Does your order’s tracking info also say shipment cancelled?Looks like you were lucky. I ordered a set of custom cables from AliExpress on November 14th. A month and a half later, still no cables.
It has a tracking number, but it says "tracking information is temporarily unavailable" since the get go. Looks like my first experience with Aliexpress will be my last.
I just finished opening a dispute on my order. It doesn’t have an option to refund the shipping cost.
Are you trying to reclaim your performance per liter title?View attachment 132960
Card is probably 2mm too long to fit properly but by pushing the front of the frame over I was able to install it, think I am the first to have RTX in my MI-6.

Great job! Glad to see all 3 drive spots being used, but that does mean a lot of sata cables.
I was thinking that there is a lot of unused space on the GPU side, but by that time, I already had a sata cable going under instead of over. My biggest difficulty was the sata power cables that came with my power supply. The connectors are just too fat to fit the drives that are right next to eachother, So I ended up using the molex power cable and molex to sata adapters because they were so much more thin. I might give this a re-work some time soon. I keep thinking that I want to try sticking a 4th drive in there next to the one on the bottom. If I do it, I will probably have to be stuck in there with double sided tape.
I see you went with the white Prolimatech fan on your SBS2, looks good.I was thinking that there is a lot of unused space on the GPU side, but by that time, I already had a sata cable going under instead of over.

also, apologies for the terrible photos, I'm not very good with cameras
edit: I updated my signature line to reflect my new hardware
The white version seems to be hard to come by. It even cost a few dollars more than the black, but I liked the look and I was planning on matching it with white PSU cables (until the AliExpress order fell through). Thanks for the recommendation on that fan, it’s so quiet I never hear it.
I never even saw the white when I was shopping for them, looks good. I feel bad about recommending AliExpress now, other than slow shipping I didn't have any problems with either of my orders. Too bad they weren't able to deliver, makes the build so much easier. Glad to hear your GPU is performing well.
This looks so tight! Nice fit. Guess that spices things up a bit in the PPL threadView attachment 132960

Cables look great, what lengths did you go with. It's too bad that double SATA power connector is a bit too close together, that looks great.
The 24-Pin Connector is 200mm
I was very surprised when I asked him this. First, I wanted to go with a 50mm cable between them so that I could put a little loop between the two HDDs. I asked him what the minimum distance between the two connectors is so he can still work properly, and he just said "as close as the two connectors can get to each other". So I measured the exact distance between the two drives, and from my calculations the cable length should be 3mm at that point. I guess he made them a bit too short, bit it still works very well.
It does, but I had to remove the upper plastic shroud around the fan (the one with the AMD Logo in it). The big advantage of doing so is that the LED-ring now iluminates the whole motherboard-side of the case, giving it a nice RGB shine.
No you need a 2070.
Good to hear, glad the BS2 is working out well for you. I was really worried about cooling my 8700k, even delidded with the BS2, but it works really well.
What temps do you get rfarmer? I am still looking for a good alternative to my Wraith spire, it can get a bit loud, and the 92mm fan is just too small to keep other mainboard components cool.
The Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B cooler doesn't have AM4 support.
Decided to retest last night since I hadn't run any stress tests for almost a year. Prime 95 Small FFT s, 4.30 GHz at 1.15v and ambient about 22C. Highest single core was 69C. So even after 1 year the BS2 is still doing a really good job cooling my 8700k.
Nice!
The fan height depends on the PSU you use. In my case (pun not intended), I can only fit a fan not thicker than 20mm between the bottom of the case and the lowest power-cable that comes out of my PSU (Silverstone SX800-LTI).
There are some posts in this thread about custom cable length. rfarmer mentioned his cable length in #1117, and I myself ordered custom cables too, length mentioned in #1341. I think it is necessary if you have way too long cables that could worsen your airflow, cooling performance, ability to easily work on your hardware inside your case, or even looks of the build. Especially the SATA-Power-Cables might have to be shorter, since the drives aren't that far away from the PSU as in any other case. But if you, as you mentioned, want to go for an onboard-storage-only-build, you won't have that problem.
