A little sneak peak on what's to come:
I've been busy sleeving while working on my project, and originally planned on using 'cable combs' to keep the cables nice and straight. I ordered a bunch of them in all different sizes, only to find that they are way too spaced out and look pretty crap imo. So I decided to lace/sew my cables instead, and while I'm not exactly brilliant at it, it's passable - and looks a whole lot better than before.
I originally tried to keep the 6pin and 8pin separate, but it's far easier to sew them together when there's more cables.
Not sure about how they curve off to the side… might have to redo them so they fold backwards instead.
That's it for today, I don't really have much time to work on this in the week but I should be able to make some progress tomorrow. Stay tuned.

beautiful case that
Original colour scheme

Thanks guys! I can't really see the hot pink theme catching on haha. :wiggle:
The inlet is the side where you can see 3 rings on the jet plate.

Sweet job on the lacing! Getting better and better with every update
Thanks! It doesn't take long to get the hang of lacing, and the results look so much cleaner than standard cables.
Some good news and some not so good news to report:
The good: I've finally got the last of my fittings! I now have everything I need to complete this project!
The not so good: I don't actually have time to do anything lol.. There's a final push at work for the end of the working year so lots of overtime over the coming weeks. I should be able to finish my cables on sunday, but wont have a decent camera for nearly 2 weeks.
I might be able to post some teasers from my phone camera though...

(bonus points for guessing what books are propping it up)
Is the top one Order of the Phoenix, and the bottom one The Deathly Hallows?

Has it been two weeks yet?
It feels like it's been much longer!
HURRY UP AND FINISH YOUR WORK
I've been doing little bits and pieces. I've finished the GPU cables as well as 8pin, SATA and MOLEX ones. Only one left is the 24 pin, which I still don't know where it's going to go…
I worked 72 hours last week and didn't really see any sun light lol. I will get some more pictures uploaded tomorrow though, and hopefully get ready to tube up in the next week or 2..

Been a while since an update - I haven't had much time to work on this over the past few weeks, but hopefully that's over now and I can start to get this project finished! I have managed to do little bits over the past weeks, mainly sorting out my cables - just the 24pin left once I find out where it's gonna go.
I did try out using some fishing line to lace the cables together, but it was too smooth and didn't grip on the paracord like the waxed nylon that I'm using.
Enough talking. Time for some pictures:
I originally made the 8pin go straight down towards the power supply before realising it would foul the tubing. I later redid it over a mete long to route it out of the way.
It's a little messy where the 2 SATA, the 8pin and the Molex cables meet in the corner:
Hopefully I'll be able to sort that out by sewing the cables together once everything is finalised.
Moving around to the front of the case, the SATA cables are pretty much out of sight. As will the SSDs once the outer aluminium case is installed.
Keep moving around to the front and the PCI power cables add a splash of colour to the otherwise monochrome canvas.
They stick out a bit at current, which means they will probably be touching the side panel once it's on.
You can also see the 8pin poking out at the top of the case:
The 24pin cable still needs to be done. I'm thinking of routing it in front of the motherboard down between the graphics cards and radiators. It might be a bit of a squeeze and make it rather difficult to fit the SATA cables, but it's the only place where it wont be crossing over any tubing.
That's it for this time, hopefully the next update won't take as long.

Quite like that!
Make the AX part of the PSU pink too
Not too sure about the GPU cables though, are they running down in a straight line?
I was thinking of covering the PSU up, but the pink AX sounds like a good idea..
Yeah I'm gonna change the PCI cables so they fold back on themselves at the bottom rather than turning to the side.
