Looks really good. Your cable management is impressive. Just need a way to hide those red and yellow wires.

thnx m8!

unfortunately that xfx psu has too many and very long cables. thankfully the Raider is very cable-management friendly case.

I'm going to sleeve those red and yellow cables that's why I left it untied

EDIT : sorry for the double post but it doesn't allow me to post more than 4 pics per post.
 
Looking good !!

Nice add of the yellow cord for sleeving.

Do you plan on painting your vid card cooler, to remove the red?

I won't paint it cause I don't want to void the warranty. I will probably cover it with white or yellow vinyl.

Just read through this whole log.

Some very nice work on the painting.

Appreciating this is exactly how you want it, for my tastes I think the only things that stick out as breaking the theme of the build are the yellow highlights. I think i'd be tempted to paint the top fans white also, and perhaps lose the yellow braiding. Either that or get much more yellow into the interior to make it more of the theme.

But great work none the less.

thanx m8 for your kind words and of course for the ideas.
I think I like it more the way it is now but I'll consider it. maybe sleeving with yellow paracord 2x 6pin extensions (as soon as I find extensions) for the gpu will look better.
I also think that if I could find golden color paracord to match with the mobo it would be awesome. then I'd surely paint the yellow fans.

ps. it's u Mr Dubs form st?
 
Aye that's me, the same Mr Dubs. I'm with OC3D now and loving every minute.

Thanks for taking my comments in a positive way, as that's how they were intended. What is important is that you have it how you want it. If that's the case then infact it's perfect because it's modded how you want it.

BTW, love the pro photography shots at the end.
