go any further I finally got it pretty much done there's still a couple small things I haven't finished bleeding out the loop and yeah mostly that we're pretty much there I need to reformat my OS and stuff like that because this is like a year outdated at this point haven't used it in a really long time so I actually had my 30-inch monitor here in the room while I was working on the rig I don't remember why it was down here I remember why it was down here we were probably running benchmarks on it yeah we were running benchmarks on it so it was down here in this room it was just kind of here and Rumble really wanted some attention and he was you know just kind of being a brat rubbing up against everything jumping up on everything he jumped up on my 30 inch monitor and it fell right here and she whacked this thing now when it was powered off it still looked absolutely perfect so right in the center there where it got hit there's not a single mark but I powered it on to test whether my rig worked and I was greeted by this so my Samsung 305 T plus my 2560 by 1600 monitor that I actually just recently tested and found out will work at 75 Hertz with a supported Nvidia graphics card and I was really excited to try that out is dead so I have to figure out on my monitor situation sometime over the next little bit here I'm going to check with Paul from from new egg TV and see how he likes that yah mikaze leonidas that he got see if he likes it and we'll go from there anyway I might as well show you guys my horrendous okay this is probably the worst cable management you've ever seen I decided by the time I was getting to the close to the into the build I was like you know what forget it I'm not going to put quite the same sort of care and attention to detail into the cable management as I originally intended so things got a little crazy all up in here so the things that I'm still going to do you can see this just runs off to nowhere this is the USB connector for the key balancer which is my smart fan speed controller so this I only have to plug in to program it so I'm just going to leave it here and then I can plug it in to program it and then just take it out and leave it back here this is for the UV area the UV cathode that's in the t-virus okay you don't have to see the inside they don't get to see that yet I'm going to do a final update when it's like done done also because I didn't have as much room with my cable management holes as I had hoped because a lot of it got taken up by these SATA connectors which I was planning originally to hide sort of down here but it didn't really end up working that way so instead they come through here they're managed back here and then they go into all these drives because I took up a lot of my cable management room I was only able to run a couple power connectors up here so I think I only have a single three molex connector coming up here and it's powering everything so I had to fashion myself some random adapters so this is like a molex to left angle theta and molex and then I used some of the phobia quad SATA splitters to to molex to power all eight of the eff 120 SandForce drives that are running off the LSI controller inside normally I'm pretty good about oh yeah the same thing like running all of the fans so there's two fans in the front four on the bottom two in the top two at the back and they all have to somehow plug into four fan connectors on the T balancer which this is the only really reasonable place to hide it so that ended up being a bit of a nightmare as well and I could fashion custom cables but I just got to the point where I was tired and I wanted to have a gaming rig again normally I'm really good about this and I end up with a loop that's very easy to bleed but my loop is as you might or may not be able to hear got quite a few air bubbles in it so I'm going to have to play around with the angles of the case little bit and I get that bled out so I'd this barely closes guys like barely closes and I can barely get the side panel back off so once it's done and it's closed I want it to pretty much be done one of the other things that was a real nightmare to get done was getting this 3/8 tubing over the d5 pump as well as the half-inch barbs that I have on my thermal chill rat I also still have to add some zip ties I mean I don't think these are going to leak look how stretched they are but it's always you know better safe than sorry for stuff like that all the not-quite individually but two cables per sleeve cables go here and I want to I want to tie them up a little bit just get them into bunches somewhat because you can see them through the mid plate on the other side I didn't get a custom mid plate so that's the last thing that I want to change on the back it's going to be really quiet once I get it sort of dialed in with the t balancer but there you go so we're close and there's my there's my horrendous cable management you guys are going to be surprised at how tidy the other side looks when you see how awful it looks in the back here but I've never really I've never been really been one of those guys who puts a lot of attention in detail into the stuff that no one's ever going to see even though I feel like I probably should especially with some of the awesome build logs that are going on in the - tech tips forum you guys are you guys are making me feel bad about taking a year to finish this monstrosity but anyway I pretty much have a gaming rig again except I no longer have a monitor and that's my personal rig update
