    Update!

    Hello!

    Time for a small update again, it's been a lot of planning the recent week in order to get the wiring as clean as possible, has tested alot and also destroyed some GPU cables so waiting for new ones that I ordered.

    However i have manage to do get some done, I chose to re-draw the tubing around the CPU so I do not need the 90-degree fittings:

    I have also sleeved the CPU cable:

    Then I install three switches to turn off or on my leds in the case, one for the white leds at the top of the case, one for GPU leds and one for the blue leds.

    I also drilled holes for GPU cables through my plexi plate:

    Waiting for my new GPU cables to arrive, then sleeve them. Then it's about time to start up the PC.

    Great job! I think it looks better now. Keep it up!

    Shameless plug: If you want to look at another blue and white build you can look at ITX Architecture

    I would also appreciate some feedback.

    Didn't check out the whole log so unsure if you have a reason for it but you might want to take a look at the bends. They seem a bit wavy. Nice backplate

    Update!

    Hello!

    Now it's time for an update again. HI have finished the last parts in CAD, it is a SLIbridge and a splate that will be mounted on the side of the case. I have also installed two bulkheads in the case. Last but not least I have managed to get over some Bitspower 90 degree fittings, they look awesome so i will use them in my project.
    Some pictures:
