Update: I am currently working on a article or more like a compilation of information & data that I can find in the internet regarding plasticizers & how different tubing compares. Once I am done with it, I will ask mayhems permission if its ok to share it out to the public since most of the information comes from him. My only objective is to educate the users to go for quality tubing as it will save them time & maintenance effort and also to give a proper explanation on what its all about & why it might not be a concern to you.

Its almost done 80%? lol, and some editing here & there as my grammar isnt the best since english wasn't excatly my first language tongue.gif

I sleeved using MDPC sleeving & I find it way better than colortrail sleeving in quality wise. Colortrail is quite good too & most importantly cheap but MDPC is much easier to sleeve but too expensive lol. I almost used up all my sata sleevings already for the internal I/O cables such as usb cables, etc. Need to get more for the sata cables. I am a little OCD on stuff like these, I know you dont really need to sleeve it but thats just how I roll. Maybe I am a perfectionist?

So yesterday I was sleeving the switch 810 front I/O cables & I used up most of the sata sleeving which was meant only for the sata cable. Sadly its enough to sleeve 1 sata cable only so now I got to order more.

I am using MDPC sleeving btw and the quality is top notch. Applied a little super glue to the sleeving & cable so that it will not come out no matter how hard I pull it. I had bad experience with previous sleeving I did on 24pin cables so this time I will be adding super glue to give that stronger hold.

I plan to go for blood red colour to match the ROG theme.

Just experimenting with how much dye I need.

user posted image user posted image

user posted image user posted image

I only added 1 drop red & 1 drop blue but the liquid turned straight away to dark purple. This means the red ratio must be more than blue.

user posted image

Sadly I was too confident & added lots of red & 1-3 drops of blue straight away into the loop. It straight away turned to purple. Now I got to drain the whole liquid & flush it with distilled water & get the ratio right. Learned my lesson lol, then I mixed the dye in a seprate 1.5 bottle first & started filling the loop from the bottle.

user posted image user posted image

I got the colour that I need, the ratio I used was around 20drops of red & half a drop of blue. I drop the blue into a small glass of distilled water & slowly fill the water into the 20drops of red water. Used around half a glass so approximately only half a drop of blue is required. Upper part red looks fantastic but the luminous panel kinda make the red looks yellow/orange at the bottom part.

Ignore the cable mess, I am playing around with leds. Apperantly the 3mm & 5mm leds I bought was wrong, they are not giving constant light. The led is have the "pulse effect" blinks & dims, blinks & dims etc. This may be nice for some people but I dont really like it so I got to find the correct ones now haha.

I did some red touch up today, just to highlight more red colour in my build since its pretty dark atm. Sanding the pci bracket is a pain in the ass I tell you, wished I had some paint stripper lol.

Here is the optical bay cover. Its a temporary cover I think. I haven't decide yet should I make a big ass ROG logo at here or just mount ssd over here. Oh & yeah, I painted some screws hehe, looks nice isn't it...

user posted image

Initially I was thinking to make a luminous panel to display the ROG logo in white + red like how kier did with his build, but then I am thinking if I were to get SSD then where should I mount it. You know you gotta "show off" if you are using SSD right. So I am still deciding. Sorry for this blurry picture, lazy to adjust the camera ISO haha

Also kustom pcs is out of lamptron CW611. Noooooo!! Gotta wait for them to restock D:<

yup, will be getting my tools maybe this week. I thought maybe can use my dad tools and save cost but I was wrong...china tools can throw in the dustbin laugh.gif

Will see if the new tool can crimp properly or not otherwise will be getting some 18awg pins. Also will be getting my acrylic panels this week. Then I can start playing around with leds smile.gif

that crimping tool is trash. you need to invest on a better crimp tool. crimping 16awg contactor to 18awg wire is do-able, i do it all the time. just need to make a few adjustment. need lots of patience, trial and error. good luck.
