You're the one who's too kind Lady Fitz!
Btw, living in the desert sounds as a great excuse to experiment with water cooling, doesn't it?
I will be traveling to Phoenix on business next month, will be staying at the W on Camelback Rd. in Scottsdale.
Any advice on sightseeing or cool stuff I can do while there? I'll be spending almost a fortnight there, so your input would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,

Here are some of one we did for yet another musician early last week, but this one doesn't like playing with water or fancy cables.
I think it looks great. One of those cases when less is more.
Hope you like it,

Lessee... There is the Phoenix Zoo in nearby Papago Park and World Wildlife Zoo out west of Phoenix (this one is even better than the Phoenix Zoo). If you like shopping and/or night life, Old Town Scottsdale and Downtown Tempe are nearby. The whole area is lousy with museums; the hotel should have a rack with brochures on them and other places to go. The town of Cave Creek north of Scottsdale is a nice Western tourist trap. Sedona is about two hours north of Phoenix if you like hitting the touristy places. There are excellent scenic drives in the area especially Oak Creek Canyon. I like to drive up to Flagstaff (about three hours away; another place with cool places to visit including the observatory that discovered the former planet, Pluto) for lunch, then drive back through Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona for supper, then back to the valley.
Thanks a lot Lady Fitz!
Will report while I'm there and let you know what I'm up to.
Thanks a bunch, really.
John, you are absolutely right about the white tubes looking kind of "bare".
We just ordered some black and dark grey Primochill springs to put around the white tubing.
Will post some pics when we put something together with them.
Not sure about what you mean about the orange cables. You mean using gray instead to match the springs on the tubing?
That would actually look amazing!
Will try to find some dark gray braided cables to give it a try.
Great tip. Thanks a lot!

Well, these are the last ones I'll post for the time being, I don't think we have anything left which is worth posting.
I hope you've enjoyed my last posts and that I'm not boring you.
Just say when and I'll stop.
Thank you all for bearing with me.
Cheers,
J
Boring? Not hardly!
Yes mate the bunches of smal ones that come from the rear.
Now I am very pedantic when it comes to colour inside I am a blue / black soul and I even went to the trouble of making some cloth tape by spraying some dark material with semi matt black paint to wrap around the 24 pin connector, the front panel and PCi cables so that in my Ivy there is only black and blue apart from two red SATAs I kept for ID'ing the front dock drives. Tiny specs can be touched with some matt black or whatever colour nail varnish.
Overkill I guess you could call it but I just like it that way
Mind you yours are something else
