Hello everyone! It's been some time since I've posted here and I have another project that I'm working on that's quite the power house for a mini-ITX. Wanted to do full acrylic for this build so that includes both acrylic top blocks and tubing as well. Can't wait to show you guys the finished product!

Power Supply: Corsair AX1200i

Really high hopes for this build, however is a 1200 watt psu necessary surely the 860i would be around right for it?

Subbed! I love the D Frame. Especially the Mini, in fact, my build is based off of it. Just really wish I had the money to get that nice of components.

Got some sleeving done! I still don't like PET but can't deny that it looks good. 

-snip-

How much was that sleeving in total? I am thinking about getting new cables or some extensions.

Well I'm a professional sleever and I have a shop you can visit over at HexagonPC.com for pricing and the cables you'll be receiving.

I started cutting up the Acrylic tubing yesterday. It's starting to come to shape!

 

Don't mind the current setup, it's just testing what works and what doesn't. This current config doesn't.

Absolutely love this case. So much character. Coupled with your clean cable management, this is shaping up pretty well :D
