Soldering XLR

Time to pass all the wires through the junction box and to start the hard job of soldering everything inside these boxes.

There is not lot of space inside these, but again, with patience and perseverance, I got there in the end.

I used rubber grommets to make pass the wires through the bottom of junction box

Now I had to solder the different XLR connector to all the wires spreading from the junction box: five for the 24-pin ATX connector, two for the PCI Express connector and one for the 4-pin 12v power connector.

The XLR connectors will connect into their sockets mounted on a piece of red acrylic.
