I went with the colors for two main reasons:

1) I'm didnt want to create a cliche build (green and black, red and black, blue and black) and wanted to be unique. I want people to remember my build. Also, I've always loved blue and yellow together.

2)My build was already 'blue-d' out, so adding a touch of yellow would be both cheap and make a noticeable difference in the overall theme.

 

And the cable sleeving? Oh.. the cable sleeving.. It took many hours. By the time I was done, my fingertips were raw. I broke one of the bins and had to solder another on.. it was a pain. Would not recommend unless you're a master of patience.

 

But thanks, man!  :D

 

Good reasons to me! The yellow looks nice with the blue, definitely. And with the black.  The yellow actually reminds me of banana ice-pops. lol

 

Hours? Damn! But your patience worked out great! The sleeving looks real good. :)

Awesome!

 

How were those revolver fittings? Wanted to try hard tubing on my next build.

 

Did you use any angle fittings? If you did, which ones?

I measured some, eyeballed some. I think when I started I was measuring it, then when I was bending some of the last pipes I just kinda sanded them down till the fit properly.

Awesome, seeing how yours turned out bending by hand gives me hope! Great build BTW and that waterblock is sexy!

I loved the fittings. They look great, no leaks on the first try.

 

After all the struggling I went through with these tubes, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're very confident in your handiwork. They were a major pain in the buns.

 

I didn't use any angle fittings. I wish i had purchased some 90o though. Getting some of those tight bends were also a major pain in the buns.

Clear!

Were they E22, Monsoon hardline? Or a generic hard acrylic tube from home depot?
