    More sleeving work

    This is what I did to solve the problems I had keeping the wires straight for my SATA power for the DVD unit

    [​IMG]

    I think I might reroute the SATA Data cable now aswell since I like the contrast against the white background...

    [​IMG]

    Sleeving done for the dual 8 pin connectors (CPU), maybe need to add lace it to keep the pattern consistent.

    Side view for the GPU power plugs.
    Can't tell with the pictures but wires are too bulky down at the midplate area so I might need to route each set of plugs different.
    With this routing the plug look as just one when looking from the side, like in this picture:

    [​IMG]

    Later I will post my other setup so you can tell me what you think.

    I've decided to keep the GPU power cables like this:

    Final version? What do you think?

    [​IMG]

    Bottom radiators are connected via bitspower fittings, no tubing...

    Big Teaser :D:D:D

    Indeed but I think it's worth every penny :D:D

    I have more stuff coming... I really want to have this build ready this month so just 15 days ahead and still a lot of work to do!

    BTW I can't see the video you posted :S

    Hello!
    I've sleeved the SATA cables, so time for new pictures.

    [​IMG]

    There you have a total of 7 SATA cables.
    4 are for the HDD's, 2 for SSD's and 1 for the DVD drive.

    [​IMG]

    My first option is to use this bitspower fittings as SLI link between the waterblocks.
    I decided to go paralel but I might change the bitspower fittings with the EK link if it looks better... I will have to wait when I test my loop before I decide which one I finally use.

    First real picture of how things are looking inside the Little Devil

    Bonus picture :blush::blush:

    I love how the DazMode guys wears an Aqua Computer shirt while reviewing EK products. Sends a kind of subtle, but definitive message to EK. ;)

    Yes KoSoVaR that is the method I used.

    The initial plan was to go at least 3 cards but the budget was blown long time ago and still ordering some other parts + fittings xD

    Thank you Angel, I really learned from the others like Lutro0 ;)

    lol I did not notice before... DazMode rocks xD

    Hello again!

    If you've been following this worklog then you will know that long time ago I asked for color scheme for my 24 pin...

    I'm liking this setup, what do you guys think?

    [​IMG]

    I've done some tests and this one seems to better fit the whole setup, just subtle vanilla touch instead of a lot of color change...

    Ideas? :sigh:

    A tad on the boring side. Since the case is white, how about just adding a single pair (top and bottom wire) in white?

    Update time!
    As I said on a early post I just finished the 24 pin sleeving.
    Like?

    I think It looks pretty :)


    Black VS White!

    I just created a POLL so you guys can vote, please help me decide :)

    I've been doing some test with white and black tubing and I would like to know what you guys think in order to make a final decision.

    I'm liking the black tubing option but still wanted to ask :)

    The problem I have with black tubing is that the wall is thinner than the black (even though both are Primochill Primoflex Pro...)

    Black VS White face to face...
    Which option you like the most? Thanks :)

    Ditto for the clear and gold fluid like mayhems. I haven't seen it in a rig yet but I have the white and no complaints.
