Also photos can be brightened in software, so too dark is not necessarily bad, dark photos software lightened are how to get great pictures of ICs and the writing on them IMHO.

Hmmm really. I know there are alot of fluorescent photo lighting kits out there now. Maybe it all depends on the type and placement of them.

No I think it has more to do with the change to digital photography. I was not saying that no one should use it, just that it used to produce less than desirable effects.

My aunt was a professional photographer and my parents had a darkroom as a hobby in the 70/80s, and both told me that fluorescent lighting was not used for photography (actually found this out shooting video one time as too why... Fluorescent light actually flickers, it is not a steady glow like incandescent).

It does not seem to effect my stills however.. but might explain why I have to make sure to double and triple shoot everything to get that one great pic. (Aside from my over caffeinated hands and poor photography skills)

Considering my work lamp is at least 15 years old, I would assume the change is in the camera equipment (the light looks no different than work lights of 30 years ago. Ballast, bulbs, and starter).

IT is also possible that teh CCFLs used inthose cheap photokits are different. Higher flicker rate maybe.

Awesome pics and build OCM.....

nice info dude
i was wondering that too :thumbsup:

Thank you men!

Yep, I'm bored :)

Holding off on the EK Nickel Waterblock until the whole nickel flaking issue is resolved.

damn bro i just put some feet on my server as well :P

you need to get some gaming on man! can't wait you are 100% done it's gonna be magical!

Decided to do my own Feser One F1 UV Blue experiment.

Loop was originally running with Di-water and 4 drops of PT Nuke.

Flushed loop with tap water then flushed loop with 4 gallons of Di-water.

Drained all components then added little less than a liter of Feser One Premix to the loop. No additional additives.

Here are my results after only 1 week of the machine running 24/7 at stock clocks.

Ordered the wrong EK full cover waterblock. The EVGA GTX 460 EE card I have isn't reference so, me so stupe.

Epic fail on my part :argh:

Good thing Performance PC's came through. Told them about the mixup and they agreed to give me a for a full in store credit once returned. Now I have an EK 580 full cover block on the way. Should be here today or tomorrow so I can finally finish building this machine.

Good on Performance PC's:thumbsup:

Reference GTX 580 hot off the bench. Retired early from bointing duty, she has served us well.

Need to pickup an Asus Direct CUII to bench now....... (hint hint brothas :D)
