    Now everything is just a giant mess and clump of cables and I cant be bothered tidying up.... maybe on the weekend.
    I really should have invested in a right angle fitting as this was the only way i could route the tubes without kinking. Going to try and source one of those pretty ek crossfire things aswell. Will fix when i change the tubing or coolant colour, haven''t decided yet but blood red coolant in translucent blue tubes didnt turn out as cool as i imagined it in my head. lol.

    My wife told my kids "Okay, dad's officially gone nuts" when I spent an entire evening just looking at it.

    A thing of beauty.

    A thing of beauty and you only put up one picture? Come on now, show us the goods.

    Apple trashcan or not, it is quite a feat.

    That looks awesome, how much do those run for? Isn't it $5k or so with the 12 core and those dual D700's? Regardless it really is a engineering feat on apple's part.

    Hello again, test fit number 2 after a powdercoat and acrylic tube bending session is done!



    I am going to re-paint the side doors, roof and front of the case. Basically because I want a perfect colour match with the fan modules, fan controller and temp readers, the powdercoated colour works well on the inside of the case but the exterior needs a better and different finish



    Oh and yeah there are a couple of cover up plates that will cover up whats under the motherboard tray, but those I could not be bothered to put in





    I have to redo the wiring for the temp readers, shorten cables and tidy the cabling up.



















    The rest of the pictures can be found on my imgur

    If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength
    of the materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density.

    In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat ass.

    I love the internals. Not a fan of the black ODD, seems out of place. Can't say I like the fan controller either but to each his own (last part might change some when the front is done)

    The system is unique, that's for sure!

    I'm going to paint the ODD white, the black front and the grey internals, it covers up the mess of wiring that is underneath it and will look pretty decent I think. The only problem I've had is disassembling the ODD unit, I haven't given it more than a brief try but I think I'll manage
