Looks pretty good to me, definitely better than 75% of most beginners' work :)

There are still some unsleeved cables though ;)

Nice pictures, but that last one was photoshopped, right? It doesn't look like a natural bokeh.

Thanks :)

Last pic was not photoshopped, bokeh looks unnatural because there are no specular highlights. Taken at 50mm f/1.4 with a macro extention tube. ;)

Hi,

I want to made some change to my build and that will go by a new sleeving, but am trying to find colored cable (white and black) to make them the right length before sleeving. Where do you buy them ?

I know both performance-pcs and frozen cpu stock cable, and crimping gear.

Performance-pcs ships internationally and I'm not sure about frozen cpu.

Thank you Huww,

I had a look in performance-pcs before and didn't see them. But I found it now, had I better look !

Usually you can buy 300ft (100 meters) of electrical wire at many many online-etailers (no m0dd1ng-shops) for about 15-20 Euro (Dollars).
A little bit of searching should bring results, no matter where you live :)

American size:
AWG18 for everything except fans, front-panel-things, USB
AWG26 for everything which is not covered by AWG18

European equivalents (if you want to search in Europe):
AWG18 = 0,75mm² wire
AWG26 = 0,14mm² wire

may i connect standard pins for fans to the wires that come with standard 4-pin power molex, for example psu wires?
and then plug these wires with pins into the standard fan housing?

http://www.performance-pcs.com/catal...e_t_01_LRG.jpg

i doubt becoz psu wires are quite thick and fan connectors designed for thin wires :shrug:
or in other words what awg is compatible with fans connectors?

As Nils said, 26 should work.

well, problem is that i have already wires, these ones that come with laing original pump

http://www.ru.aquatuning.de/images/p...400/5079_3.jpg

now i need to change this molex with 3-pin fan connector.
will those pins from the post above work with this particular wires?

24 gauge speaker wire works extremely well for fans and other smaller items and is quite easy to find. That is what I normally use for these types of applications.

Not a chance.

Unless you are really lucky/good...

Doesn't the molex on the ddc use the smaller of the two wires though? I could be mistaken, and I'm not on my desktop so I can't check.
