I think Kobalt did his whole case in the real stuff. It looks way better than automotive cable loom.

Yes you can do it in full stainless steel, i did mine with a junction box (orac inspired)
and it looks great (well i think so lol)
i got mine in a home depot like in the plumbing dept or bathroom accessories it's called bungie shower hose, you have to get the rubber tubing out and then cut it with a metal hack saw or a grinder, it's tough lol just slip your unmolexed wires in and re attach them on the other side.
just another thing, you cant have splits, like the drives have to get their own cable each
as you can see all my devices have their own cable. And did the motherboard with two.
Just go here to see all the pics wink.gif

That's pretty neat Kobalt smile.gif I especially like the 20/24 pin main power cable coming out the bottom. Seems like a pretty good idea!

Thnx guys tongue.gif
The double motherboard cable came as a "have to", the wires were too big to fit in one tube loll so i had to use two.
All in all it wasn't that hard to do, the part i had trouble with were the three 60mm holes done with the dremel dry.gif

And yes vamp, the ps is in now but on it's way out.
I'm planning another one that will be on top of the case, all wires will be attached on a plate where the ps usually stand and will be connected to a at least 1 kilowatt (1000 watts)PS on top. dont know the exact wattage yet, it'll depend on budget dry.gif
