Since it takes me forever to get anything accomplished here is a little teaser for the monumental wire-management project I've been working on for the last three months. (I only get a couple hours a week to work on my project between watching/raising my 2yrld son...)

I'm still in the process of taking pictures of everything as well as finishing a lot of it but I've gone through a good 500ft of wire and almost as much sleeving for the entire project. Right now I'm working on building out the wires for the 10 analogue temperature sensors and 8 digital temperature sensors that I have attached to the various bits on the motherboard... so there will definitely be much more to come, if anyone's interested. ;-p

If you notice closely in the fourth image I stole a "pin-block" out of another cable I wasn't using and put it in the PIN-05 location. Because my cases are usually inherited/purchased by other people at some point, making sure they can't put this quick-disconnect on backwards is one of those "finishing touches" that also doubles as idiot-proofing... ;-p

There's three more pictures that I need to update this with that shows how the 8-pin connectors are used to connect this wire-harness to where they were cut from the Silverstone TJ09 case. (Along with a pigtail from the power-switch that runs off the harness to my analogue temperature sensorhub so it can shut the motherboard down if it detects runaway temps)

ERRATA:


(...for some reason the thumbnail orientation is messed up, clicking on the images to see the full size shows the actual orientation...)

As far as the parts are concerned, I purchase my header connectors and pins from a company named www.futurlec.com.

Sleeving is one of those tasks that seems mundane, but makes a world of difference.

Well-done!

Nice Job on the sleeving ,

WOW Great prices at that site,
I usually order my headers and pins from Mouser (sometimes Digikey)
but, great prices at futurlec! (Like 1/3 off!!!!)
(though the selection seems rather sparse: ie no 6 or12 pin double row, no pin blocks)
and I don't see an option for selecting polarized headers)

(still -if they have what you need -the prices are )
Bookmarked and repped
Cheers


(PS- that blocked pin is position 10 not 5 )
