Post your "rate my cables" here

GPU radiator going to be able to suck up enough air? Why not swap one of the fans on the top of the case with the cpu rad, and put the gpu rad where the cpu one was?

It's in a push/exhaust configuration same with the CPU rad so it pushes through plenty of air, plus the top AF140 fans are intake along with the dual SP120s in the front so plenty of intake for both rads. The 290x tops out around 58C with the NZXT G10 when gaming :D

ok that explains it!
 
Ignore the wire along the back of the case. It will be routed under the mobo shortly.

And yes, I do need custom psu wires. Having these monster long wires in here is driving me nuts. Gotta get paid before I spend anymore money though.

updated: Added another SSD, replaced all the fans with Corsair AF140s and SP120s. I wanted max positive pressure so that's why you see the top and bottom fans as intake;)

hi there, may i know how's ur tempt. after changing it to positive pressure? and did you filter out the dust on top? have the same case and currently on negative air pressure and tons of dust starting to build up.. Btw, very neat cable management u got there.. :D

Ever thought of putting that HDD in the bay up top? It would clean up that bottom corner and you could probably get another fan in there for airflow.

I wanted to do exactly that, however the HD cage is riveted into the case and I wanted to leave some space for expanding space with more HDs down the line...I did install a fan in that 2nd intake position after that picture was taken, however.

It's always been positive pressure, but the temps are excellent using a CM Seidon 120v on the CPU and a H50 on the GPU. Only the front intake fans have filters, but most of the dust get's pushed out. Thank you! .
 
Just finished stage one of my new case. Have a bunch of water cooling stuff and few other things that are going in it soon. But it still turned out nice.

My baby's nudes are below! Her bio: It started out as a budget rig, but got upgraded along the way a few times. I was very lucky to score a 3770K that runs @ 4.8Ghz @ 1.31v and gets sufficiently cooled with a cheap CM Hyper 212 EVO even under heavy Prime95 load. I also went through 3 different MSI GeForce GTX 980 Gaming 4G cards to finally get one that overclocks decently - 1550/8000Mhz. My fans are real cheap, taken from previous case and one purchased separately, but at least they are quiet, almost silent like my videocard @ 100% fan speed. Originally I had a really cheap case - Rosewill Mid-Tower Gaming case with absolutely no way to neatly hide wires from sight. It was an ugly sucker. I finally decided to get my 1st high-end case - Corsair Graphite 760T. It was worth it and I picked it up over Enthoo Primo due to its window-door. I am glad I did!

Not bad for a cheapo budget rig if you ask me! Wire/Cable work rating = 8.5/10 IMHO!

Just finished my update, new case and SSD, parts list in my signature.

I am really tempted to move to a different power supply, something modular cables to help clean up some of the "extra";

Picked up a new PS, and re-cabled my box;

I think it turned out better, I could have used more room behind the motherboard tray though, it was tight to get the side back on.
 
How you liking the r9 290 and hg10 together?

I have in my cart a reference 290x, hg10, and a h75; for just $375!

Think I should get it?!

I like it. I have mine running with a h55. I am still working on a good fan profile. The gpu fan needs to be at 25-30 range under gaming.
 
This is my girlfriends computer.
I think she did a great job with the cable management (she had a good coach)

that case looks like it has a ton of space behind the mobo for cables, nice. I hate when i can barely get that side panel back on.
 
Finished this build last night. Ill try to get some better pictures today.

Next on the list is to re-sleeve the bare wires then watercooling down the road with some acrylic.

Thats not true, people love a showoff. Besides, all I had were pics from when I finished the loop. ;)

I know, I was so tired of messing with it by the time i finished the loop and I just wanted to see if I had fucked anything up (sent the cpu flying during the delid). I'm going to empty the loop and polish/clear them in the springtime.
 
I love how this is so much easier to do than it was 20 years ago. It allows everybody to do a bit of custom work, and allows the true modders to concentrate on thing like the custom copper tubes above.
 
20 years ago you'd be spending more time getting band-aids on your hands then trying to tuck away cables.
 
Dang these rigs are amazingly beautiful! I used to have a sweet set of corsair sleeved white cables that match well with my asus board but got rid of them. I will try to post something of mine later on

In my new Cooler Master HAF XB EVO case :), temporary until I get a 750D then the XB will be the HTPC case, this thing has awesome cable management I think. My gaming sig rig.

Definitely good cable management options in this case. Need to get a better CPU cooler, myself, but I think I managed well with what I had:

Flash/shutter is pretty ridiculous on my camera...can't even see the light from the two fans on the front. All fans are turning, btw. lol

That is normal. Fans were running on mine when I took pictures but appear still. Weird.
 
I finally have binned my Thermaltake Element V and gone with Corsair 750D. I welcome any and all criticisms; I made a concerned effort this go around. I did have an additional AF140 mounted in the bottom but yanked it out, not sure if It's going back in.
