Sleeve each of the 24 lines on the power cord, .
That would take soooo much time for so little return.
Anyway, good looking rig so far.
I think it adds a nice effect but yeah its alot of work.

Even they didn't sleeve each wire individually! I think murderbox made one of the best aesthetic decisions by grouping the wires like they did. Doing each one separate would have started to look cluttered. Grouping them into small bundles keeps it cleaner.
What temperature do you bake the paint?
Agreed 100%. I HATE cables though... in every way, shape, or form, so I would have rather had no cables, than the murderbox cables, but I digress
I've never liked the look of any kind of sleevingeither: UV, "carbon fiber look", whatever. I think they all look pretty blah. I'm contemplating sleeving mine in a metal pipe or possibly flexible metal tubing (like the water lines running from the wall to a sink faucet, but hopefully closer to 3/4" or 1" ID) for a massive industrial look. I probably shouldn't ruin the surprise for my own worklog, but I'm really excited about what's going to happen when I start cutting my PSU wires.
Seems we're headed very similar places... though I may end up with 2 MCR-320s and a BIP II or MCR-220 internal, eventually. Looking very solid I'll be watching.
I'll be using a single BIP radiator, along with the all copper loop for cooling .
I'll also be tapping my mobo standoffs right into the plumbed line, and soldering them in place to ensure a watertight seal. I've been planning this for two years, but it's going to cost me well over 100$ for all the materials, ergo, It's on the backburner until I can scrape some cash up.
...seems I should've started at the beginning and paid a bit more attention to boot. Very interesting idea.
Reading back through, no mention I could see, but still a very interesting idea. Looking forward to it.
Very ingenious with the sleeving around the tubing, but it looks weird to me for some reason. I'm not taking away from the work you did on it at all mind you. I kind of looks like you maybe have a phase unit. What would an EL wire wrapped around the sleeving look like? Ideas: Check Me
I still Love LEDs & that'll be cool shooting straight up in the rig
the sleeved tubing look awesome, I can't wait to see your work finished
ps.: glad you got that thing with your mvda worked out.

So youve got 2 b4 temps or am i missing something
Haha i see u fixed it lol. And im looking foward to updates to. Are u ordering new parts or using what uve got?ahhhahahaha. Bastard
I don't know if you can get black dye, but it may be worth it!

Nice Job dude!
I went to read this thread today and my immediate thought was "Arcy has lost his damn mind! It's /purple/! With /sparkles/!"
And then I looked more closely. And I read. And I calmed.
not sure if that's the look you were going for, but it does look a bit like a phase cooler
+1 on the nice job - definitely well executed at every step.
BTW, thanks for the tips on baking paint.
subbing. maybe i can absorb a few things from someone with style and talent.
Wow, I was just thinking about sleeving my tubing. I did it to a piece of tube I had laying around the other day.
Yea, I was like, "WTF did he do now?" I read-on and was quite content and happy that it wasn't really his. You gotta do what the client wants though--its like that in every business...
