The tubing pictured is Tygon R3603. It's lab grade technical tubing. It's a bit expensive weighing in at about $2 per foot.

Since I took those images, I have since replaced all of the tubing in my system with clearflex. It's significantly less expensive at about $1.20 per foot, and performs almost the same. I have noticed that clearflex has a 'memory' associated with bends, whereas Tygon does not, however.

One thing to consider is that I use a full 1/2" system, not a 3/8" system like most. My tubing is thus 1/2" ID 5/8" OD, which gives me significant wall thickness to deal with kinks and bends.

As for my drives, I just bought some industrial velcro, cut off the tabs from the bay covers, and velcroed the suckers onto the drive trays. Next I took some plastic replacement chair feet, cut them in half, and stuck them onto the inside of the drive bay cover over the button on each drive. Tap the bay cover, it pushes the button, out comes the hidden drive tray.

My way = 1 tap drive access
Your way = several clicks = slow. not to mention having to wait for windows explorer(sometimes) to open on a single processor system like mine is craptacular. talk about an annoying way to get a cdrom out =P

don't make the same mistake i did...go with the 8800 gtx because once u get the 8800 gts u'll just want to get the 8800 gtx right after and also get the biggest case u could afford and liquid cooling because once u get regular heatsinks u'll want liquid cooling

GRRR...TheMainLoki and 1aziz1 I hate u so much u don't even know and also do acrylic cases have any big downsides?

aZiZ1 · « **Reply #80 on:** June 29, 2007, 04:35:24 PM »

acrylic cases show scratches and alot of dust. i mean that is the way i interpreted it as i used to have a acrylic case. i love them. but if your cables arent organized and have a personal look, like you can c that mine has the way of blue and green and since that picture i have installed round cables and some more fans. but if you need help in what to choose give me a PM and il give you a chance to hear my opinion

I would if I had a program that would use my webcam properly. I have to use a third party program to take pics because Microsoft's webcam tool for THEIR LifeCam isn't working on my VISTA computer.

My case is straight up boring. Its a killer machine, overclocked to 3.4 ghz (highest without blowing the damn thing) Zalman CNPS9700 LED heatsink, damn sexy Radeon X1300 with CrossFire, a gig of ram, blah blah.

Anyway i need advice. A case that will show off my sexy gold plated cables and hot LED heatsink without breaking ye olde bank. Any suggestions? lets say somewhere areound 150 bucks max. And acrylic is okay by me.

Heres my older Thinkpad that I've painted yellow. PII 300MHz, 160MB ram, 6GB hd, cost 40 bucks.
