Jaysus Thor that's some machine. I was never much good at keeping a tidy house, but that takes the biscuit altogether.

Kind words man, I appreciate it.

Any time I put together a build, cable management is something I will spends hours at. I sometimes even do it a few times using up a load of cable ties and then figure out better ways for things to go and do it again, but this time it was actually straight forward.

The SATA cable routes were the thing that were the issue, but they worked out okay.

You'd want to see the job Hardwareversand do, lol, it's like the builder thinks he's working with Mala, squeezes them all together and sticks a cable tie around them.:rolleyes:

I've never had the patience for cable management. Next time I do a build, do you fancy sticking it together for me.

I have seen some god awful jobs, some where they actually covered the fan with cables.

I actually enjoy doing it, so any time you want it done. Just let me know.

I've updated my own rig and built a few others recently:

I am waiting on an amd part for the raystorm block before I fit watercooling to this one.


I built this one for my mate, he has made slight alterations to it recently


This one below looks a little untidy because of no braiding on the cables.

Love these chunky tubes, Might upsize my fittings on my next rebuild for these.

What size fittings are you using?

1/2" internal 3/4" external I prefer smaller tubing myself like on my other rig below as it looks much less cluttered. The other stuff below is 7/16" internal 5/8" external

Love it, but can I request some non instagram thumb photos from a distance so we can see what she looks like overall?

I just taught I would put up pics of the nzxt rig with the watercooling in it. The pictures dont do the liquid justice. Its awesome when its moving in the res and tubes. Top pic is when its not moving, bottom is when its moving.



This gives you an idea of what its like if you look in the res:
