The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
I see you "painted" your case lately huh?

awesome. Everything in that picture is ghetto.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
I got tired of the dust coming in from the holes in the side and front, so I taped a pillow case over them.GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Why do you keep buying GTX295s if you just end up replacing them with the X800?
I built it 2 years ago next month, so its showing its age now. I am going to have to keep it for a good while longer though, I can't afford to build a new one lol.

I'm not sure which amuses me more, my new monitor stand or my old Tt Cyclo fans, they both get peoples attention lol.
Excuse my shitty carpet, it temporary til I get a new one...

Finally did something with my cable management:) A pic of some guys stacker or whatever it was inspired me!

Not a bad job if I do say so myself:)

About to say I hate cable's, but good job +1
You can do better reaper, but better. But its not like anyone will see it because your case doesn't have window and they don't affect airflow.... Still do it, do it naooo

That'll do for now! When I get this WD Black tomorrow I'll try see what else I can do.

That's as good as I can get without longer/shorter SATA cables.

When doing cable management, my guideline is to make is look at neat and minimalistic as possible. The less chaos in the wires, the less random the path of air from the front of the case to the back; hence better airflow. For example, grab the front panel wires (lights/switches and audio/usb if possible), zip tie them together and try to keep them together for as long as possible. Same idea as what you've already done with the 24pin power brick and the PCIe power. The front panel fan power could probably sneak behind the HDD drive bay, provided you can slip the connector between the front panel and the drive bay.
In general, try and make everything invisible. The less wire you can see when you look at the open side of the case, the better airflow will be.
At the LANs I usually go to, everyone has a case that has "gamer" or "LAN Monster" in its name and about 17 different CCFL/LED bricks in it, and they all say its fucking wonderful. Yet, my P182 has none of the above and usually garners most attention because it's clean. Next time I can, I'll get another picture because that's dirty compared to after I put a bit more time in to it.

May I make a few suggestions?IrishGrimReaper wrote:

The most important thing is that you bundle wires together. Instead of having 6 wires all loosely laying there, cable tie them so it is one bundle. Your FP connector wires are just kind of dangling there, cable tie them. The red SATA cable on the bottom is very very ugly, especially with the loop. What I would do is try to tuck it behind the 3.5" bay and then have only enough visible to connect to the mobo. You could bundle that with the other FP wires too. Same goes for the grey SATA on the bottom.
What you should really do is take your motherboard out and make a few holes in the motherboard tray so that you can route the wires under it and have them pop up where they need to be plugged in. That's the cleanest way.
Looks better than the first pic though.
EDIT: @Defiance: That's pretty nice. The only thing I don't like is the few stragglers in the top left, and that bent molex from the ODD (not much you can do there though).

I welcome the suggestions, but I'll look more into then when I'm sober tomorrow Thank's CrazeD!

tbh reaper, its not like you are going to be showing it off in a museum or that anyone would see the insides even at LAN party because your case doesn't have window like mine, so just go gaming bitch <3
I could improve my cable management a bit but because effects on airflow are none and its pretty tidy already, (you can't really expect to get on same level as modular PSU with solid cable one) cba to do that knowing I keep changing HW so often doing overkill cable management overy 3 weeks doesn't sound great idea.

I spent the day doing cable management and installing and testing my WC, only to promptly kill my OS.... sucks balls...GC_PaNzerFIN wrote:

Here you can see the my cables totally exposed. With sidepanel on you can see only the motehrboard tray area + the PSU. Moved the cablemess from top to behind mobo tray and from 5.25 bay to the unused HDD cage. Out of sight, out of harassing my airflow.
(the fan wire going over the mobo is yet to be hidden. CBA to do that since its the first to go anyway when I get new graphics card.)
