Welcome to the 3rd Installment of "How to void a PSU's 5 year Warranty"



Couple mobo pics





First 4 wires out of 28 sleeved





2 SATA cables sleeved



Test fitting mobo and HDD.



In order for any semblance of WM, i needed to extend the SATA power cable so that it would reach the top to bottom, then along and up the front since the drives will be in backwards. I also cut off all the extra wires i didnt need like the 6 pin GPU, 2nd molex power and the 2nd CPU power since this mobo only has a 4 pin conn not 8 like my DFI boards.



Using a CCFL tube to sleeve the 5 wires into 1/2" sleeving



Couple porn tests! (since i used all black sleeving, i opted to place black shrink on the ground wires and blue on the others)





You may wonder why i put the blue discs on the fans... and this is a Blue on Black mod right? Well the PSU is a Thermaltake, and their logo is red and gold, so that wouldnt fly. My wife being the crafty person she is, had some misc shapes made of the fun foam ive used in other builds, and they just happened to be in one of the packs. They fit so perfect that the exhaust fan has a small relief in the center of the frame for the logo sticker and the disc fit right in that like it was made for it!

Couple shots of the holes i made for the fans. My only real complaint about this case is that it has holes for 80 and 92mm fans in the back (not even close to having enough room to shoe horn a 120mm in there either :frown:), but 120mm in the front. Not too many people make 92mm fans, and almost no one makes a custom grill. Either way, i opted to not use grills in the back like some systems on MDPC.

Mind you, these are rough cut, ill use U-channel on them to trim it out.
