Ok, yeah, yeah, it's coming up on two weeks....oh well, better to do it right than quick, right?
I've been working on the wiring the last few days, so I'm getting closer. I gotta say; I'd never used heatshrink tubing before, but I LOVE IT! It makes insulating connections soooo much easier, and lets me do much smaller, more streamlined connections. Like so:
I decided to route my ATX connector through two sleeves because it gives me more flexibility with routing the cables (ok, so initially it was because all 24 wires wouldn't fit through the sleeving I have, but it worked out well).
ATX connector done:
and in place:
I got one of the PCI-E power lines done today, and started on the second one, but I ran out of the narrow heatshrink tubing *kicks self for not getting more*. So tomorrow I'll head off to Ace and pick up more tubing...stupidly overpriced there, but I'm not gonna wait for delivery, I want to get this thing running this weekend. Once I get the wiring done, I'll finally be able to run the tubing, and I want to run the loop without the majority of the hardware in there for at least 12 hours. If it's not raining tomorrow, I'll be disassembling the whole thing again and throwing a few coats of paint on the frame.
