cable_zpsbf230c57.jpg

Sata cable, cheating on this one, bought already sleeved but put white heat shrink

cable-2_zpsbc3157d0.jpg

24 pins, I like the white, put white heat shrink on all white cable, like that white is pure white

Molex, double wire is not easy

cable-4_zps11350087.jpg

CPU 8 pins



paint: armor, Aquaero faceplate, some fittings, fan ect...

and bad news, need to redo my 24 pins and 8 pins, need to do a custom cable,

Thanks everyone

See 'Snef' > Insta grin ;)

Not tooooo sure on the white so far though, if I'm honest. Makes it look more white and gold than sandy.

yes, you're right, pretty similar to a Gold Color
that's why I named it "Sand of God"

but when I started planning, I choose the sleeving first and found all others things around
and the color name of sleeving is Yellow sand

the color name of paint (ring on fan) is Bauhaus gold

but on my side I saw more a "yellow school bus"

Fair enough then! Still think it looks sexy :)
