looks great mate. Red and black always looks good too!!

like the idea of braiding the watercooling pipe, gives it a really cool finish, espically every other cable is braided.

Might do that on my water build at chirstmas!!

go for it mate this is my first time braiding and its easier than i thought.
going to order 40m of braid on thursday
not sure wether to go all red or half red half black dont want it to look like dennis the menace.

also going to order a bunch of hardware with my parents cash for my birthday on saturday

Got my Rampage II Gene in today
Also sleeved the psu but i think im going to drop the braided tubing the plain black tube looks better IMO.
Still got a lot of cable management to do

Also got a XFX GTX 260 Black edition on its way

anyway heres a few pics

Looking more than a bit nice, love the braiding.

If forum rules permit can you tell me where you got it, (or throw a good hint perhaps) actually I don't think overclockers sell braiding so won't be a problem

Also some of the red looks slightly different to other bits, not sure if this is just the camera and lighting, or have you used different suppliers?

if the cable behind the braid is black then its generaly darker and if its a yellow or orange wire then the braid looks lighter i have found

type "chilled braid" into google first link dude its toms own stuff and its very good

hyperst · 31 Oct 2009 at 03:03

the braiding does really look good how you have done that, how long do you think you've spent on the braiding

Ricickle · 31 Oct 2009 at 10:36

Took me around 5 hours to do the psu and a pcie power cable
just google a brading guide theres loads out there

vidda · 31 Oct 2009 at 11:52

thought id post up a few pics since ive done so more work to this:

made a start on the cable managment but its still going to be a nightmare in this case.

Fangrill

got all this to tidy im going to have a hard time putting the sidepanel on.

all i need to do is sort out a cpu and it will be running on air.
then i just need to buy a gpu and NB block and a few more rotary fittings
