radodrill Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Good job man, that looks really good, only suggestion I would make is to zip tie the sleeve then put the shrink over the zip tie Bingo! Looks like out Reels a little anal about stuff just like me! He He! I'm gonna say the same thing in fact that's what I did for my sleeving; it looks better using smaller zip-ties and color doesn't matter much when it's under the heatshrink.

Guest Retratserif Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Awsome man. I am going to start my P180 Modding soon to fit a 240 BlackIce II and a 120 50mm thick (not sure brand). I use mostly asetek parts with 3/8" ID tubing. I would have upgraded to larger if Asetek didnt have 1/2" OD connectors. Not sure if I am going to paint it and all. If you could PM me with the exact paint types I would consider it, since I will be cutting a bit of the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! :nod: I will try the zip-tie under the heatshrink.....maybe redo cable I'm working on replacing the front mesh, don't care for the Cooler Master emblem. Not sure if I am going to paint it and all. If you could PM me with the exact paint types I would consider it, since I will be cutting a bit of the case. "I like to watch" Just some awesome pics in this thread. Very very impressive work and attention to detail. (I loved the shot of MNPCTech "U"-Channel vs Frozen CPU "C"-Channel molding.) Painting and cutting looked flawless. Need more pics. Have someone take a pic of yer badself with you next to the case. We bow to your uber nerdiness. Excellent Mod They haven't learned how to work the camera yet! They enjoy watching a case mod in action. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I wouldn't take the cable apart, it was more a suggestion along the lines of "Next time..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radodrill Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 As long as you have enough heatshrink you might as well redo them with ties under the heatshrink; but as reelfiles said it was mostly a suggestion for future improvement.

t_ski Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I see more cases in the background. Is that a Lian Li cube case or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mknwatt Posted January 11, 2008 Posted January 11, 2008 I see more cases in the background. Is that a Lian Li cube case or something? They're a few older cases. The cube is two CM Mystics joined together, this was the case I used before the 690. The other case (you can just see the bottom) is a Chenming, this was for my nF4 expert.

mknwatt Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 More Progress: Made another cable Thanks for the suggestion. I used 1/4” sleeving and 3/8” heat shrink. Redid the front mesh ….. no more cm emblem. Tracing the template onto the masking tape made it easy to cut the pattern out. I had to grind some off once I bent it to shape. Made a good match!
