****Show Us The inside of your Case!****

looks ace :) whats the best way to go about doing it, do you do one at a time and put it back in the plug so you know youve got it in the right hole or mark them up somehow?

Yeah I did it one by one wasn't so bad. I cut the 24 pieces of sleeving already and 24 x 1cm sized shrink tube 1 for each of the ends. Unpinned the end you see in the case with a doubled over staple then slipped the sleeving over popped the shrink tube over the sleeving about half way then used a hair dryer to shrink it down then pinned it back in and pushed the shrink up into the slot.

I only took this one pic while doing it, as you can see I was lazy and only put shrink on the end of the extension you can see in the case as the rest is trapped between the motherboard tray and the motherboard so it will stay pretty sturdy.
Oh I singed the ends of the sleeving after I cut it also so it wont fray.
 
Today I did a little bit of cable management.....

I decided to back mount the hard drives so to help hide the cables. had to do abit of a custom mod to the hard drive bay in order for everything to fit, but the results were worth it, I forgot to take a photo of this :/

I also did a little casing as above....

I am going to do some more casing when I get chance....

Old pic from when I 1st put it together. There is only one ssd in there now, moved the other to my lappy.
 
How do you find those Xilence fans? mines seems to make a constant hum and is driving me mad as its the only part that makes any substantial noise?

I have some of them and find that they make an annoying hum when close to mesh. So I moved them and they are pretty quiet!

Looking good Ell ;)

Could you fabricate some kind of plastic shroud to cover it, much like the HAF X?

i.e. (from Google)

Yeah I thought about making something like that but I think I would prefer to get them sleeved in matching blue :D . I could do with a new PSU tbh.
 
is it just me or the outlet pipe from the ek res is bent way too much?

It was, I have since raised the res and that cured the problem.
Just didnt want to pull the thing from where it is to retake the photo.

Still if i ever do it again I think I will go with thiner pipes.
