Route your motherboard connectors underneath the actual motherboard to clean it up a little mate Subbing to see how it goes

Appreciate it might be near the end of the month before I'm able to finish it, also the USB 3 Header If I try routeing it any other way it puts a little too much stress on the connector. But I really do appreciate the recommendation.

[Swindless]

Yeah USB 3 headers aren't all that flexible, But if you route things like front audio etc through the CPU cutout and under the motherboard you can cut down on the visible cable runs alot

Theres a little slot where the front audio connector is and I slid it through that as to not see the cable in the main part of the case. If you look at the 2nd picture you will see the cable going around the back :D . I feel like a mad scientist building my first full build.

While you have these parts, you should take the time practicing your cable management

Thats what I should be doing XD I have 300 cable ties that I could practice with, I like the look of the blue ties in the back of it.

That is true when I get it up and fully running atm it will have a 6870 and a 6850 crossfired, but when I get the money I will upgrade to a 7950 or one of the 9k series.

XD the back now isn't that neat, will have to take her down and redo everything when I get this cpu oc'd and burnt in.

Nice, followed the topic, I'm a fractal fanboy, so be cool to see how this turns out

[Swindless]

Hopefully sometime today I will get some pictures of her I don't know how crazy I am about the red led debug and orange led under the gpu and the orange accented start though.

[Swindless]

Hey guys, sorry for the delay on the pictures here you go.

 

 

 

I know it doesn't look that great, but once I get everything in it that I'm wanting to put in it then I will take it down and redo all the wires.

[Swindless]

GL with the build nice work!

I apologize for not getting many pictures during the build of it, I wanted to get everything in it and put together so I can test it. When ever I get the rest of the parts for it, I will redo the cables and everything.

[Swindless]

Looking good man!

About to post some pictures with some nice Silver and Blue extensions!!!!

[Swindless]

Updated some of the cables, still have a lot of work to do on it.

[Swindless]

GL with the build nice work!

Hopefully one day, I will be able to get all the parts soon. But for now shes pushing the best she can. Also the cable Extensions are AWESOME!
