There comes a time for every vampire when the idea of eternity becomes momentarily unbearable. Living in the shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep, rots into a solitary, hollow existence.

Geoffrey, Sybaritic used to sell Codegen 4-pin to 8-pin PSU adaptors, which would act as an extension in your case. I see they don't have them listed on their site anymore, but I definitely bought from them before. Maybe you can ask there.

If you don't come right, I have a short one here that I could Speed Service to you. It's only about 10cm long, but that looks like it might do it if your picture is anything to go on. Let me know.

What a nice case!

And nicely managed cables for a quick install, great work man.

Oh, and where are you from bro? I also have a spare extension cable for the cpu plug that you can have.

Awesome dude!!! Im gonna mail Graeme today and see what he says...
I think I may need a longer one than that, I want it to run mainly behind, I wanna run it along the roof so you cant see it :D

I've cut the 4-pin cable from my old PSU... so I think Im gonna see what comes from the extenders story, but if nothings happening I'll cut and add cable in the mean time. Im just not keen on messing up this PSU....

Thanks for the offer dude, I'll let you know about it later today

Thanks bro!! Personally, I think a lot more can be done cable management wise :D But all in good time. I just wanna get my PC up and running asap 8)

Getting so many ideas, the case has lots of modding potential

That is a nice case. Like the positions of the on/off and reset buttons. How are you going to manage the cables? What is your idea?

Just finished "modding" my 4-pin CPU connector!! So teh beast is working 8)
Will post more pics of the case in action :D

For cable management: I wanna get rid of the clips, as they dont really help much... and I wanna mod a box type thing for majority of the cables. The rest I've pushed behind the mobo backing... so its looking pretty neat already

Small update for you guys. I still need to mount the cover, but I can only do that when my machine if off so I can take out the GFX card thats in the way

Here's what I've done so far today

Image
Took the standard, crappy looking fan cover off

Image
No more :D

Image
Finally can put this amazing piece of plexi to use :D Ett sent it to me ages ago! Now my case has got some Epiphany goodness in it :lol:

Image
Drilled some mounting holes

Image
Found some metal laying around, not sure if this is gonna be final... must see how it looks once its mounted

Image
Epiphany grille installed 8)

Image
One of the screws, bottom view

Image
Final product

__________________


The cover is gonna be mounted onto the plexi grille... and red CCFL installed along the side of the PSU, so that the light can shine outta the bottom of the case :D

Might even end up installing some LED's at the bottom of the case. Will get the cover mounted asap

Two critical comments:
  1. No-one's going to see that piece of plexi if you're not planning on a case window.
  2. Dust, dust, dust. 'Nuff said.
Apart from the above two points, I like it. Very well done.
Kia kaha, Kia māia, Kia manawanui.
