Clean bends with SS tube,  that is an Art form by itself. 
 
Wonder how many yards of SS is in the scrap pile ?

Haha, lots of SCRAP pieces...ugh, but I'm learning!
 
I cut and bent the final piece of SS tubing yesterday. I really liked the challenge in using something different. I also like it's bright metallic finish. It doesn't absorb smudges, fingerprints, so maintenance it easy. The biggest advantage to using stainless for PC water cooling is it's corrosion resistant properties. It does require specialized tools that include a hacksaw with bi-metal cutting blade, hand files and deburr tool. You must deburr the edges of the tubing to avoid slicing into rubber o-rings for your compression fittings. It also requires a specialty bending tool, like a hand pipe or mandrel bender. I recommend the 600 series bender by Rigid Tool or Imperial brand tube benders, these are the lowest cost. Type of stainless tubing I used for my loop is T-304/304L, Seamless Tube in 0.5" x 0.035" x 0.43"
Tools & Supplies Used:
*RIGID 600 Series Tubing Bender
*Table Vise with Terry Cloth towel, to avoid scratching tubing.
*Micro Hand File
*Hacksaw with Bi-Metal Cutting Blade
*Table top grinder
*50 grit sand paper

Oh wow that case is beautiful.  I really really really LOVE the colors/inspiration for this build.

Thank you for watching and commenting! 
 
I also changed my mind about the UV Orange front grill, applied primer coat while debate about leaving it matte black? or painting it the GULF blue to match the case body?

Remember Mnpctech 120mm blow hole fan grill kit?....looks evocative a fuel filler cap ring, and will be mounted in the top window of the mastercase, http://mnpctech.com/coole.../mastercase-top-window

I thought I'd like the Matte Black, but think Gulf Blue would look better for the front honeycomb grill insert...

I agree with your decision to use the Gulf Blue.

Yes, agreed.. and carry over the striping to the grill
