cpaChris did you have this problem. I remember seeing a post in your build some time back..

I would have....if I hadn't turned the PA2's 45 degrees so that the wires were straight.

Thanks for replying...that is what i want to avoid the heatshrink not going into crimp and just hanging. Redid the entire SATA cabling just to avoid that. Been looking at this for hours from various angles to see if an idea pops out.

Had some issue with the white bay-cover (MNPCTech). Bad shot, but it started to bend (bow) outwards when screws were tightened.

I think i fixed the problem later in the night after bending it a few times (with hand and little force....its not good quality for sure).
Will put it back later on today in between the AQ5's.

Spent few hours last night thinking how I would do the power wiring/distribution between AQ5 and Vandal Switches.
Doing Y's between the units was getting frustrating - working and cutting small lengths of wires just didn't feel right.
I put another unit in...which is the vertical stand with fan. I believe I cannot avoid this because the AQ's are going to get hot and this fan would blow air from inside the case on to them. THere is cool air coming from hard disk side.
There will be one below the 3 pieces (AQ's+MNPCTech), for air towards pumps.

So the last thought I had before goign to bed last night (after staring at this thing for an hour), was I will run the wire in this groove between the case vertical stand.

And run unsleeved wires between the AQ5's and vandal switches. I'll make it nice and tight and will be behind the fan. I cannot have it come out too much otherwise it will hit the fan.
As long as all cabling is within 3 inches of the units.

After I took shot above, thought maybe i can just splice this fan frame so it leaves only base plastic part and fan will look much cooler.

I may have a solution to this problem for you, Im not sure if you were aware, But aquatuning sells a waterblock for those controllers, and since you are doing WC, I thought it would be nice to inform you. As you seem to not fancy the fan idea. They replace those small heatsinks, same screws and everything I believe.

Yes I am aware of that. Few people have advised that I would need it in my system. AQ says its fine without AQ5 water block. I am only going to put the fan there if I need it....
THe real problem in my earlier post, is the wiring coming from PSU to AQ5 and the way its going to look.

The AQ5 block is UBER restrictive.

I was so high last night, with all the paint fumes and using stripper so many times. When I bought my wife's car back in the garage I bumped into the stool holding the PSU cover and it fell... Redid it again this evening with garage door fully open...

Engraver did a sample piece below, and he didn't screw up. Not cheap -- like $180. I had to go there and give him inch to metric conversion table on paper as they don't know metric system.
Picking up 2 pieces tomorrow 22"x6 3/4" and 14" x 2" for two lightboxes, since sample came out perfect.

I have to get the edges polished? If yes, can I do it myself...have dremmel, polisher..just don't know technique & polish compound to get.

Should have clarified - Lightbox above is SLightbox (murderbox) design ..

Did family vote thing on which fan (cough!) for PSU, went copper brown:
