Yes, I'm still alive. After the LAN, I kinda went a bit backwards and disassembled the case again
to re-do some things that didn't quite work the first time. I'm spending a lot more time in the cabling department
this time. I didn't like how the SATA cables came out so I'm completely remaking them using white wires.
I'm also using these shorter pass-through connectors, but only one at the end of each cable.
These make it easy to swap out the wires. Just pry the back cover off.
I cut the white wires to length and soldered the pins on.
Then pressed each wire into their slots and put the cover back on.
For the ATX cables, I wanted a different effect than sleeving. Something that would match the case theme, and pass through
the floor. So I'm making an extension with all white wires that I'm coloring blue, to match all three shades of the coolant.
Using the female side of the ATX connector, I adjusted the wires til they created a smooth 90° curve.
Then after allowing for additional length needed to pass through the floor, I temporarily tied them together to make my cuts.
Once they were all cut to length, I soldered the pins on.
But before I put the connector on, I'll need to feed the wires through the floor, and I can't do that until I finish
up some other things first. 'Til next time!
