A complete step by step of the build:

surgeVel · 07-03-2008, 07:25 AM

Yeah I know wire management could use a bit of work, but I just had SOOO many extra cables with the 750TX.

decibaL · 07-03-2008, 09:59 AM

Is that a crack on the window?

surgeVel · 07-03-2008, 10:20 AM

Yeah. They are sending a replacement... it was damaged in the mail, unfortunately.

Preacher · 07-03-2008, 11:34 AM

Amazing pictures and hardware of course, very envious.
Get some good wiring done and you got yourself a beast.

thirdshiftdj · 07-03-2008, 02:12 PM

nice hardware. I really suggest redoing the wire management. Zipties, cable clamps or something. Not trying to sound like a ****, but as a customer I wouldn't accept that.

surgeVel · 07-03-2008, 03:21 PM

Yeah, the only major issue I find with the wires is the bunch of SATA cables right there that you can see in the window. But I threw the wires all together in a hurry so that I could test the hardware and everything. I'll make sure to clean it up before it leaves for its owner.
