    Cheers Dudes!

    Even though I am ill the postie is not! Look what arrived today :) :) :D My cables from NZXT!
    The braid is a decent quality but the cables are black so you do not see any funky colours leaking through!!!!
    CHEERS NZXT and excuse my slightly lazy photography of said cables I do not have the energy to set up a soft box to stop the reflections etc

    Oh and I am not planning on keeping them like that... there is going to be some modding done to them too :)

    Once again thanks to both Fractal Design and NZXT

    I was giving you hints on how to manage your time. Pop some Nyquil and go surf Jab-Tech!:hehe:
    I have a friend who got into watercooling because he shops drunk. Poor bugger bought one of those sealed kits.

    Thanks oldnewby!

    Haha, well I have already bought 12 games on steam, 2 360 controllers a new monitor and now a new GPU this thing is expensive...

    Have just also ordered some sleeving but will be a while before I can do anything productive with it.

    Looking good, really want to see what you can do with this as I am interested in water-cooling my Define R2 aswell :D Although it would be the first time I water-cool a computer so I'm thinking of buying an Obsidian 800D instead since it seems to be much easier however not as much fun.

    But keep it up and get well soon! :D

    Thanks dude! I am going to be turning this silent beast into a CRAZY high powered monster :)

    The 800D is a good case for watercooling however look into a TJ07 as well!

    Hey all!

    I have another sponsor update :)
    I am going to be working with TM3 Connections a company who supply audiophiles with everything they need!
    They provide braiding too and are kind enough to send me enough braiding to sort this mod out!
    Now for the little amount of really ish modding I have managed lol... I have only really managed to mask stuff off and start marking it out.
    The front panel is going to have to have to be completely remodelled! The Fractal case has small lips on the fan holes which I am going to have to get rid of so I have marked out a 1cm border which will get rid of the lip as shown below :)

    Yeah, I would love to get the TJ07 but there are simply no resellers that has that case here in Sweden, which sucks.

    Cheers Raiden! I should be working on this again soon, I am starting to feel much better :)
