I'm tired and my hands are blistered and sore as a mofo but I'm done for now. Ran out of materials so I'll wait till more comes to finish.
Needed my pc back anyways was way to long without it. Ordered another 50ft of paracord and 1 meter more of 4mm shrink wrap, estimated arrival 10 days.
Still need to sleeve 1 sata cable for my dvd drive and the remainder of the molex and sata cables still in the pc along with the 8pin extension cable and the case cables..
Taking this break to think about how to rewire my fan controller and how it interacts with each fan, thinking about spicing wires directly to the hub in the back.

All in all was a good experience and I can't say I want to do it again, would highly suggest you buy the damn cables Even with two kids this demanded more patience then I had.
Sorry for the shit pictures was using my old crappy phone (still better then ghots phone though) will try to get better ones later when I finish and will use some natural light.





The old pic so you can see the difference.

Yeah, I'm amazed really since I only put 30$ into it at this point and moved some fans around.
I'll put more time in later like I stated but atm I need my pc working to game and relax for a few days.

How much time you put

I am happy my main rig is out of that switch 810, so much plastic on the outside

15 hours or so I'd like to say, I kept taking breaks and spreading it out which slowed me down.
Also did some of it with my son/wife which well wasn't about efficiency. I'd guess 3-5 hours easily was just taking apart and rewiring it.
(yeah my wifes that dope that she'd spend time sleeving with me)

Should also add I lapped my gpu as well in this time. (still to compare temps)

I'm impartial to the plastic on this case minus the finger prints it gets. I really do love this case though, it has everything i could want.
Only qualm really was the front intake with the triangular mesh.. so pointless as it bypasses the dust filter so I duct taped it off.

It looks a lot better, I don't think I would have the patience I would have just bought the pre sleeved cables and white fans haha.

Have to try shit at least once imo. Now that I've done it I never have to do it again, well I might do it when I make my next rig.
Though if I do it I'll be trimming the wires so there exact lengths also.
On a side note do you know if theres white rubber caps to cover the sli connectors? idk if paint would bond to it.
Sure as hell wouldn't bond with the plastic motherboard cover, sucks to wanted to see how it looked speckled.

My 9 year old son still shakes his head at me cause with all my work it did nothing to improve the actual pc, performance wise.
Here's a pic with out the glare.
