Hard disks and more cable tidying

After having discarded the expansion slot hard drive caddy idea, I needed to work out how the two hard disks would fit into the case.

I tried various combinations of connectors and locations to find which was was the best to use in what would be a very confined space.

The switch gear was fitted to the back of the main wiring channel. A small tube was cut up for the four wires running from the 8-pin EPS12V connector.

Covers were also made for the graphics card and the 24-pin ATX connector. The graphics card fan shroud was re-painted to provide a better match with the colour scheme, and a small plexiglass support was made and attached to the lower fan mount to prevent the heavy graphics card from drooping.
