    Finally got some time to work on this a bit more. Project isn't dead, just long. I decided to ditch the cable sleeving. The crimps were cutting right through the fiberglass and it wouldn't fit in the smaller headers. I'm going for more of a stealth look now. Trying to hide the cables altogether...

    Thanks for pointing that out! Just messed up my bb code. Well they were stock. There isn't much to them though. The only thing I did was remove the sleeving it came with and replaced the wires. They pull the temp off the metal of the fitting with a layer of insulation on the outside. I'm not...

    Better shot of the external Vive ports from the back Ah ha! Found another white header. Going to rip that apart and replace it Here's a shot comparing standard sleeving from MDPC on the sides with the fiberglass sleeving in the center. You can see here there's virtually no sheen with the...

    Got around to sleeving the power cables. DC passthough to Vive PWM power injection Looks nice plugged in Lighting power Vive and pump power Aquaero power More to come!

    Small update. Used a GPU header for three 12vdc lines. Two are for the pumps and one is for the internal Vive power. Staple trick

    Yeah, I learned that one the hard way. Thankfully had a dead fan I could steel from.

    Thanks! More to come soon. Gotta work up the motivation and tackle all this sleeving.

    Got in my 1000' of 18ga Molex headers came in. Going to do dye everything in one batch. I find it strange that everything is a standard size except the connector on the flow meter. Came out great! Heatshrink came in as well. Going to trimming excess wire and start sleeving tonight.

    Finally decided where I wanted to put the Aquaero. Just a rough placement here. Finished one of the internal USB jumpers. I'm having a hell of a time getting the crimps to hold on to the fiberglass tough. You can see it slipping out in the pic. I'll probably end up using heatshrink after...

    Finally got some time to work on this project again! Figured out the mounting for all my radiators. I also had to figure out another way to support the mid=plate since I cut the whole front out. The bottom radiator is suspended off the mid-plate. I'm trying to prevent drilling through the...

    Custom PCBs came in! They came out nice! Molex only came in white. But I?ve got a solution for that Woah. That turned out much better than I was expecting. I don?t think I?ll pay extra for black connectors again. Much cleaner than all those jumper wires. And it?s black...

    Next wave of parts came in! Close up of the pump assembly. I'm using 11 temperature sensors. One for the inlet and outlet of each radiator and pump assembly, and one off the reservoir to detect case ambient. Overkill, but it was relatively inexpensive to add and I'm curious of the...

    I guess the next thing I'll work is lighting. Since I don't know how long this project will take, I'm finishing everything I know won't upgrade out from under me. I'm making an illuminated mid-plate as well as a lower bottom plate. That's the plan anyway. We'll see how it goes. Drilled the holes...

    Thanks! Yeah, I tried that at first but they wouldn't budge. Once I got it hot with a soldering iron though, it pulled right through with pliers.
