Wow, that's strange because I didn't have any 3/8in. barbs! Those are the same 1/2in. barbs RAID shipped me! Strange...:dontknow:

Believe me.... I wouldn't have been able to fit my 3.8" ID tubing onto them if they were 1/2".
But thanks anyway man!

It took me a while to read through all in your thread but your getting some great advice and you're doing an excellent job Parker. I think I'm going to do some Rattlecan work too.
I think the all orange thing is overkill though. Have you ever seen the Pic thread for WC at XS they're up to 289 pages. You can get some great ideas there too.
I've used the swifty res before it was great your gonna love it. Make sure you get it up high, higher than all else is best. I'd say even if o/s the box.
Keep of the good work and....

Hey thanks!

I'm not painting the inside of the case Orange if thats what you mean.
Or are you talking about the orange fans?

I've looked though about 200 pages of the XS watercooled gallery
Thanks!

The rad is at the top of the case already

I was thinking if you used Orange in or out of the case in quantity it would be overkill the really cool feature of the fans is the color a contrast would highlight that IMHO Maybe a black case with some orange pin stripping, it would be really cool if UV reactive too.
Yeah I saw that the Rad's on top and you are cramped for space. I'll be thinking about it and let you know if I think of something. Have you come up with the brackets yet for the HDD's?

Doing a pin stripping would be cool.... I'll sleep on it.

As for the HD brackets, I've got them designed in my head. When I get to that dock, of this crazy ocean boat ride, I'll make them....

Great work so far Parker! You're getting excellent tips and links from the rest of us. I think the black with orange pin-striping would look real cool. Please do consider it.

As for names, stay away from Nemesis. It's been taken by Monarch (went out of business) for a series of top end gaming systems. Scored a 9/Kicka** from MaxPC, I believe. Sunkist however sounds cool.

Get 'er done!

Here's my vote:
Have orange pinstripes come out from the front fan so that they have a certain angle coming off the fan like those cartoon sketched pictures of the sun, and then have the pinstripes all go a common direction, (back?) once it hits the side or top panels.

Just a thought.

Sunkist would be cool if you really went for the black and orange theme though.
Painting the inside of the case orange, and all the hardware, brackets, and mounting places, (optical stuff) black and have the outside black with orange trim/pinstriping could look cool too..
Just thoughts, good luck man, i can't wait for more pictures! I love the clean and simple mods that pull together to make one awesome looking case, like this one

They always turn out the best.

Great looking mod, can't wait for the finish pictures.
