Hi guys
the postman brought the cable combs today so got them fitted and the rear cable management sorted

 

[chewythefirst]

very nice man
I am ordering a good few exstention cables on Friday myself, i am getting the 24pin 8pin atx 6pin PCI and the shop i found does the front panel cable as well.

i have also ordered 5m of 1mm black nylon and i am going to give this a go instead of the plastic clips.

I went the lacing route last time round and using the same vid
thought I'd give the combs a go this time, they are def a lot quicker and easier to fit

thanks guys
I've been on here about 16 months now and learnt loads since doing my first rig.
Been busy today throwing all this cable in and started to put everything back together, one thing I have seriously under estimated is how much more room you need for sleeved cables than standard ones, its giving me a headache or two

But sleeved cables are so much neater!

All in all. I really like the route you've gone with your build. Only thing I can suggest you do next is to replace your side panel window and just have one giant window without the break which does sort of block a lot of the view but that's just from the pictures so it's probably different in real life.

I love the layout, the case mods, the purple, the PSU cover, the reservoir sleeve, in fact I love pretty much all of it!

.... but not the carbon vinyl overdose!!!

 

[dalewakelin]

[Squidlorock]

It does look the shiznay (As in awesome! )

 

[chewythefirst]

that is looking really good, the only thing and i know i already said it but the clips in my opinion are taking away from the look.

the 24 pin looks nice and neat but the GPU cables look off to me, its the way they are bending and how the clips are holding them.

dont gey me wrong and before the masses slate me, i think this is on of the best mods and best rigs i have seen. its just i am not liking how the clips look. sorry

Hi mate
I'm liking the cable combs but I'm not a 100% on the gpu cables
at first I wanted to run them one on top the other upward and out through the cable hole above the top card giving the gpu cables at top and data cables below,but it is just short on cable length
thought about running both down between the cards but the cable hole in the acrylic gets too tight and I didn't fancy ripping it all out again to widen it
and it would also leave the top of the hole empty
so unless I make up some custom length cables or remake that piece of acrylic I'm sort of suck with it
