Did you sleeve your own cables?

[ben dover kid]

looks good, bends aren't perfect. 

 

I also hate drive cages, especially when unused.

No i did not. I was not willing to take the plunge to do custom sleeving considering that it takes alot of experience for them to look good.

Where'd you get them from and were they pre-sleeved options or did you choose the color of each individual cable?

I got them from Ensourced Customs. The cables were not pre sleeved and I got to chose the color for each cable.

I would check the pump, it looks like its about to come out of the holder.

And as others have said, increase the RAM. Just get another set like the one you already have in it.

Unless you are really strict, so can various background processes and OS eat 4GB RAM easily.

Looks good man. Starting mine tomorrow. I am using Primochill Uv Green so I hope it looks something like this. If not I will drain it and buy this.

I think if you had something to light it up then it would add the cherry on top, but still a excellent job!

Thanks for the information. Looks like ram is next on my list.
