heya d,

How much was that black sleeving? Is it difficult or just time consuming? I only will need to do my front panel leads.

is that me you are talking about?

if yes then take a look here

americans actually gets the stuff cheaper than us EU guys i think lol

if you order the sleeve kit you have enough for a whole system imo, but do yourself a favor and order some accent color for you theme, maybe some red og blue or whatever you want, it really spices things up :toast:

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

Yeah, all black is getting a but boring

Reventon · Oct 11, 2010

I never understood sleeving each individual sleeve. I like how my Corsair is, all wires in one sleeve. Looks much better IMO. It's your build though, and I must say I still love it

.

Chicken Patty · Oct 11, 2010

Got a pic of your PSU? Would like to see it :toast:

Chicken Patty · Oct 13, 2010

Here are the Front Panel Connectors finished and routed. Starting to look realllllll good!

Cold Storm · Oct 13, 2010

I want to get into sleeving the extensions. I got the 24pin already, just need to add some red to it, and then I need to get the PCI-E ones and some shorter SATA Cables. The SATA cables will be sleeved too, I have the sleeve. I just need to get the shorter cables.

anything new or still same ol

Chicken Patty · Nov 24, 2010

Same

been caught up big time on other things...

Wrigleyvillain · Nov 24, 2010

Yeah it is looking good. The crazy mess of wires on the backside of mine is whats really keeping me from finishing so I really noticed the last above pic. Starting to wish I had a modular PSU.

It really helps sooo much having a modular PSU. I think Seasonic has some that are "FULLY' modular, including the 24pin...

Can I ask where you bought that thing? I went to a three video card setup and they need some more cooling. I know that's an old post but I'm nervous and that looks like a great way to pump some more air into trifire.

I don't think they make it anymore, I can't find it for sale anywhere.

other solution from Scythe

Scythe Kama Stay

Chicken Patty · Oct 24, 2011

Nice find and thank you. That looks like another very nice way to cool your cards.

Wrigleyvillain · Oct 24, 2011

Got CM's side window panel and some new tubing and fans and other odds and ends over the last few months. So mine too is pretty much finally "done" now too-just in time for BF3 wooo-and I'm pretty happy with it. Will take some pics soon.

Chicken Patty · Oct 24, 2011

Awesome bro, can't wait to see it.

Wrigleyvillain · Oct 24, 2011

Yeah my rear looks nothing like yours but I got the panel on easily enough which is what really counts. Not too many visible cables from the business side and all mostly black anyway (except for the glaring, ugly white and colored stripes of the FP connections...really nice job on yours. Need to at least sleeve in a single black but out of shrink at present).

Chicken Patty · Oct 24, 2011

The project got postponed, but I was on the right track. I just need to take care of my priorities first. Then I can resume.

Wrigleyvillain · Oct 24, 2011

Yeah I've had this case for like two years and just got everything together and hooked up for the first time lol.

The shiny plastic top drive bay cover was still in it's protective covering until last week.
