neither will I, Facebook rubbish yet again, these competitions are pretty stale
can't blame a guy for being excited about braided cables!
True, I just don't hope they announce the winners at 9PM today

Well congratulations on picking somebody who dropped out of the competition

Took so long to get these pics up because it took this long to recieve them! Apparently this was an issue with Bitfenix rather than Vortez though. The cables themselves are very nice, exactly as said on the box really. Individually braided, though the back of my case is now bulging slightly from all the cables stuffed behind there!
On the bright side, in the box with the cables was a gaming magazine in german, and a very small bag of german haribo, so it was worth the wait!
That really does need an hour of your time to do a neater job
Yeah, I missed some dust there at the bottom
And the string's there because the GPU seemed to be sagging quite a bit from its own weight. It was probably ok like that, but I figured I'd give it some support anyway, and unfortunately bitfenix don't do any braided GPU supports, so string had to do instead. And I'm actually pretty pleased with how it is, especially compared with how it used to be!
The mess of cables at the bottom I can't do much with, though, there's just not enough room behind the back to squeeze more cable through. If I took everything apart and started again then I could probably get it looking slightly better, but nobody really looks at it anyway, and I'm lazy!
Righto, 2 apologies to start with. First the delay in posting the images and secondly the quality of the pictures. They really don't do the beauty of these cables justice. Sadly my other half broke the camera so I'm having to use the iphone for these....Anyway
1st pic, cables in their packaing with the delicious german haribo (excellent touch btw)
These beauties will be replacing the following multi-coloured mess.....
A quick word on the cables before i show you them in situ.
The cables are of excellent quality, very well put together and braided. They are also very 'strong' is the only word i can use to describe them. I actually tried to pull 1 of the sata cables out of its plug and i failed miserably!!
The only slight negative i could say about these, and it is only of the sata cables is that they aren't very flexible, probably just down to the sturdy construction. Not a problem if you are running them in a pretty much str8 line but noth my hdd's needed to do a bit of twisting and turning and it was a bit of a bugger to get them to play ball. That said, this wouldn't stop me buying more of these as and when i add another hdd.
Now the cables fitted.....and again please let me apologise for the poor picture quality-not to mention my poor effort at cable management!!
I actually have a bit of a green&blue theme going, not to everyone's liking I know but hey ho each to their own!!
On a final note, as i've said the pictures don't do the cables proper justice, especially the colour of them. These are a lovely bright, almost iridescent colour. In real life they almost glow under the green cold cathodes in my case.
In short if anyone is looking for a quality pre-braided cable or 2 with bright strong colours, then these are definitely for you.
