what about using right angled SATA cables?

Click to expand...

I could do but then id have to space them and put the connections side by side, id also have to buy 4 new sata cables.

Im going to get some cable braid for at least the fan cables, and a couple of extensions too so i can tidy it up a bit more.

Pics will of course follow.

Hey Dan shame to see you scrapped the Lian Li G70B build, did you just get fed up of the hiccups or were you just not convinced with the case?

I will be keeping an eye on this one as am looking forward to seeing it complete.

*Subscribed*

Got fed up of things going wrong for little gain, the case was great. Ill most likely watercool the just the CPU in this build, its easy and doesn't involve messing with 3 figure graphics cards!

Looks pretty good.. so far..

Just ordered some braid and heatshrink, decided to stick with a green theme to go with the green LED's.

Ive got 8mm for my PSU cables, ill braid 2 together, bit less messy, bit different and half the work. 4mm for fan cables and 10mm for sata cables, im not sure if ill do them yet but ill see how they look.

A few pics, ive changed to H50 around, it would fit with the pipes at the bottom but it bends the pipes a lot and i would'nt be happy with them at that angle. The pipes dont touch the top of the case now and that was causing i slight buzz before.

Ive got braiding and heat shrink! All but the 5mm heat shrink is adhesive lined so that will hold the braid in nicely.







My first ever attempt at braiding, managed to do the molex lead in about an hour. Its awkward the way the pins are connected, think this was the hardest cable to start with.

very nice work mate

Nice one, like the black and green look. I think braided cables look so much better but i bet i would mess up on doing it. looking forward to more updates on the build

Maybe its just me but the Corsair H50 is one fugly mofo. Has no place in an open sided case imo.

I do like the case though.

looking good, like the braid ? where did you get it from ? PM me where you got it from

if you could do the same for me that would be awesome as it looks great.


nice build

PM's have been sent

I can see where you're coming from with the H50, there's a few on here that dont like the look of them but they work well for the cost so i think i can put up with it for now.

Ive not had much time to continue with the braiding, ive done one Sata power cable but there is a few hours work left yet.

Found a bit of time over the weekend to continue braiding, got all but the graphics card power cables done, few pics.












The 24 pin ATX started off like this, after i connected it i realised id briaded the cables the wrong way, as im braiding 2 together this way made the braid twist and it looks crap.


So i changed it round and now it looks like this, much neater.

like!
if I ever have $200 to burn on a case I'm gonna get one of these!

hi, i am cable braiding atm and i was wondering how did you get bariding and heatshrink onto the middle section of wires between the two molex ??

With difficulty!

I remove the plastic bits and from the floppy power side i put a straw over the 2 cables and then folded the wires so the molex pins were pointing towards the straw then wedged the molex pins in the end of the straw, with the braid cut to size i melted the ends slightly to stop it fraying and slid it over the straw and the pins, then onto the middle bit of cable.

i think i get you, i had a lot of difficulty trying to work it out :S thanks
