"On the CPU side; Cable management, as one would expect, was a big issue due to the limited space. This resulted in a set of custom length cables being ordered from USA. A perfect fit! You may notice the Kraken AIO cooler has the fans in reverse config to avoid any cable interference below, and allow a small amount extra tubing length to reach CPU without a stretch.

Accessories like PSU & top radiator also got painted to match colour scheme.

It took several rebuilds before I found the perfect position for all the cables, and what order to install everything to get the cleanest look. Like a puzzle... those who have installed a SFF PC know what I mean :)

The build pain was real too, lol, from getting a mainboard that doesn’t have initial BIOS support for my friggin' CPU, to the magnetic side filters (which are supposedly custom made for my case) not fitting properly without being cut to shape, to a 2-month delivery to get basic fan grills! Not to mention the endless extension cables ordered and multiple rewirings to get a decent fan/lighting layout without wires going everywhere to name a few more.

At times, it really tested my patience!"
