Paracord is to thin for my liking (Plus a PIA). I think IceModz uses a mix of HWT & TKG for their connectors. There wiring is one of the best(Copper plated). I'm not a fan of HWT but TKG has amazing quality.

 

I personally use JMT connectors & terminals. There only two places I know of that sells them.

I'd agree with you here MDPC-X is the best sleeving you can buy. I personally prefer the look of paracord even though it's being a pain in the rear to work with for me though. I got my own quality wire for my cables that i'm making as most of the companies give you mediocre wire. Gotta give props to icymodz for their connectors though.

IMO paracord looks the best. i have never had sleved cables on hand but from what i have seen in picrures and videos i like the look of it the best

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

Finally, The Matte version of the Vision Touch Table top unite have shipped out. For those keeping track, It took five months to get ahold of one.

 

 

Now I have one Matte version & one Glossy version.

wait for glossy to go out of stock and sell it for enough to pay for this machine lol

 heh xD 

 

For vision touch unit you will not see any until the PC is finished(I'm not opening the box since I don't want the unit covered in dust from tube cutting). Any device that lays on the outside of the PC will remain sealed until the very end(All my new cables are still sealed in the shipping boxes).

 

For more photos of build, I can add some. Allot of things right now are things that has been seen already (Fan cables, USB cables, PSU cables). It just takes time to build the cables. Since I don't have four or five different color wiring I have to come up more creative ways to figure out which cable is the starting point (Fan & USB cables). Since they get mixed up when sleeving them through.

Maybe, If I can going to try to get more fans so I can do push/pull setup Running them at 600 rpms). That might push it a few extra pages. Going to try not to spend any extra money If I can help it. Since I have everything I need right now.

Have no idea, I'm hoping to have everything done sometime in June. There been some days I should have worked on it but I started to watch Amazon video for like 4 hours instead.

 

There are other times that shipping holds me up since I don't have the part to build what's next.

I will not be able to post any photos until Comcast fixes my cable line. My connection keeps dying any time I try to download or upload anything larger then 2 mb.

I have a very long history with Comcast not working, That was mainly at my old house. The things I been told by there customer service reps were down right insane.

 

This was the first real issue I have had with comcast where I live now. Comcast is the only real option when it comes to good & fast internet service.

Anyone who going to be soldering, remember to pick up a Respirator with the proper filters. You don't want to be inhaling lead fumes.

or, you know, you use lead free stuff and just have decent ventilation

Lead is better to use for this situation, Lead Free requires more work & also requires a higher temperature. Most sleeving shop use the lead base soldering wire. Plus Lead free soldering is more expensive.
