Update #14



Got an overclock.net sticker from someone, stuck it on the inside of the case, it looks amazing when you hold it up to the light!



My button-head hex screws came from MDPC. Everything is now replaced with black-oxide goodness!



Sleeving from MDPC. I have already run out of black and i forgot to order white SATA sleeving so i will place another order



First i got some nice big scissors and cut through all the 24pin wires so they were the same length. I also couldn't get the pins out, even after making a tool with my dremel and an old screw driver. I think they were extra strength pins or something. I then crimped and soldered on new pins and sleeved the black first.



Tada! Sleeved with white too. You don't see the cables so much through the white after i closed the PSU up, after you pull the sleeving tight it closes the holes.





Er slight problem, it now won't fit!



Better picture showing how you can't actually see the wires in the white sleeving



Clamped up the top of the PSU and cut a hole. There was already most of that hole, it was an opening onto the top of the fan. I just extended it to the edge of the case.



Neatened up with the sanding stones on my dremel. I've straightened that closest edge since then. I plan to get this part powdercoated



More sleeving shots



Got it closed! It actually looks very neat, i thought it was going to look bodged



In this shot you can see the 24pin, 4pin and then my auxilliary lead going off. Beleive it or not, the only connectors i have on the psu are 24pin mobo, 4pin cpu, 2x sata and 1x molex. The molex goes to the custom PCB which inturn drives everything including cathodes, LEDs, pump and cd drive. It's all about space saving!



Final shot of the PSU.
