Just wondering if anyone else is worried about space within the case. I've finished guides 1-4 and beginning to think there is no way this case is ever going to close. Not sure if I am keeping my wires too long, using too much glue, or just rushing things, but at the moment the case will only close with a bit of pressure (didn't put the screws in yet).

Wermy's looks flawless, whereas mine currently looks like a kid wearing a blindfold and trying to color within the lines :| I'd hate to get to the end just to find out it can't close and I need to start over.

Use 30 awg wire and 26 for power, keep the wire short and make sure your positioning is good so no parts collide

I also reccomend small gauge wire like konnor mentioned. Also, use stranded wire, not solid core, and silicone coated wire is also a nice option. I personally use 28ga silicone wire for everything.

I know what you mean about closing the cases though. Some of my first builds were a challenge to close. If it won't close you'll just have to reevaluate your wiring and placement. Sometimes it's just a matter of slightly moving items around.

Got any pics?
