When I first set up my rig:

Love that cable management. The rig can be the fastest in the world but if it looks like a tangle web then it not for show.

Ghetto mod that wont ever be seen except for online as it faces the wall. I wasn't the most concerned with it.

Found out my case was causing my mobo to short out some...so time to replace it.

Well, my monitor puked too, so I upgraded to a 19" Widescreen Samsung.

Nice, clean wire management... I cant wait to tear my rig apart for wcing, gonna paint and reroute all the cables

 

[blairellis]

Everything is up and running in the new case with the rear fan grill cut out as well. Flows some decent air with the 2x Yate Loons in there, not to mention pretty quiet as well.

I'll get some pics up at some point here.

Thinking about adding another Gig of the same ram, another HD and going RAID 0 or 1 (can't decide yet) and throwing some SATA opticals in, but not sure about the last part. If ya'll got some oppinions, throw them out there.

nice case.
love the cable management in the last one.
wheres the pics of the inside of this one?

 

[blairellis]

Haven't taken any yet as I'm not done with the management you grew to love in the other one

 

[blairellis]

Decided to post it as is. I'll get around to the wire cleanup stage at some point

 

[blairellis]

Just hooked up a spare 15" next to my widescreen 19" pretty cool. Guess I gotta go get another 19". I thought I was pretty much done spending money on this rig...gah. That is all.

How is that monitor as I was thinking about getting a new one...

And great work.. i like the case a lot

Is that monitor certified for Mandriva too? hehe.

Excellent wire management, even without a window... I never take the time to make them that neat, too tedious for me.

 

[blairellis]

Whoops...

I must have slipped with my clicking finger. This is on its way now. Darn

 

[blairellis]

Removed the "front panel inputs" from the top and cleaned up my case wiring. Took a few pics of the results.
