    Only high-gloss polish left!

    Finished polishing the case with 17 hours of work the weekend right before Dreamhack. Felt so damn nice to finally carry the case out of the basement! Total 70 hours of grinding and polishing.

    Based on Corsair sleeved kit for RMi, I re-sleeved them and made everything custom lenght. Since every cable will be visible they must be perfect!

    I love what you did with the copper. Also, re-sleeving a standard kit to get the correct length is also nice to see, instead of the people who just hide away the extra length :)

    For a competition and or show pieces I agree, but for a home machine, experience has taught me it is sometime nice to have a a little slack that you can let in or out. Many because my home machine never stay the same for long.
