LN2 is pretty cheap. Same price or cheaper than milk per gallon.

Since I'll be cleaning and redoing my water loop in the next week or two, I've decided to go all out anal with cable management and ordered some extra cable tie bases and 5m of sleeving(in blue). Gonna get those ugly front IO cables sleeved.

Here's what my case currently looks like(old pic, but all that's changed is I've sleeved and relocated the UV cathodes, added in a couple more SSDs and removed the sound card in favor of toslink):

The rear of the Raven RV02 doesn't have enough cable tie mounts, leading to this mess:

Yep. I have 20 of them on order. Hopefully I can route the cables around the sides and leave the space in the centre for SSDs(held on with velcro).

Heavy. It's well thought out though, as long as you don't noob out and put stuff in that won't fit. The realatively vibration islocated hard drive racks are nice, as is the single hot-swap bay you get. Water cooling it is a bit on the iffy side given the odd layout. I also had to reduce the fan speeds as the stock AP-18s are quite loud, even on low. The window on the right hand side of the case(from the front) is a odd decision.

If I had one thing to add, it'd be making the top of the case dust filtered as well, if the PC is off, dust can fall into the case. As a result my PC is rarely off and when it is, it has a dust blanket on top.
