Also got a sweet 120mm YSTech 130CFM... but that's ALL MINE! :)

Well I haven't thought much about names but I finally got the right sized FLEXO and some more heatshrink and got the PSU sleeved. Disassembled comp last night and will start in on cutting very soon. I don't have a ton of free time but I'll work on it as often as I can.
Here's a few pics of the sleeving job and the case in question. Will also be painting monitor, kb, mouse.

hi, if you are going to do the water and glitter between two pieces of acrylic.
for your computers sake and your use
weld-onto glue the actylic I don't know if you have ever glued acrylic before but if you want a solid bond that's water proof then that's how and only how your going to get it.
but a little trick for the bubbles in the side of your water capsule,
fill the capsule with tonic water, add some glitter, and put a few small raisins at the bottom of window, then seal it completely.
right before your eyes you'll have glitter dancing around the window for ever as long it is completely sealed.
the raisins and the tonic water react with bubbles and the added glitter just adds to the effect.
also for your glitter problem just get clear acrylic paint and use
cieling glitter, sprincle the glitter at case while spraying the clear.
the clear coat will act as aglue to hold glitter on the case them you can put more coats over top for depth if needed.
I'll check out the WELD-ON, I've been wondering what the best stuff would be for gluing plexi (never done it before). That raisins idea sounds cool! I don't know if I want raisins rotting away int he case though, will it really bubble forever? Very cool :)
Oh, and I finally did break down and bought some very fine glitter and clear gloss. I might try to sand in between coats, as my only problem with this method is having a bumpy finish - I want it nice and smooth.
Oh, and I picked up a bunch of pink paint too. Finally gave up and just bought a bunch of cans of the 3oz. stuff :(
ok if you decide to go with the water pocket window, what ever you do DON'T use silicon, go with the weld-on and make sure that when you buy the acrylic/plexi you buy the same for the glue.Quote:

it's a little confusing, but one weld-on glue will work for acrylic and another will work for plexi.
MAKE sure you get the right combo,
and yes the raisin thing, they won't rot if it's completely sealed.
they may not bubble forever but for a very long time,
WoW, the Power Supply looks real good. I have to take mine out and redo my Sleeves. I never used shrinkwrap just Elec. Tape. One of these days I will strip it all down and redo everything. lOL
Raisins Huh?? Guess Prunes wouldn't work..
Thanks TAZTG! It could have been a tad better, some of the heatshrink I used was too short. I can only find the right size in a combo pack, and there is only one tube I need in the pack. So it's like $3 for 6" of heatshrink :( If you can find the heatshrink it's really not that hard at all. I was expecting a big mess but it went pretty smooth.Quote:

Thanks also for the additional info web56n, I'll be sure to get the right combo.
Know anywhere good to order weld-on for cheap? I'll have to check what kind of plexi I have.
most local glass shops should know if they don't have it.
the best bet is to buy the weld-on glue and plexi from the same place, so when you do this and the glue cracks the plexi cause they gave you the wrong kind you can freak out on them for destroying your rig.
hopefuly that never happens, but if you get the glue from one place and the plexi from another and you don't have the right combo, yikes
don't mean to discourage you on this but it is very important.
Nice sleaving job on that thing :cool:
Don't forgot progress pics :)
Thanks, and I'll be updating pics as I make some progress. I painted the front bezel last week, but it has been so humid here lately that it's still tacky a week later :eek: I need to wait for a nice hot dry day to really get anythign done.
