(':rolleyes:') Know what you mean,but the upper is hard to hide..,if Icould shave the ends of the plastic so they fit in the rail it's attached to would be great..Or very top of case,but not much light shines down...UMMM..Thanks ROADKILL

It's clean, good work and it seems all white, i'd go with chrome drives enclosures but not cheap silver colour, i mean chrome or like wink.gif

I worked with that case before, it is hell trying to hide wires, sharp eh?


Well tuck the 20pin beside the hdd rack area, that will reduce some clutter

do you have a pic with the covers off?

If you can't hide em just sleeve every last one and use that type of theme. I just started working on my new Lian Li rig. It will basically have wires running everywhere (Sleeved of course wink.gif ) I'm almost finished with my LED Power box which will let me hook up 10 LED's (all seperate) and 4 CCFL's. I used the male and female mini stereo plugs to hook everything up so I can take stuff out or move it out of the way if I need to. So ya, I will have wires everywhere biggrin.gif

wink.gif Hey,looks great so far,but how do you feel about power supply at bottom with the heat rising to other components..AT top is that vent or see thru hole,or for fan...All my cables are sleeved ,I just need to arrange them better,,The blue ones are Ultra X-Connect wires from PS and their hard to hide,the one thing I like about them is that they unplug at hardware end or power supply end..I think the ones I use to power the NEONS with are getting tucked away in the back..Keep us updated on your progress..kicking A so far..

I think it looks nice, i need to take the time one day to sleeve up all my cables, but I hate using molex remover tools, Im afraid Im gonna break something ahh~

I don't mind having the PSU on the bottom really. When I finish my Lian Li it won't matter because of the seperate sections. I should have my camera back right after christmas so I will have lots of pics after that. On the LED Power block I still have to go get the audio connectors (male and female) and I need some more sleeving and then that should be all done. I was thinking of doing 5 Blue and 5 UV LED's or just doing 10 UV's, haven't decided yet.

looks great!

just try to hide the Cold Cathode and do a bit of wire cleanup and you're set!

Then turn off all the lights in your room and take pics with the inside of the case lit up wink.gif

I get company from my wife's job at TV Station WCTI-TV 12 (ABC) in Eastern NC,and the techno geeks love the color mix and exposed light for it purple hue to the effect,when I hide some cables they don't get enough UV and the case looks boring..
They ask me if I know what all those cables do,I laugh !!!
The best thing I like is that I'm an extreme geek that gets to build and play,not always do work...on my computer....

Nice job man.

Is it possible to relocate that crossbar to the top out of view? I know the NZXT Nemesis has a similar bar and looks much better after its moved.

Ur case is looking great. Funny thing is, starting a couple days ago, i've been putting together my new rig which si the same case as urs but black. I also have a UV light right there. There just aren't very many places to hide them in this case cuz the sides have no room (fans go all the way to the edge) and they wont fit in the top. So yea, i would leave the cathode where it is cuz i think it gives it a cool pupleish look to it. If you hide it, it doesnt put off as much light. Newayz, lemme post a picture of mine so far...





Its a work in progress. I'm finding the hardes part is running all the temp probes and stuff so they aren't so noticable. I have an Aerocool Gatewatch in the front. doens seat flush, its a little recessed, but actually doesnt look too bad.

So, yea, ur computer looks great. Keep up the good work smile.gif
