Hi all, I'm aiming to build a small, clean and custom gaming machine which essentially will look pretty on the dining room table and not like a gargantuan zombie killer dominating my living space. Pretty much a steam box or something like that. This will be my 2nd build and i'm on a learning curve for some things, but all the same its very exciting.
This is going to be totally overkill and expensive but its something i've always wanted to do so i've budgeted accordingly. Essentially all the components for this are going to be a tight fit and for this build I want to have the cabling especially tidy. While the case offers plenty of options for cable management to tie them cleanly out of the way I still feel the length of atx cables are too long for the most part, and the bottom bay looks terribly messy even with cable management. So I'm looking for custom cabling to specified lengths. I've been to usual suspects (http://www.cables4pc.co.uk/ http://www.moddiy.com/) but they do pretty standard cabling sets and not really what i'm after.
Can anyone recommend a custom cable builder for this?
hehe i'm so excited for this over the top build, to get an idea here's the stuff:
i5-4670k or i7 (havent really decided) probably an i7 4770k for more OC but for this its not really going to utlise the i7 to its full capacity hence the i5 possible choice instead,
Corsair H100i cpu cooler,
ASRock Z87E-ITX mini mb,
2 x 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 2400,
2 x Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD (Raid 0)
2 x WD 3 TB (Red edition) HD (Raid 1)
Evga Geforce GTX 780Ti 3GB (may go for the superclocked version at 1ghz)
Corsair 250D ITX Mini Case,
RM 550w 80+ Gold Cert atx power supply,
Windows 8.1 (I'm also going to have 2 more ssd's set aside with UB OS as windows is bleh),
I'm replacing all the stock fans with Noctua for silence. 140mm front, 2x120mm for radiator and i'm going to mod the case a little with a custom bracket to hold a 120mm on the back for exhaust. The case does allow for 2x80mm fans but i've checked the rig with GTX 780i + H100i and they will not fix but there is plenty of space in between to get a 120mm smack in the middle without impeding on mobo or other components,
and of course the requested custom made to fit cabling to make it look spanky. May even throw some strip lighting on top panel to illuminate stuff.
Looking forward to your thoughts and if anyone can recommend the cable guy?!

Should be an interesting project.
