Designed, printed, and painted some cable pass-throughs. Man that is going to be a lot of PCIe cables. :oops:

Got the pump finally wedged in place and all tubing runs around it completed. This case is just way too small for WC IMO. Printed a simple stand that uses the 140mm fan mounting. Then decoupled the pump w/ some foam.

Can't find a pinout for my PSU anywhere so made one. Sucks not having a 1:1 PSU like the Silverstone's I've used for the last 12 years. :(

And now starting on working on the cabling. Ya! :cautious:
 
You're going to sleeve up to one side of the "plate" and then sleeve again internal to the case??? o_O

Now that's dedication!!!!!

edit: Ok, I think I get it now.... a single sleeve / wire but all of the wires will have to pass through the plate before you crimp the connectors on.

The stuff you do with cable management just hurts my brain. Straight up awesome Sir, awesome.

And I really like the tubing in this one. It that something you bought or did you sleeve the tubing? Or did you explain that already and I missed it...?

I guess not everyone was around when I explained it in 2012. :p

It is MDPC-X SATA sleeving. It can barely fit over 1/2OD tubing. And the sleeving fits under the compression rings on the fittings.
 
Nice work. Been awhile since I've seen sleeved tube. I showed someone your old build with the blue sleeving a little while ago.

Again went w/ a DIY RGB controller. Last time I just went w/ a single channel for just strips around the case. This time I am doing a 6 channel. ESP32 + a couple 3.3v to 5V logic shifters. Running WLED for FW again. Will need to design and print a simple case / mount for it.

And it works! Well at least the single channel I've tried so far. TBH they'll mostly just likely sit on white as this is a monochrome build.

Was going to do all black wiring. But didn't have enough so I bought a spool of MDPC-X Carbon-BTI.

Was going to do 50/50 split of it. But I found the black against it didn't look well. Going a more relaxed cabling job this time. A) because this isn't a 1:1 PSU like I'm use to, so it makes wiring so much harder. And B) I'm getting old and just don't have the patience. :p

From the front. Comb will be removed @ final product.

And the finished '24-pin' @ the PSU. Can't really get it better due to it not being 1:1. Hopefully it still works as I removed all double wires.
