Nice. Hard to see from the pics but is the clear SSD mount floating off the PSU cover?
Looks really good and you certainly put the effort in so a nice reward
Yes. It's actually sitting on the screws that go into the SSD itself, but that's the look I was aiming for.

Thanks guys!!
A bit off, I know, but the front area just looked so bare I had to put something up there.

Honestly I tried to make them straight but I didn't cut the wires right. Either way I'm happy how it turned out. After it is finished, I don't think straight wires would've looked right.
Thanks dude!
Thanks mate!
That SSD mount was a bear. Literally made it a dozen times. Had to scrap the original plan of bending it due to space. But I had to put something in the front area, it just looked so plain.
Thanks dude!
Thanks man!
Thanks a bunch man.
Thank you all. I know I have responded generically to the thread, but I wanted to take the time to thank each of you personally, as your support means a ton to me, and TBH I couldn't have done some of the stuff without your input!

That looks really nice man, a proper job!
What did you use for the cable lacing? I am struggling to find a nice cord to do it with.

I used 1mm waxed cotton for my lacing as per Alpenwassers lacing guide and it's perfect for the job.

I'd go his route. I used regular thread and it was a pain, a royal pain. And it tries to come undone a lot.

For anyone still following my build log of Rescue 1, I will be adding some updated photos in the very near future. It turns out the 1 of my 2 6970s did in fact die, else XFX thought it unsalvageable and easier to issue a replacement. Since the card was used in as crossfire config, they also opted to replace my second (perfectly working) 6970 at no charge. HUGE kudos to XFX, their customer support is astonishing! That being said, these cards are way more power friendly that my 6970s, requiring a lone 6-pin power connector each as opposed to the 8-pin + 6-pin the 6970s used. So once I receive the second card, I will be pulling the system apart to replace those, and sort out why a few of my accent LEDs in the front panel have gone dark.
I also intend to update the battle station setup picture, as I have custom built a wall mounted desk, relocated the system to my basement, and will be making some aesthetic changes to the setup when I pull the PC apart. (mostly cable management etc.
