Stupidly I didn't take photo's of the whole build, however the CPU cooler failed so that needed to be replaced today.
My OCD went into overdrive when I realised I was two zip ties short
The offending failed cooler (dead pump as far as I can tell).
Unicorn vomit to the max!
My OCD in full effect

I can still remember brazing barbs onto a skyline heater core...

Looking good!
I can say with great certainty that each and every computer I build since the 90s are utter visual shambles in comparison. (My personal low is represented by a faded vanilla box with the Batman's Revenge mainboard and the infamous Pentium processor that gives the wrong answer for certain calculations. I didn't return it - in 100 years it might be a fun oddity for someone)

Looks great Smashie!
I started off just plugging stuff in whenever/wherever I could, but soon developed some cable management OCD myself when stuff got tangled when I tried to replace components. I feel your pain!

Nice build.
The PC I have just put together has the neatest cabling I have ever done. Not quite as neat as yours, but it's in a non widowed case so no-one can see.
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

Can you adopt me, and build me a new PC?
Nicely spec'd, clean build!

Cheers Guys, The cabling is a nightmare. Wait till you see the one I've done for myself
As for adopting, err no, sorry. You wouldn't want me as a dad anyway, I'm very uncompromising

You wouldn't want to see my cable mismanagement.
