So far I've finished the 8-pin EPS and Sata power cable. Took me about 2 hours each. The Sata one was a bit challenging. 

 

He's a picture of the Sata power cable next to the stock cable to show the drastic length difference. The custom lengths really clean up the build.

GPU cable done. All that's left to do is the 24pin.

Realized I never uploaded the final pics. Here are a few I took this past spring. I've sinced moved places and the tubing runs are a little more elegant (hidden behind my desk). There are a few minor things I've been meaning to finish like some fitting changes and painting the PCIe extender. Plus upgrading the SSD capacites. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
