Another two updates!


I decided to try out ModDIY to see what cables they could custom make, since they had an option offering custom sleeved cables. Pretty glad that I did! Grey cable sleeving on shorter cables make the HDPlex 160W look phenomenal and perfect for the S4 Mini. I decided to leave the cables "un-zip-tied" so that it looks more "natural" as they rest on the backside of my 1060. Only issue is that I may have asked for a tad too long of a 8-pin CPU power cable.

I got feet. Now the feet don't necessarily match the S4 Mini's type of finish (brushed vs. bead-blasted, I'm assuming). However, since they're on the bottom, and also silver, I figured I'd just deal with it. The feet are actually meant for mechanical keyboards, and purchased from switchtop (switchtop.com). I actually love the rubber bottoms that actually touch the surface. It helps with vibrations and sound dampening, and lifting the S4 Mini does provide for better cooling performance. The only alteration that I did was that I added M4 washers as well as used button-top hex screws made of stainless steel, for strength as well as for the flat bottom of the head. Note that the feet come with screws which are cone-shaped on the bottom of the screws. The M4 washer is actually a tad too small for the S4's skyslots, but with careful eyeballing and lightly tightening, they stay in place extremely tightly. The washer is a must!
