I have now finished the 8Pin EPS cable and have moved onto the 24Pin. The only cable I am worried about is the two 6 pin cables as they are passthrough cables and will involve me doing a bit of cable splicing...

The E22 cable clips turned up as well and I have added them to the cables as I am building them, makes things a lot more manageable!

The Case tracking info has arrived. The package was sent out on the 19th and will take about a week to get here. However NCase has upgrade a few peoples postage and I am hoping mine has been too...

They still have stock of the case currently. They reckon they will only have stock for another couple of weeks the way sales are going...

Okay. here are some case pictures! Hope you like them! Its a lovelly little case! Absolute fingerprint magnet, the amount of times I had to clean this before taking a photo was insane! (maybe pizza isnt a good food to eat while building ;) ) The build quality of this case is insane though! It feels super high end, very reminiscent of my Caselabs! The finish on the case is very much a Lian li style and it is simply beautiful! Everything is tightly compacted into this case to make the most out of it! I bought the one with the slim loading optical drive, so there is a little cut out at the front for it!
