RJ, I demand some more well lit pictures! 

OK here is a picture with flash. The red indicates areas I cleaned up today and yesterday. The blue indicates areas I wish to improve upon.
 

it's gettin cleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan 

AMD Threadiripper could be find for very nice price on Ebay.
Only i7-6900K and i7-6950X no one want to sell for some nice offer.
People ask 500$ for broken not working i7-6950X, what they think someone to do with them I don't know.
i9-7900X could be find for arround 600-650-700$, i7-6950X no way below 1000$.
 
 

Getting along very nicely RJ.
Keep it up

RJ your RIG is now twice powerfull than Ryzen.
I see you inacrease and memory size, our favorite kit, Dominator Platinum.
How much you payed 64GB and which model you choose?
 
I use Dominator Platinum from 2012 and DDR3,
and they are so beautifull that I didn't had problem to choose again and for DDR4 to look on them. 
If CORSAIR launch again special edition 3200MHz but now with C10 or C11 they will sell all of them.
 

I like to wheel and deal since I am on a budget. I found a person who was willing to trade half of their 128GB Dominator memory kit in exchange for my old AND RYZEN motherboard and CPU

That was excellent deal because memory is very expensive special if you have plan to replace platform.
You choose ASRock board, I hear a lot of problem with ASUS Zenith Extreme. 
There is topic on overclock.net customers are angy on ASUS and officially ask to resolve problems.
That's one of problems, motherboards not work with more than 64GB and many people who want Threadripper bought him with plan to use 128GB.
X299 is dissapointment, no Xeons, thermal paste, crippled PCI-E lanes.
I mean it's not complete dissapointment but they could done that much better. 
Anyway you pay 1000$ and AMD have better offer for 1000$. 
Good thing is to wait to Intel switch to LGA 3647 and than to invest in cheap 12-14 cores and OC them. 
When LGA3647 show up i9-7980XE price drop on 1000$ instantly and used motherboards on 250-300$. Now they cost 500-600$.
Than for 1000-1200$ you will be able to build same as people pay now 2500$.
I will not move from X99, I carefull look gaming performance of i7-6900K and i7-6950X and their fps on same clock as Skylake-X are better, that's insane. It's not better when they compare 4.3GHz vs 3.7.
But i7-6900K on 4.3GHz give better fps in games than i7-7820X on 4.3GHz.
I will install watercooling and wait i7-6950X.
 

 
When I replace 28 PCI-E lanes with 40 PCI-E lanes and I will use one GPU I will have enough PCI-E lanes for more M.2.
That's only advantage of X299 for now.
About real improvement we could talk after DDR5 and PCI-E 4.0 show up, both on same platform. 
Performance from this video clip show me only one thing... That i9-7900X is not worth changing high end motherboards if you have platform compatible with i7-6950X. That's fact, special if you have watercooling to push him on 4.2-4.3 or silicon limit. 
I don't say Skylake-X is not better, I say it's not worth investing 450-600$ for motherboard.
 
 

Today until you find perfect parts... gambling.
Marketing 90%, 10% everything else.  
Our hype, of people who like ROG design increased price of Rampage Extreme to almost 700$.
No most of people who like that board and who know to enjoy in them can't afford them.
When I saw price silence was my reaction, that was moment when I knew even If I find i9 for 500 euro I will not have that board. 

I did some work on the inside too. Today the internal blu-ray has been removed as I have a portable USB 3.0 Blu-ray player. The rear 120mm fan removed and replaced with a Corsair red. A little bit more cable management. More work needed but that's enough for today.

In my cable management on back side is absolutely perfect, same as front...
The best of all is because all cables are naturally stay, I didn't force them and put pressure on them to bend.
 
 

The build looking pretty darn good to me, nice job. 

The more SSD/HDD/Drive bays you have, the worse it is to make cable management on the back of the chassis.
That's why I'm putting only m.2 SSD on my next build.
The less cables, the cleaner it will get.
Depending on how many fans you have, it's easier to adapt a fan hub to minimize the route of the cables on the front and the back.

That's a very good idea and now that AMD supports M.2 raid on Threadripper my future idea was to put two M.2's in raid and leave the Corsair SSD 480GB drive as backup. I should then be able to rip out some more wires.

Rj you are satisfied with CORSAIR ML, probaly they left some nice impression?
I hear from reliable sources, few people say it's best fans they ever used.
But they use as radiator fans.
Cable management is now perfect. 
 

Good fans and my fan controller only needs to be set to the lowest setting. I wouldn't say my cable management is perfect but definitely better than the spaghetti mess it was before.

The corsair ML fans are hands down the best fans i have used, the pro ones have leds but function the same other wise. They do have some new rgb versions but the pressure and cfm are down.
At full load i run my ml's right around 40% and on a cool day when just doing regular stuff like video or surfing the net they drop down as low 500rpm, crazy how much air and pressure with so little noise they generate.

Once I get another M.2 or three I will set up a RAID NVMe and rip out the HDs and see if I can get the cabling in better shape.

Nice! That would be crazy fast.
