Re: Little Modded Antec
Wasn't a major mod, but it made something unique...

Re: Little Modded Antec
That's a nice touch to the case. Definitely gives it a unique look.

Re: Little Modded Antec
Added a new Corsair power supply, and tried my hand at some cable sleeving....

Re: Little Modded Antec
case looks like it came out well, and seems like it didn't take much effort either since it's all exterior!
as for the cabling, gotta learn sometime
i've not cabled sleeved myself but looks like the cabling itself is what looks bad (it looks like the sleeves are made for several wires/sleeve such as molex cabling), also what made you go with green for the sleeving color?

Re: Little Modded Antec
Thanks, man. It's not that hard, just time comsuming, especially if you make a mistake (had one "oops" and had to break out the soldering iron). I got some UV lights coming for it, and some new fans. Plus got a new hold down plate on its way for my new water block. When that happens, UV coolant will be runnin thru...Plus I like green ![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

Re: Little Modded Antec
As soon as can get some more sleeving, there will be more...gonna do the PCI cables, SATAs, and any others I can find.....the blue Sapphire logo on the 5770 might throw off the UV thing though ![Brick wall ](*,)](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif)

Re: Little Modded Antec
For our next installment, we're making a mounting bracket for the coolant reservoir...It'll cradle the res, and bolt directly to the HD cage, made from aluminum and a few bolts...Most work was done with a Dremel, except for the 2 large holes, which could've been done with the proper cutters (working in a machine shop has certain fringe benefits)...unfortunately, I haven't got the new radiator in yet, so the mounted photos will have to wait a couple days (the res has to be mounted before plumbing with tubing).
