Every time I tear down my WC loop I hate myself for setting it up in the first place. I hate myself for lots of things I do in life; working, getting fat, ect..

Point is well taken though. I don't believe the effort or potential consequence is worth the clean looks

sorry....but that honestly has got to be one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard.

Some of the greatest mods have come from what people call the dumbest ideas. I mean... I wonder how the stone age computer enthusiast community reacted when the first guy goes, "Hey lets put water on my priceless IBM processor!" The reason I was tempted to do this is because I had seen this one guy solder the wires from the PSU to the underside of the mobo and let me tell you, his rig was like the cleanest I have ever seen in as long as I have been modding computers. It makes my best work look like a rat's nest. I do have to admit though, you have a very valid point and this is probably one of those ideas best left undone.

As for soldering the cables to the mobo, don't, as said before, you'll hate yourself when upgrade time comes round again!

I well probably be having an undergrad from UT airbrush it as his final project and simply sponsor the project. Nothing beats creative masterpieces from young minds at a cheap cost!

Ok..nudity it is!

lol @ the poll 9-0 for nudity

Well...good news guys! I found a local airbrush artist who will paint my case for me at $100-150 depending on how much I want done on it. Downside is I have to spend about $40 more on clear coat to protect the airbrushed exterior.

The stuff that I ordered from CD and Modder's Mart arrived!

What you see here is 10ft of UV Green sleeving, 4x Sans Ace 1011 120x38mm fans, 12x chrome fans, 4x black powder coated round mesh fan grills, and some anchors.

The chrome fans will be sand blasted with 800 grit sand and powder coated fluorescent green. The Sans Ace I have yet decided whether or not I will use. Now these powder coated mesh grills are genius. If you are wondering why they are special, it is because they are round so they fit perfectly in blowholes!

More parts to come:
2x Feser One UV Green coolant
1x Feser One Black/UV Blue coolant
1x Lamptron Green light controller
