I wasn't certain if he was going with the blue sleeving and going the extra mile to make certain the wires wouldn't show threw it

Thanks SO much for all the kind words guys

XS is my home for a lot of reasons but one of the big ones is that you guys are the most responsive and all around best crowd on the net!

As Zanz has said, I will no be sleeving any wires in this build

just blue tidy wires for me

I have some more (kind of expensive) tricks for making them look the part of this build

So I got fittings from Sidewinder in the other day - here is the results

return of the hedgehog!

good job Ian! i see you will be connecting those 4890 blocks in parallel?

**JoeChuo** · 06-13-2009, 11:33 PM

Aawww! your pics looks delicious! Awesome! I guess you got the air blower standby ... no dust capture! Good job!

**D0BR0** · 06-14-2009, 05:13 AM

hoho amazing!! Just don't really understand the way it's supposed to work, with these 2 CrossX connectors...

**shazza** · 06-14-2009, 06:07 AM

Nice progress, Ian. Love the GPU pics.

Looking forward to your other tricks with the PSU wires. I experimented with the bare wire approach as well, but wasn't quite able to get the look I wanted.

**millertime359** · 06-14-2009, 06:49 AM

Love it S_D. Is that a smudge on that BP fat boy barb?

There's always a critic hey

Looking forward to more photos, keep up the good work

yessir

parallel seemed perfect for this build to me... IDK why but I have an innate itch to give it a go

the one big thing is getting the wires to stay with each other and I most definietly can't use zip ties

I have a more blingy way to go about it, might run me broke but certainly more blingy

I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Gorgeous images Ian - keep up the great work!

Yep ... I even experimented with a bit of glue to stick them together (making my own Corsair-type modular cables). Didn't come out too well

Now I can just wait for you to come up with the answer and copy you! (I will, of course, give proper credit).

thanks for quoting me charles, that way I noticed my terrible typos in that one that changed its meaning completely...

the one thing that is nice about this wire I got is that it has double thick insulation so it stays smooth as far as curves go. Normal wire is far to succeeptible to small bends and imperfections. This is 20awg wire but it is as thick on the outside as 18awg.

and thanks for the compliments as well

I'll be sure to document my solution well for ya Sharon

Can't wait to see what you have come up with S_D

**PeterStoba** · 06-14-2009, 10:51 AM

Love the updates.

One question - was that just normal wire you just replace? did you crimp the ends, how?

Has it got to be a certain wire?

Just standard stranded wire, I picked this stuff up from work. you use a molex crimper and the correct pins to make the wires, everything you need is on performance-pcs in the DIY section

**MulletBoy** · 06-14-2009, 04:38 PM

im really excited to see what you come up with in terms of wire management sniipe

i can think of 3 approaches

- old school tidy - no sleeving, but using case holes and cable ties and cable re-routing to its maximum to make as few cables visible as possible

- cable sleeving - if you cant hide them, make them look sexy, MDPC and MurderMod etc.. really helped this trend come along

- zero cable - probably the hardest to do, use custom ribbon cables and directly solder them to the pins on the underside of your MB effectively making cables, plugs and wires totally disappear.... graphics cards might be more of a challenge...

from your clues and constant references to bling, i am guessing your going to "sleeve" you cables with diamonds and platinum rings ..... am i right? lol

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 06-14-2009, 04:42 PM

the whole point of using all blue wire is no sleeving at all, but I assure you it will be extremely tidy. I found what I needed to do the wire management at a price that is doable. If I install the wire scheme I have now with no sleeving and it doesnt look the part, then I am sure nils can help me out with some colored sleeving

**twwen2** · 06-14-2009, 06:28 PM

Beautiful sniipe, can't wait to see your take on cable management.

**JoeChuo** · 06-14-2009, 06:38 PM

Make those wires invisible snipe. I keep on looking at your pics, like it so much!
That macro lens superb ... gonna to grab one for myself.

some bright spark needs to come up with the "wireless PSU"

**Jah** · 06-15-2009, 01:32 AM

As many others I really enjoy your photographs, I would say that is what really sets this log apart from the rest of the nice build logs

To all that admires your photo hardware the background and the lightning is what really makes the difference, appart from the eye for smal details, but you cant buy that.

Looking forward to the final results, and its nice to see one build for the red team.

I believe it was Tesla that tried the whole "lets transfer power without wires!" idea with his Tesla tower...

not sure if it's such a good idea

**dualbrain** · 06-15-2009, 04:08 PM

Sniiipeee ... don't hide behind that camera. All I am really looking for is in the reflections ... I want to see you!!!

**SNiiPE_DoGG** · 06-15-2009, 04:11 PM
