sponsor bump

just wanted to drop an additional note for those companies that helped with the current project:
Gigabyte-motherboard- ITX H67 USB3, etc.
Crucial-RAM - DDR3 Tracer in Red - originally a 3X2Gb set for my X58 build, but now using 2X2Gb.
Danger Den-140mm Radiators, fittings, waterblocks of old, fluid, tubing and other stuff over the years
Hitachi-1TB drive-ok, so it's not Sata-6Mpbs, but the original, enterprise class, 64Mb cache 7200 rpm drives are all still going strong.
Intel-technically not a sponsor of the project, but my previous CPU was won in the raffle at a PDXLAN, so...they deserve some credit on that one.  :)
Logitech- what can I say about all my Logitech product support?  Keyboards, Mice, speakers, headsets, remote controls, the list goes on.  It started with the first G-15 (the Bath'leth I call it) and on through my current fave mouse the G-700.

I can't begin to count the cost/value of all the products provided, destroyed, modified, overclocked, painted, cut apart, and hotglued.  Thanks to all my Sponsors for helping with my destructive hobby!  ;)

Finally got the pump mounted.

It looks like a really odd place, but it will make some sense soon.

Port opening nearly done

I have a little more filing and finishing to get the lid to rest properly. But close.

Finally working on gpu

Sad time...but I had to suck it up and take snowblind apart. Mounting the gpu brace has been tricky but I think my solution will do three job.

Undercoating done

Looks pretty good to me. It will be pretty hard to see any of it though.

Undercoating done

Looks pretty good. Hard to get even coverage when you can't move you r target piece and it's a foot deep.

Case prep for install

Masking and more masking. Had to cover everything that I wanted to stay clean. Took a while but I got a pretty good setup for spraying the undercoating on the inside.
