i'm sure you can get heatshrink big enough. whats the width of that tubing, i'll see if I can head to ARB electrical, they might have, more than likely they will have

when's the pink panther going to be lanable

Post by **KillerByte** » 07 Sep 2006, 14:35

did you remove the molex connectors or just get tubing big enough to go over the connectors

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 07 Sep 2006, 16:44

Molex: no they have been taped over.

You mean my case when it going to be lanable soon i hope.

in an earlier post, it almost looked as if the pipes had been split down the middle to allow the cables to fit inside.

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 07 Sep 2006, 19:12

ya thats right. Thats how you get the sleeving with a slit all the way, making it alot easier to put the cables in. Looks alright though. What you think

Samaya · Post by **Samaya** » 08 Sep 2006, 11:29

That sleeving looks really nice. And the sleeving is the same stuff you get at audio places to put all your cables into. It looks cool still and looks really neat in there.

You gett it for the trucks ans stuff. If you want i get get the name for you guys. This stuff is alot easier to work with and cheaper. But it ownly comes in black. You have to spray the stuff. Which i am going to do.

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 08 Sep 2006, 15:56

Cupis · Post by **Cupis** » 08 Sep 2006, 16:00

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 08 Sep 2006, 18:21

Bobendren · Post by **Bobendren** » 08 Sep 2006, 19:55

You can get shiny looking heatshrink from Ron Tomlin. It's right at the end of Gale Street...very dodgy area, but all these places are.

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 08 Sep 2006, 20:52

ok cool but i will stick with my make shift

Those who are in durbs check that place out. "Ron Tomlin"

Cupis · Post by **Cupis** » 09 Sep 2006, 09:02

lol ... ya that masking tape looks fine to me though doob... although i am not a huge modder myself but loks fine to me

Molean · Post by **Molean** » 09 Sep 2006, 09:08

Yeah nothing wrong with it, as long as you use it correctly and don't go overboard with it.

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 09 Sep 2006, 12:12

Thanks guys. I agree with Molean as long as you dont over do it it can look good if done with patience.

Modding takes time. Thing like this mustn't be rushed because thats when problems occur.

Hopefully tomorrrow i can respray my case. Just need to make one more hole on the back panel where the gfx card ends for an extraction fan. Gets pretty warm in the corner. And then to paint.

Hey guys i am back with an update.

I got blades or should i say a whole set from my uncle. So here we are check it out. I have gone through quiet alot of blades. So would snap and others would just wear out.

Here is the kit: Fragam

gr8 work man, keep it up

DoOb · Post by **DoOb** » 12 Sep 2006, 19:12

O thanks for the replys guys and especially Dae.
From you that is a compliment. Ya but i had some difficulty with the blaes they kept on snapping because i would go to far in and they would jerk and then snap.

It took me a good 45mins hey maybe more. Because of the blades. I went through to many if i might add. Kept having to put a new one on.

And the old pc cover i used was abit thinker than i expected. The next one i cut out will be with alli sheet.

Thanks again guys. Will be cutting the next one tomorrow if i have time. But will need to buy more blades for my uncle now. Now that i broke alot when doing this
