PICs of my install, need advice –

so this is as far as i've gotten so far. installed wires XWVUTSRQP. and i'm not sure if what i've done so far is ohk.
i haven't soldered anything to the back of the board yet.
i'm using 28 gauge wire and to my disapointment. i can't fit all of it through that little hole so i spilt two wires off, P and Q through a hole above section E. I just wanted to verify that that's oh k before i solder it down on the back.
all's i'm looking out for are the chips when routing and screw holes.
i really have no idea what i'm doing, just looking at a picture of Loys' install and following his routes. oh man. i hope this doesn't fuk up. been double checking all my solder points.
um, not sure, but did certain wires have to be off the mobo? i've just got mine all laid flat on the mobo and am gonna hot glue em down once i get the oh k. will show pics of everything before i put this bitch back together.
oh yah. v 9, DM3

i've bolded part of the quote above as i think you are going to find it very difficult to solder 28 gauge wire to the vias underneath the moutherboard- i usually go ith 30 awg kynar or enammalled 33 awg (unless you are talking about swg gauges which are even thicker for equiv. no.'s). Other than that - install looks quite neat and well kept away from noisy bga's - but remember wires E & D usually present the biggest prob. - if laid flat or sepeartely then all is ok - loy's installs are amoung the best and if followed there shouldnt be a prob.
i recommend you place the dms3 like i have HERE you want the shortest wires as possible for the bios, this method will eliminate any inference with the bios wires.
