yeah it is opaque. Currently I have no use for it. But I wanna get a Antec 900 and paint the inside black and the outside white and use that window on it. Or maybe the other way around and do black outside and white inside. Huh, first I should finish my Rocketfish mod, then start my tech bench, then maybe start thinking about my next next mod

Thanks for all the kind words, guys!

I'm hoping to get the components into the case in the next day or so. Hopefully this weekend I'll get the radiator bracket fabbed up so I can actually fit the side of the case on.

Looks good so far. Your components are actually a lot like mine, foldslikepaper. I have a black painted 900 with the same rad, same fans, etc., etc.. Still working out the final rad mounting, as it's semi-recessed in the top.

This is Nick BTW. Clint gave me the link to this thread.

Hah, craziness. I remember Clint mentioning you had a liquid cooled comp. The 360mm rad mounting in a 900 seems tough. You trying to stay completely internal?

Another idea would be to mount a 240mm rad in the front of the case like this guy: http://www.overclock.net/water-cooli...-internal.html

BTW, welcome to overclock.net! It'll eat your soul....or at least your free time.

Great work, looks really clean. I always liked the black and white look.

It makes me sad looking at my case

Yeah, I'm 50% internal. I'd like it to be 100% eventually.

I hope it doesn't eat my soul, there's little left after the other 3 computer forums I browse.

I wouldn't be sad as long as it doesn't say e-machines or something along those lines

Or if it was cardboard...

P.S. the tubing itself is actually danger den white 3/8". I stretched it over 1/2" fittings (the pump was a royal PITA!) so I'm not too worried about not using clamps. I bought some feser black dye but i'm not sure if i'm even going to use it. I'm not planning on UV lighting, so i'm sort of meh about the idea of dye.

I'm located in Monroeville but Pittsburgh is about a 20 min drive away. But either way the tubing looks good.

@nkresho - (not to hijack) I don't know what you're saying, but that cardboard pc is sick!

I like that white tubing and black paint job, along with the clear acrylic res. Nice job, especially for your first mod!
I think you're right to hold off on the black dye. Clear fluid would be cool, or if you wanted to really make it stick out, you could put some neon color in there (I vote for blue!) After all the only really visible place for the fluid is the res, and potentially the blocks.
