Most extreme cable management mod ever

Yeah thats not a human threat, it wont shock you but it could end the systems life instantly if somthing shorts it out.

More than the power rails wich I think is neat, is the fact he said he soldered all the ATX stuff directly to the mobo from the backside. That is what I think is the bad idea. That mobo and maybe the PSU are pretty much set in stone to never be used for anything else, for sombody like me who has had to remove his psu, mobo, ect ect on several occasions to do a mod, clean, and other things this would be a very very bad idea.

So in effect its very showy but fails to perform IMO.

You see just about as many wires in my case due to neat cable managment, but they still come right off the mobo when I need them too.

That's beyond sick

12 volts at 30+ amps is alot of power my friend.

It only takes a few v to stop your heart.

""It only takes a few v to stop your heart.""



volts is the potential electrical difference between two objects and amps is the amount of current. current is what kills.

as purdy as those rails are you wouldn't want to be rubbing them when the psu is on.

mm, current is the one that pwnes.

This is pretty extreme, but even so
I wanna see liquid cabling dammit.

mercury maybe?

liquid cabling???? wow.

tell me though, what benefits would this have over conventional cables?


here's a nugget for ya, i'm am soon awaiting a set of pure carbon cables. 48 000 filiments in just under 3mm.

should be interesting...

dangerous or not, well done on the XS spirit. Next up: Hardlines for IDE /sata cables?

this is xtreme system not xtreme caution forum :p:

no, that's his watercooling :slap:

we're looking at the copper rods..

Ohhhhhhh


ok



:up:

Oh **** place a ferrite/iron rod between the grounds...EEEK. If a powersurge ever comes, not only the mobo will get knocked. Prolly like everything in the room :D

Btw, i bet that doesnt comply with fcc rules :D

Just to let everyone know, human skin can resist up to around 35v, and rough skin (lumberjacks and boatmen and such) can do up to 60v. My uncle used to be a serious competitor in single kayak races. He was an electrician by proffesion. He's russian btw. No safety involved. Touching bare live midvolt leads was his proffesion.

You can die of 50mA.

enough of the stupidity. Youd have to have the 12v rails connected directly to your heart to die from it.

he did an excellent job. It looks good and works well. Thats all he wanted to do and he accomplished it. Unlike you guys, I don't take my machine apart every day and im willing to be neither does he. He did a good neat job. I kinda wish I had the room to do something similar to my case since I already have hard liquid lines in my loop. But I run a mid tower and have no were near the room he does.

enough criticizing. Different things are for different people. Not all apply to everyone.

I tip my hat to him. Good craftsmanship.

Well, I've held bare wires connected to a PSU before to keep them in place when messing with stuff and haven't gotten zapped yet.

Note the operative word there, "yet" ;)

Its very impressive and definately somehting I would call xtreme. The attention to detail is stunning.

sheesh 12 volts isn't gonna kill you, hell you probably can't even feel 30 volts

does touching a car battery kill you? no. does it have a large capacity of amps? yes.

in other words, touching those metal bars = fine, touching those metal bars with something metal (screwdriver, etc.) = bad

besides, i think it's manditory for all computer psu's to have short circuit protection these days, i've shorted my psu a couple times by accident, no sparks, smoke or explosion, the psu just turns off

that is extremely sick. i only wish i had the time and skills to do something like this. totally awesome work.

wonder if he is an xtreme member?

That is mad crazy!

Okay... that kinda voltage won't penetrate normal skin, but a touch of moisture etc... hello Mr Defibrilator. as has been said, current kills, not voltage. and it takes surprisingly litle to upset your heart (I have a condition (Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome), which involves the electrical pathways to my heart, so I have read up a fair bit on this)

While we are on it... current is not supplied as such, but requested/drawn from the power source... your car battery may be able to supply 300A, but unless a component (starter motor etc) draws that power down the wire, then there is no current.

Short circuit protection? Great, your PSU lives, you don't, a lot will not ract quick enough to save you.

Just be careful out there;)

ANYWAY.......

Cracking Mod... original thinking, especially on the support arrangement.

lol I was thinking about similar things, saw those lights hanging on steel cables at a bar, my idea was to use tiger clamps lol, but the copper pipe beat me to it.

I want to send my comps to this guy to CM my rigs...WOW :woot:

i really need to learn how manage my wires

what i really like is how hes got all the wires black, its a wonder he didnt mix them up.. lol.

impressive, but couldnt he have just routed cables behind the motherboard?
