its a pain in the arse especially when everywhere stocks all the old £30 cards constantly.
i did ppost some pics but there was dust still on some of my fans lol, totaqlly unexceptable so now ive got me some isopropanol i can deal with that
as for finished product hmmm! it wont be finished untill i get the £'s together for the second card and source it. it has to be the exsact same card as i cant have it lookin odd lol. i'll post a couple of pics after this weekend well about tuesday as thats when my ram comes.
oh i also finally sussed how to get that copper and steel mesh flush enough to use as filters on my side and top panels so less dust last time i tried to fit it i couldn't get it flush on the side panel and the 200mm fan just ground against it loudly. alls good now tho

Nice, seems we both will be posting updated rigs by next weekend (then my new pump would have hopefully arived) and I desided to sleeve my psu cables, so I started to sleeve the one set of 6/8 pin gpu cables, and halfway it I ran out of sleeve, so thats what you get for ordering cheap sleeves. So I decided to get this : Professional Series

So it costs allot more, but is allot less work and it will be here on Monday or Tuesday on the latest.

I wanted those NZXT Extensions, but I preferred to have the entire cables one color, and they "extend" to much for my taste, it makes hiding cables very hard haha.

Here is one place : Amazon.com: NZXT CB 24P-R Singled Sleeved M/B 24-Pin Premium Cable (Red): Computers & Accessories

And I like having the entire cable set as one bundle type thing. But those extensions if used right looks amazing, aslong as the original wires are hidden.

thats the ones but i want the 2colour ones. either black n red or red n white. i only need a couple for gpu's, one sata for optical drives and then the ones for the smaller stuff like usb conecters n fans. as theres only a couple it wont be a poblem hiding em. when i go for a modular psu ill get full kit but that wont b for some time as my current psu is only about 10 months old.
cheers for the link it was for the us amazon but i used the name of em for a search on the uk one and found the braided led kits. didnt know they made em lol. those nzxt ones look better quality than the bitfenix but i still cant find them in two colors. i take it that in order to have 2 colors u have to do it yourself? i think i'll go for red or if i can find them as dual color then red n white

I dont think they make 2 colors? Or at least they dont in South Africa, I bought one of those sleeved LED's , a 2meter one last week, and I have to say, they don't make all that much light, but they are cheap, and a 2meter one rapped the entire inside of my chassis. I dont know if the red/blue and so on colors will maybe be brighter, but the white just gives enough so you can see whats what. haha

Or sleeve the ones you already have, this way you can make it anyway you want. I don't recommend this, cause it sucks doing it and takes ALLOT of time.haha

Or take one gpu cable in red, and the other in white, or something like that. Oh and by the way those LED's come with a switch that you can select the brightens of, so they are not to bad in that sense.
