The HD5970 is from Asus. I think it's common now for most of the GPU comes with the protector.

Oh my god, how can this build become more beautiful? It's so flawless... no crazy complex mods at first glance, but you can see the complexity in the details.

Thanks for the good words. Initially I just wanted to water-cooling this rig without any major mods but I can't help it and go for the details. :p:

Today still doing the sleeving and play with the old lens ... need to learn again with the manual focusing :D

Some shot for viewing ...

Always looking, too awe-struck to say anything.

Mind taking a picture of the ambient lighting of the case through the front? (Ventilated area)

That sleeving is very well executed. The shrinktube is very tidy and even in length. It looks like very thin walled shrinktube which makes it even more elegant.

Did you make your own wires or are those the wires from the psu?

I will take more photo after finish the wires stuff ... those light hardly visible from the front. The rads and the fans took those space so tightly.

Minor updates ...
Now I no the reasons why mid tower case painfully to mods for water cooling ... haha! too late for me. Behind the mb tray for the wires is very narrow. Need carefully plan for the wire management. Show you guys some shot ... so you got the idea ..

24 wires madness! :eek: [ ignore the cable tie ]

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...rmandy/an5.jpg

Pretty tight down there! :D

http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...rmandy/an4.jpg

Another tight area! [ ignore the dirty hose ]

Wow, I've heard how difficult it is to get the 24-pin cable to be sleeved... but you did it perfectly :D

i'm not trying to lower his work, but he had an advantage with the 100% modular PSU ! ;)

That doesn't help, since that would me he would need to disconnect the pins at both ends, doubling his work :eek:

Thanks! The 24pins using my own wires. The stock just 15cm short.

Disconnect the pins is fun ... inserting the sleeve is boring ... heating the heat-shrink is hot ... completion is total satisfaction! :p:

unless you do, like I did, change the cables themselves and get new connectors too!! it's still a pain in the a$$ to get them look all the same (same length of shrinks mostly) but you don't cut yourself as much trying to get them out one at a time!

besides that gives you a much better result using only black cables for black sleeves for example... and it's way more important when use use white sleeves like i did. otherwise you can see the colored cable underneath!

ok enough of this, sorry Joe :p:
