Thanks! Try put the Hi-Res one into your desktop ..

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

Hi-Res Photo [2560 x 1600] You will amaze!

[JoeChuo]

Good day everybody!

Something I wanna to share with you guys ... WARNING! Do not give this flower to your lady! Haha! You will get this kind of face!



Still war with wires now ... will update soon!

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.

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

Some shot for viewing ...



Aaah! I shot myself!



Luckily I got the tools ... those pins so small for my eyes! Cheers!

[JoeChuo]

Uuh! What happen to my log? Nobody looking!

Finished the 24pin wires sleeved! Pain all my fingers! Soon this log going to the end ... anyway?

The tiny and sharp pins!



Not bad made in China stuff ... MDPC sleeve FTW!



Cheers!

Oh boy, another modder wounded in a sleeving related accident .

[josk1]

i thought i was the only one struggling with those stupid wires!!!
good to hear you did too

[randomhro]

That sleeving looks really good. What can I say though, so far everything looks really good

[topgun]

Always looking, too awe-struck to say anything.

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

[Zeus]

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! [ ignore the cable tie ]



Pretty tight down there!



Another tight area! [ ignore the dirty hose ]



Misc shot .. Anacondas!





Enjoy! Cheers!

That 24 pin cable is just :O.

[josk1]

love it!
looks great!

... i wish these silverstone PSUs would exist 18months ago!

[ScottALot]

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

[josk1]

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

[Alexandr0s]

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

[callen_1]

That is just B-E-A-utiful!!

[shazza]

Beautiful job on your sleeving and cable routing, Joe.

[y0gi]

Man, that is so clean. Love it.

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

I love the modular cables ..

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

I enjoy doing it but too time consuming!

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

No worries ... my work not really 100% perfect tho.

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

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

That is just B-E-A-utiful!!

Thanks for the complements!

Beautiful job on your sleeving and cable routing, Joe.

Thank you for looking in and the complements. Love your work too .. I remember you paint the gt fans to red too. Your idea ..

Man, that is so clean. Love it.

Thanks!

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
