bummer Alex. what will you use to replace this tube.

and having been near divorce court over this hobby, I been there too.
just make Her a really sick mod!

Thought I would post the pics of the tubing that cracked and caused the leak. The acrylic has become crazy brittle, it breaks in your hands. I must say though this is not acrylic tube with watercooling branding, it is generic tubing from mcmaster carr.

Is that newer peice at the top an unused one? Looks really hazy, surprised that happened with acrylic, at least it should be JUST acrylic I would assume.

Looks really good, I can't see the imperfections in your pictures, but the shroud I just made is also crooked with a bunch of bubbles, lol. I will probably re-wrap it.

Did you cut acrylic and then glue it to make the corner so sharp? Anyways, looks pretty good from here.

Thanks Necro! Using the cell phone camera so that helps with the imperfections not being seen. lol. I will probably wind up making a new one. I used a heat gun as I applied and that seem to help me push out all of my bubbles may be you could try that.


Actually I gotta confess that the the shroud is not actual acrylic, I wasn't up for the challenge of bending and cutting that material even though i have a nice sheet of it left over from a previous build.

It is actually 1/4inch foam board that i cut half way through, made a miter joint folded back and married with pins and glue. On the bright side the material is cheap and easy to work with as long as you can exacto in a straight line.

Looks good Alex! I have that same motherboard and block in my backup rig.

Thanks Bart!! I really like it, mine seems to be fairly marred by staining however I bought darker pastel fluid for it because I don't have the time or energy to take it apart.

Feeling real old these days man.

Put together a psu shroud this weekend. I found a nice one online but it spans the whole width of the case and for 60 bucks shipped.. "no thank you, ill try and make my own", I said. Only moderately happy with the results. One of the edges is a little crooked and and the vinyl has some imperfections on it so I might give it another go, but all in all not bad for a first attempt.

Woah nice build! I hadn't seen it as it was before my tenure on the forums. I quite like the light blue coolant, very tight build as well!

Thanks Necro

Just wait! I'm very excited about this one.

Alright guys, time to rebuild! The FP will be evolving just a tad from the 250D to its bigger brother the 350D. This change is mainly due to the fact that I i originally selected the 250D for the challenge and the glory, and while it turned our pretty OK and I had a great time building, I simply am not up for rebuilding in that small volume. The 250D is a great case but the 350D will give me a lot more flexibility to make a pretty build, it arrived the other day and I have already started to rebuild. Stay tuned for PRON!!

nice loop - literally

I looked back, I think you also had ambitions to put a loop into your loop.

I like the little twist. I do prefer a darker color coolant
But its your build so you choose..

Stay posted for it going darker Han!

Wow, some quality shots here! Good job!

Really neat. And I know now what it means -->> itx!

Thank you very much DAZ, I learned from the best.
I was brought to this fine community through your youtube videos.

Colour is cool, a little darker would be closer to sleeve. Very nice job on the tubing ![ATTACH=CONFIG]2397[/ATTACH]

Stay tuned OMG! is that a real thing in someones back yard?!?

Playing twist I see

haha. Later I had an idea to go even twistier but was limited by the material.

yeah i agree go darker to sleeve

love the loopyness of this build

Thanks for all the support Father! Will slowly dail up the color drop by drop. But definitely don't want to go darker than the sleeving.
