Hmm not bad. Can we see some specs please? That's the cm690? A bit messy around the PSU though
 
Yeah its the cm690, yeah I really dunno what to do with the wires over by the PSU, I wanted to plug in the 4 pin to the MB and I have a fan plugged in over there so I really cant figure where to put those wires.
 
Looks great, nice choice of case, and thank you ever so much for spending the extra $3 dollars for the cable straps on the back of the mobo instead of using duck tape, like some people.....*cough* antec 900 case moders *cough*
 
I'm old and dumb but what's with the fan on the back of the motherboard?
 
For underneath the processor socket. It is said to reduce temps 4C or something, but I personally don't agree.
 
max out your ram. really no reason not to, as inexpensive as ddr2 is right now. (unless thats 4gig you have in there already)
 
Thanks guys. Yeah I have 4gb of ram allready....now if I can get this stupid thing to stop locking up randomnly :( Im about to think its uguru causing it.
