Update!!!

The end is almost in sight. Recent weeks i've done a lot on the Alienware Aurora R4
Because the sleeving didnt go easy with the large connector I used extensions. It is certainly not MDPC sleeve, but it's not too bad

Lower GPU power connected

And another

One more

And the last one

Some straightening and pulling

Looks nice

24 pins also some shapening

You've probably saw some pictures pass by with the the tubes, but here everything is connected. This time with 12/10mm tubing
Finally I found them with the perfect size (thanks E22 Nate). Only thing to do is to file a little edge off the tubes just like the crystal links.

Was a lot of work, but here one pic of the other side finished lol

Time to fill her up and leak testing. Optical drive removed and fill the bayres.

After some noise...it became quit

And then it was dark ...
Lights on please!!!

Oww almost forgot, the midplate: I've got the whole plate illuminated using a green ccfl bar for one half.
And the other half (left) I've used a glowpad. The PSU cage would otherwise cause a dark spot ... not now

And power on!!!. Because the side panel is off, 3 white LEDs are shining at the top, which shows the internal

Leds off

Default color is green, but all original color options are possible

Front is looking very nice

And lights back on. Some pictures with daylight and the panels installed

Still some minor work to be done, such as the Nvidia GPU sticker on the cover, acrylic window and so on. Next time Cheers!

Update!!!

This is it ... he's finished.
Last work is done and now only the final photo shoot. Then he (temporarily) returns to Alienware.
For the demo room and events ... so maybe you'll see it again live somewhere

Window was one of the last things that must be done, so I have adjusted the original cover a bit more unnecessary plastic removed

Cut a piece of acrylic.

And installed

The vinyl stickers were in and looks very nice. They gave my some more pieces to try it out. Letterop Advertising thank you very much for this.

Applied and tested the light

And the Alienware Aurora ALX-XL connected

Crysis 3 installed

Last update will be the final photo shoot and maybe a nice vid ... until then!
