Update : Wires, Sleeving, and Some Vinyl goodies

wow this build is almost done, but is it just me or do the final finishing touches seem to take the longest!

the time has come to tackle the wiring.

Anyone who has ever built in this case knows first hand the challenges with cable management. So for this build, like most of mine, i started fresh

i used UPC's 16 awg wire, original molex crimps and housings, Aegis sleeve , and cable combs. nothing but top notch stuff!

 first up i is the GPU wires. fortunately the MSI 660 only uses 1 6p so that was a quick and easy task. i crimped one side, installed the wire then ran the path i wanted it to go. Once i had the length i crimped the other end, rinse and repeat.

 



Same Process with the 8p cpu



Notice the 24p in that photo, it works but it wasnt as clean as i hoped. So i made a 2" "stubby" extension and then a proper 6" extension to finish it up. this keeps the business end looking as clean as possibly.

Once all the wires were measured and crimped it was time for sleeve!

The Aegis sleeve is awesome, its not too loose (mdpc) and not too tight (telios) plus it looks sooo good, Enjoy
















I also took this time to sleeve the Fans









My friend andrew over at v1tech just got a vinyl cutter so i sent him some fonts and my ideas and he cut them up! Installation was a breeze

first up was the evga i/0 plate, i removed the original logo and applied the cut out. (the green matches a lot better in person)





next is the powersupply! I did something similar to Perfectly Pink, and knew i wanted to add that little extra detail to this build. it turned out great

first i removed all the stickers from the psu, trimmed the transfer paper to fit. applied it



Peel



Profit





I think thats all i have for today, i still have some more cables to sleeve (sata, pump, i/os) install leds, fix the two tubes since the cables caused the res not to fit where planned, fill, leak test, drain, fill and final photos!

*Final Update before unveiling*

wow what a challenge it is to install everything in this little case! the front panel headers were the worst! i had to use a needle nose pliers to plug them in!

with that being said, everything in now installed tested, and i've already delivered the finished product back to the owner.

before i go ahead and post all the photos, i wanted to throw a disclaimer out there.

The coolant is not green, i know.  i used mayhems pastel green and its more of a gatoraid lemon lime color than green. i think i saw a thread a while back saying they needed an extra drop of blue to make it work. well i wish i would have known that before hand, but being is that i've already delivered it. (yes the owner knows) theres not much i can do.

with that being said i think overall this build turned out great! please look past the off fluid color and enjoy!







ill post the full shoot tommorow

thanks!
