And, I may add, aggravates the s*** out of you.

Proper cable management is mandatory here and slackers won't be tolerated...............

On the topic of cables... I really dislike the flat, stiff, ribbon-style cables that came with my SeaSonic X-650-KM3, and since I can't really sleeve cables myself (the whole one handed thing sucks sometimes), I ordered a set of individually sleeved PSU cables from modDIY recently. Picked them up from the post office this morning.

I have to say, these things look absolutely incredible.. Can't wait to get them in! They will go a long way to getting my black/white theme going properly in my MiniMonster (the rig in my sig specs).

Sorry about the crappy quality, my HTC's camera seems to be playing up again..

 

[Dude]

Those look good ZaLiTH

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

Those certainly beat the holy snot out of the stock cables!

 

[essenbe]

Don't feel bad, ZaLiTH, I can't sleeve cables either and I don't have an excuse other than laziness. I tried once and gave up after the second one. Those look absolutely great. They beat the crap out of the stock ones, and look better than the extensions. Very well done.

Very nice cables!

I guess you only have another 6 months or so to wait until you start your main build mate lol

 

[NoN]

Nice set of cables and looking neat ones.

I would like doing it on my PSU but their cables fittings is a bit of a complicated matter, it might takes me ages to do it as i also do not know if a ready set will suit mine!

 

[ZaLiTH]

Thanks you guys, they definitely are better than the originals.. Hopefully I can make a plan to get them in next weekend.

I have successfully sleeved fan extension cables before, but each one took me nearly 2 hours and they're considered the "easier" ones to do..

Let's hope not hey.. Finding the parts has been an absolute nightmare. Finally found the PSU (should be about half way here now) and then one of the monitors ended up having a patch of damaged pixels, not dead, just looks like something pressed on the screen too hard, causing a coloured blotchy patch... So that's gone back and I'm trying to get a replacement.

This wasn't technically a "ready made" set, modDIY didn't actually have my SS 650 listed on their site.. But when I emailed them to find out more, it turns out they actually make their sets based on customer's requirements. It works out a little bit more pricey than a lot of the pre-made ones, but you can tell them what PSU it's for and specify exactly how you want them to look.

It's a well known "fact" that a properly wire managed case will run faster and be far more powerful. All seriousness aside, proper wire management can help a rig to run a bit cooler since there are fewer cables interfering with proper airflow.

 

[essenbe]

Excellent job, Phill. That is a great improvement, and I know you are quite proud of it, as you should be. As Lady F said, it will now run much cooler than before, and with that may be a little faster. Just because you can run it harder without the heat limit. Well, some of us would think that way. But it looks much better and should be cooler with much less wiring to restrict air flow.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Wow what an improvement Phil. You system can run cooler and will be easier to clean without all the excess cables in the main compartment. Great work !
