Project: Caselabs M8

[| raVen |]

Just read through from start to finish. My thoughts as i went through were.
Oooh that looks nice...OhOh too much carbon fibre...Ahh others are commenting on the carbon fibre...He's put up a poll...Oh good the carbon fibres come off, wonder what he's gong to do with it now...Epic paint job I hope...Paint it Silver and put Samsung on the front to keep his mum happy.

Seriously though, I can see you're putting a lot of work into this. Gonna need an epic looming job on those cables for it not to look a mess.

Yes it had to much carbon fibre before...I know.
But well all of it from the front gone and will never come back most likely in any of my future builds(well maybe I will still put some inside just to make things looks more pretty). I can easily say that I'm bored of carbon now.
Yes other people was saying that is looks bad, and after couple of days of debate in my head I decided to remove it. I care about other people opinions( well not on all of them) , and as long as I will agree with them I will change something to make it look better. I'm not master in painting, and this case is to epic to screw it up with some silly done painting, I will leave it like it is now.
Yeah I'm trying to work hard on this project. I think that this is first one that I'm spending so much time with
Cable management shouldn't be that bad I already have couple of nice ideas how to make it look really nice and tidy
And today I was running into problems with paracord, especially white one, as not all of my cables that I done in white had exactly the same white color, some of them just were a bit darker, and I mean a really small difference, but its to visible for me, so just had to remove everything. But tonight I will order some sleeving from Nils, he's opening today at 8 I think.

BTW, yes I'm trying to keep my Mum happy.

You cannot rush the quality
Thank you I know that this was wright decision and I'm happy that I did it

I just placed my order I will have 40m of black and 30 of white and 7 meters of small heatshrink, I already have sata heatshrink from him.
Looking at that pictures I can say that color X should be really close to this what bitspower fittings looks like.

Thanks mate
Its still will take me some time to finish it, even due to the fact that I have to wait for sleeving about 2 weeks.
I want to have this system done really nice, and I'm not planning to rush with it

I'm glad you're not rushing it, it will turn out much better that way

Finally a little update

I removed those metal plates from mobo heatsink, and covered them with black carbon. Looks really nice and stealth.


Also I got some delivery from Nils


I'll try to work on some sleeving tonight, if I'll not fall a sleep( really tired after work )
