It'd make me have to go pee a lot :wtf:

Are you planning on putting red dye in the water? Having it red probably wouldn't look that good in the res but it'd look great in the internal tubes.

CyberDruid · Jul 15, 2009

I'm not planning on doing anything but moving onto the next build. This one is packed ready to ship out. The owner is doing the HW installation and he's going to use PrimoChill Blood Red in the loop. That and red lighting is going to be RED red.

kyle2020 · Jul 15, 2009

Just hope he uses enough dye so it doesnt run pink. Hopefully it wont stain the reservoir too.

Kovoet · Jul 15, 2009

Man that is looking so good and some awesome detailing.

well im glad you said that becuase i always imagined WCooling as being the quiet option

Anyways i think if i got down this route ill be PM'ing you a few to ask for the right res/pump... if not pump / res welded together options

hv43082 · Jul 16, 2009

Very nice. If I have $$$ to splurge on case mod, you would definitely be my builder.

CyberDruid · Jul 16, 2009

Aw shucks.

Well TBH I am glad to have that done. The shop is a disaster...It'll take a full day to get it back to normal. Plus with the weekend up I want to do some outdoor activitizing wit mah yoots...

Waiting on some labels to get emailed and then on to the next adventure.

Cuzza · Jul 16, 2009

I see you've been busy! That res is very cool. no modding for me, been too busy working on my new car

CyberDruid · Jul 16, 2009

Case and stuff has shipped and should arrive tomorrow afternoon. The client was excited and sprung for overnight delivery...and overpaid me.

Is this love I am feeling?

Looking forward to his pics and vids.

Cold Storm · Jul 16, 2009

Glad to hear that its all said and done Cd! The case looks amazing and I know the guy is going to be jumping up and down like a little kid when it arrives at his door step.

CyberDruid · Jul 16, 2009

First thing that case is going to do is LAN baby...It ought to be stirring a buzz. I gotta get some big vinyl logos cut so the next LAN box can do some advertising.

Great news from Lamptron. UPS should be delivering the lighting today.

Now if I had held to my Friday Deadline I'd have them in the case...so no fault on Lamptron. Just to show my appreciation I'll come up with some interesting way to show the lighting at work tonight in the shop.

tzitzibp · Jul 16, 2009

so many great ideas...*envious*....the res looks UNfuckingREAL!!!

:respect:

Dont know about the guy getting this, but I AM jumping up and down! I need to start modding something!

CyberDruid · Jul 16, 2009

Well getting PC enthusiasts enthusiastic is my yob.

I received the box of Red Goodness from Lamptron and now must get off my ass and clean up enough to have a look at what they sent.

CyberDruid · Jul 17, 2009

Imageshack is being wierd so I only get this gallery with Thumbnail code...I dunno. Made a little sign out of a piece of scrap 1/4" acrylic and etched Lamptron's logo into it. Then stuck together a quick base and slipped one of the flexible LED lighting strips into the base and viola

Lamptron Lighting Vid

Last Look at the Antec 1200 Mod

MKmods · Jul 17, 2009

Huge thanks on the lighting tut :respect:

CyberDruid · Jul 17, 2009

I decided to screw up a perfectly good sign and painted it with some Crustoleum Satin black to demonstate another wierd effect. I just painted the back and three edges and a three sided border around the logo...waiting for paint to dry but I think it'll look even more red with the black background. Would've been easier to use black shelf lining paper or something

Paint is totally snarled up on the backside but looks good on the front. Whaddya gonna do...I was trying to go too fast for the conditions.
