Hiding Wires?
My NZXT Phantom got delivered yesterday. I've added parts to my rig but never changed/added a mobo. My first failed attempt:
I had a Gigabyte 7970 oc coming this morning, when I opened my case, I realised I hadn't added the extension things (don't know what they are called) that you are supposed to screw the mobo into. I decided to tidy the case up a bit and an hour or so later:
It's not perfect but it's a hell of a lot better than the first attempt
Does anyone know if there's anything else I could do to hide the wires a bit better? I struggled to get the back of the case on tbh, I don't think it's quite right.
Cheers

extension things? you mean motherboard standoffs? surely you didn't just screw the motherboard to the case...... does it still work? if so, consider yourself very lucky tbh
the standoffs are usually a brass/copper color, and they should come with every case
As for the cable routing, it looks ok tbh, you could get old of an old PSU cover to further hide the cables from the psu to where they go behind the case but it's not essential

Yeah the standoffs and yeah I know I'm lucky lol.
I had a chance at work to laser cut and etch myself a new side window for the FT-02.
It's a shame the EK Res is hidden at the top behind the side panel. I wanted to lower it but couldn't think of a neat way to do it. I might look into cutting some acrylic but not sure if it would look too cluttered with the res visible anyway.

Looking good! Shame at school the laser cutter is always taken up by people doing coursework otherwise I think I'd do the same.

Looking good but you realise your ram is not in dual chan mode.

Those other pics in that build log thread are mostly other peoples mini P180s...not built by me but I always like to see them and mine is still going strong.
