Took these for your viewing pleasure during my decks routine cleaning. It's nekkid in the first one.

Ok, so maybe my carpet isn't that sexy. But the keyboard sure is nice!

Not seeing the 1st 2 pics.

How do you go about cable management like this?

By cutting, crimping and sleeving my own custom length cables. Its extremely tedious and time consuming but I kind of enjoy the process. Once I finished the cables I used P clips on the back of the motherboard tray to create small bundles and then used cable combs to fan out the wires and make them look perfect.

Might as well include a couple of in progress shots since I think these qualify for this thread.

It looks amazingly neat and tidy...and sexy. Basically it looks worth the effort, but every time you need to refit something or add a piece of hardware, is it a pain to readjust the cables?

Can you PM me a list of all the parts you need and maybe some links that are useful?

Not exactly a clean board, just a quick lens test from the other day. Do like the copper\blue\white on black though.

I really liked the white/blue/copper scheme of that era. I had a Maximus Formula. That was a beautiful board. I think it would have been even sexier with a matte black PCB though.

New clothes for the D5, will be using my Blue 250 Bitspower res though.

Looking forward to seeing how much the rubber clamp reduces noise, i think it should almost eliminate it.

Now i see them, nice, More so seeing that the shift keys and suchare backed up with fake switches. Some thing i really like about thew MK Pro as they did not skimp on quality.

I dunno man, I never noticed any key wobble so maybe it was a sensible skimp. I do think the Deck Legend that came before this had real key switches in that place but I didn't even notice the difference, and I've owned both.

The Deck Legend also cost an arm and a leg back in the day, and this one is decently affordable, and still has pretty good quality. The Legend was also assembled in America and the Hassium is built in Hong Kong. Honestly that bothers me a bit more than the false switches, being a part of team America.

The PBT doubleshot backlit keycaps are a thing of beauty though. No they don't back light perfect but they are still awesome and will NEVER wear out, and believe me I try, lol.

AsRock · Sep 20, 2015

Well to make sure their is no miss understanding here i am more up for the fake switches or even switches there, as when they use crappy metal bars or even crappy plastic clips putting those rubber to silent key presses can become a real nightmare real fast.

All so if i ever got another mech keyboard with those metal bars or clips it be going right back were it came from on day one, which one of the reasons is due to being left handed.

And yeah it bother me some too but they pay less and sound like you payed less for it in the end.

And same here these key caps on my MK Pro are way above the quality of the Razer BW i have, the razer one have started to have a a bubbling effect to them now and to think i barely used it before it started to fail in so many departments.

Sorta. It's actually only like 20 bucks difference. But the dollar was worth more back then by a longshot.

I've heard the same thing about the razer keycaps, but I'd better shut up and get more pics to stay on topic, lol.

I'm a fan of the red and black MSI GPU there. Color scheme is one I have always been a sucker for.

RealNeil · Sep 20, 2015

Those MSI GPU shots are great!

What is the D5? I have no idea what this is!

khemist · Sep 22, 2015

It's a pump for watercooling, the two main ones are the D5 and DDC..

marmiteonpizza · Sep 22, 2015

One day I shall advance to watercooling...one day.
Is it a scary processes to start?

Depends how advanced you want to go. It's easy if you plan a lot beforehand. Doing it off the cuff, buying a tonne of gear, can get real messy real fast.
