    Well I'm on the third try to sleeve my power supply. I may need to order some more heat shrink. LOL Almost finished just 8 wires left then plug them all in. The hardest part I've found about doing the PSU is the wires are different diameters and lengths making it fairly hard to get things to lay properly. This time it's looking good enough to install. But it sure don't look like Lutro0 did it.

    It's much easier now I bought some cheat x2.5 reading glasses, I can see the little pins and prongs.
    Will post a pic or two later. For now my fingers just needed a break.

      il have to go to the store i don't like the way the multi-max goes not as precise as a rotary but for 15 buck i got to get a jobmate and save some headaches and time.

        I'm still amazed that a $15.00 Jobmate rotary tool can keep up with a $69.99 Dremel rotary tool! I've owned a couple of Jobmate screwdrivers and they didn't last long.

          I have cut up several cases thick and thin metal with the job mate rotary instead of a branded dremel. I actually burnt one out walked into Canadian tire and they replaced it.

            Agreed.

            I've had 2 Jobmate rotary tools now; and for $10 - $15, it's the best that money can buy...cuts through flesh pretty good too

                Wicked deal! I wonder if it can use the Dremel fittings too?

                      It's been a while since my last pics so here are a couple updates of how the build is progressing.
                      The coil of cables at the top of the case or ssensor cables that will be plugged in later. They are currently just up out of the way. You can see I've cut a large hole in the top of the case. This allows the dual bay res to be installed in the top two bays and still access the fill cap.

                      The loop flow will go.
                      Res - Top 240 Rad - North Bridge, South Bridge Block - CPU Block - Top Mofset Block - Top 360 Rad - Rear Mosfet Block - GPU Block - Bottom 240 Rad - Return to Res.

                      I have a fuild temp senor as the coolent exits the top 240 rad.
                      I have a fuild temp senor as the coolent enters the bottom 240 rad.
                      I have a flow meter sensor just befor the coolent enters the bottom 240 rad.
                      I have a thermale sensor on every block.
                      Bottom rad is not yet secured as I'm still doing the sleevingand cable management.

                                I was *almost* temped to put some wholes in the PCB on the motherboard
                                just so I could hide them better.

                                didn't of course... big chicken?
