Show Us Your Rig [6]

[essenbe]

Dude, the only way I know of is to sleeve them, color them or do a "ghetto" sleeving job, wrap them in electrical tape. Either that or fashion some type of cover that would block that section from view.

Nice work Brian, Ryan, noober, and Jack.

Jack, your images are very tiny, can you upload some full sized ones so we can see detail better?

I know I could google and find some, but I would rather have answers from fellow members. I want to cover up the wires from my case, what would be your recommended sleeving?

Dude, I stand corrected. These will go most of them.

Is this any better?

Dude, just to add my 2 cents, I did sleeving on my rig, I did all the sleeving on my fan controller cables and fans to a white with black tips, it took hours to get it perfect, but it was worth it, for the rest I ended up buying sleeved cables, my psu had an option to buy the modular cable set sleeved in different colors, and now all match, my sleeving I used was also the nzxt, but it takes along time, and you need to carefully remove the ping for the gfx cables, the sleeving is very tight.

Ganjy, mate that looks epic! That is one awesome and futuristic controller!

Layback bear, very nice rig, I wanted to add some constructive criticism, but recently in a post wre I tried to help someone, they did not like it. lol, so I wont, but it looks great, liking the blue allot.

 

[Dude]

Thanks, looking into it can be a lot of work. Think I will apply electrical tape to the ends and tuck them again for now.

Thanks Steve, I meant the case wires I circled here in this pic.

Plan A: Sleeved extensions like Steve suggested.

Plan B: Take a black Sharpie felt marker to the wires.

Plan C: Sleeve them yourself. Only the parts that show have to be sleeved.

Plan D (the sucky one): Do nothing.

Whichever plan you choose, dressing the cables to run next to each other in a neat bundle will dramatically improve the appearance. Secure the bundle by tying it together somehow; zip ties are too bulky but you might be able to tie them together with a matching sewing thread. Another option would be to sleeve the bundle. Also, routing the bundle as much as possible so it has lines parallel to the edges of the MOBO will improve the appearance.

That long front panel audio cable can be hidden by routing it under the MOBO.

How about this one. It's hard for me to tell on a 40" screen.
This is 552 kb.

The problem appears to be with your camera; the resolution is too low. Merely enlarging a low res picture pixilates the snot out of the image, destroying any details. Try resetting your camera to a higher resolution.

I've never done sleeving but it's meant to be a pita to do and is pretty time consuming. I think for case cable's it's just best to hide them as much as possible and maybe colour the bit's you can see some how, black marker or something. No doubt the others will have some idea of a few more ways

Aren't you worried about alien crosstalk with that many cables bundled up together?

If the word Phanteks glowed blue, it would be a 100 % complete design VERY nice looking rig.

Doug, get the NZXT cable extension pack they sell.......I have it and it is awesome! Very high quality, and not too stiff so you can manipulate them.

I am slightly paranoid when I look at all those cables all jumbled up behind the motherboard mounting plate. Maybe I am just overly protective of my baby ( computer )

Well I'm new to the digital camera settings. I have no idea how to set the resolution. I just put it on Auto.
I new how to use my Nikon 8008 SLR but this digital stuff is new to me.
When I get done with this new computer project I will have to do some more homework.
I have changing how the fans work all day. It's a trial and error and then monitor the temps for about 30 min. under 100% load. I lowed the temps from a 58 to 60C Max. down to 48 to 50C. I have been running this test for 36 min and the avg. Max. temp is 50.2 C. 100% load @4.6. Idles 6 C over ambient temp.

Are the ones you're talking about the same as the ones I linked to? If so, I've bought about 4 or 5 sets of them and they work great. I have a set now and have no idea why I didn't use them on my last build. I guess I was saving them for the next build.
