Well first of all I’ve stripped the case and have removed the front panel to allow me to sleeve the cables from the switches and LCD etc.
Here is a picture of the mass of cables:
The first thing I have to do is free all of the cables from their ties and measure the sleeving. I am going to do this in stages as to allow me to join individual cables into one big one (you’ll get what I mean when you see it). If I stuff up and cut a cable I have a whole new set along with a whole fascia. Yes I have two case fascias. On the first one the door hinge broke and NZXT sent me a whole new fascia free of charge. I am currently using the one NZXT sent me but am considering transferring the polished aluminium panels of the old fascia to the new one because they are shinier.
Here’s a picture of the two fascias together. (The one on the left is the older one)
I removed the Brushed aluminium panels to protect them from scratches as I sleeve the cables. I also removed the USB, Audio and Firewire card to help protect the circuit board from damage.
I then removed the Power LED and the HDD activity LED because these are the two I would be sleeving first.
Well that’s all I have for tonight. I will have more to show you tomorrow including the completed cable sleeving. Until Then...
Happy Modding.
