James Mods: Seasonic AURA MODDED Build (4) Final BUILD!

Today James finishes the Seasonic AURA build that was held back a little by some COVID supply issues in recent months. Its been a long project, but we wanted to get this live just in time for the Christmas holidays.
In the final instalment of the Seasonic Aura custom build project we take a look at how to make custom power cables, mod the front panel cables of the Fractal Define 7 XL case and put the finishing touches on the system by installing all the wiring and building the custom loop as well as adding a few final touches with more LED lighting and improved laser cut panels.
