Argh! what a nightmare the past week has been
There was a pretty serious fault in the house electrical circuit which meant getting out an electrician and also meant ripping up the floor boards to try and find the fault, expensive and time consuming.
I wanted to get started on the SSD enclosures which meant using a dremel but with the electrics tripping every few minutes I couldn't progress much
Damn life for getting in the way of my modding progress.
Anyways I did manage to sleeve the 24 pin and I've started painting the case.
The stock 24 pin, this picture was taken so I had a reference for the pin layout.
Some of the thinner wires came straight out of the pin and left the pin still in the connector
Nothing a drill and 2mm drill bit couldn't sort out though
a lot of high end PSU's now have double wires, meaning that two wires connect into one pin which makes them really differcult to sleeve and ugly, so to avoid the ugliness at the connector ends (where you'd see it) I cut the wires apart and soldered them back together in the middle of the wire, this part of the wire will be behind the motherboard tray out of sight.
A quick look at the 24 pin connected to the mobo, most of the 24 pin wont be visible as it'll go straight under the mobo and behind the mobo tray
I've been priming the case bits with etching primer....My ghetto 'washing line' to hang my case parts for painting using clamps and paracord.
I've decided to have the roof panel machine cut for a price of £25 rather than cut it myself as it's cheaper than a replacement panel and I know it'll look awesome. My design has been sent off
I'm pretty excited! just hope I measured everything correctly...
Thanks for looking.
