wiring management in progress, had to mod the rear of case for front panel wiring to give a cleaner look inside the case. Found the front panel wiring harness is about 6" to short and did't feel like modifying the wiring to extend.

I'm waiting on some parts to complete the wiring management and finish the build.

 

Let me know what you think so far?

with this build most of the build time was spent in rear cable management. I tried to get it as clean and streamline as possible, I've spent 10 hours routing and re-routing wiring. I truly believe this is an area that set system builders apart from one another.
