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:

It's ok. :) Cheers!

Every build got it own look and feel. The most important you like and proud with it. :p: Just do our best! :up:

A little OT here. There is no update for this project yet. Have been busy doing a set of PSU cables for a guys from Canada that have been bugging me for few days. I recommended him a MDPC sleeve ... probably cheaper for him but he insist of mine. Crazy chap! And his cable is super long ... 100cm for the 24pins :eek: Anyway I'm done with it. Shipped to him today ... across half of the world! Hope that he happy with it. Manage to get this few shot for viewing >

Wow! You did such a great job of sleeving your wires and the routing at the back of the case is just so neat.

Looks amazing JoeChuo. Although I would trim down the zip-ties. I don't really like the look of those loose ends, and I don't believe they still serve a purpose, or do they?

The zip-ties is just temporary ... I will used the P-Clip to hold those wires.
My P-Clip is on the way ... maybe arrive tomorrow. :)

Black is always looks good! :up:

Today updates ..
Have been soul searching for the sleeve. The one that I bought before had no more stock! The vendor change to another cheaper type of sleeve. Siigh! So I just need another 1.5m ... dig out my old sleeve and found the red one! Yeah! A little touch with red should be nice :up:

Some preview here >

Good-day Guys! Small updates ..
Got small problem with the cables management. I cannot using the P-Clips due to limited clearance at the back of the MB tray ... only 1cm! :eek: Looks like small cable ties is the best option. Will post the photo later on ...

Another update is the HD5970 card ... fit in just nice! :D Phew! I'm happy now! Cheers!
