holy crap people, he wasn't ripping on the guy for using an 80mm fan just his argument for using it. If he had said it's all i have this whole conversation would never have happened

I have 4 80mm fans in my case and only 120mm can we argue about that too??
Seriously get over it.

Yeah I really like the way that looks. Not sure what it is, but I've always loved the look of the inside of that case. And well done on the wires.

Replaced old cooling setup for push/pull fans after I found a front fan bracket for my True for $5 locally.
Here's a case mod I'm currently working on. My PSU cables were too long, so I shortened them and desoldered the one I didn't need. It's a tiny case, so I did this to give me some moderate cable management. 
BEFORE:
AFTER:
CURRENT. Sleeved. Still putting things together:
I've still got more work to do, getting the cable secured and the modded case fully assembled. But so far so good!

"the modded case fully assembled"... i suppose it's custom ?
It's a Gateway mATX he chopped extensively, rebuild, replaced parts of the front panel, spraypainted everything, rebuild parts of the internals... so yeah. Custom.

Where did you get those speaker stands? I have the same speakers, just need some stands. right now they're sitting on Xbox 360 game cases lol
Very clean btw!
Thanks! I made them; just some spare wood and whatnot.
Aw crap
They look really well done. I wish I had woodworking skills or tools to even attempt it.

If it still doing what you need then it's fine. I upgrade about every 5 years.

I only got the 6950 cause it was getting too hot in the room with the machine in it. I suspect I'm the only person to do this ever...
4890 x 2 noise wasn't bothering me, performance was still very solid at 1920x1200 and DX11 wasn't that compelling, but the fact the room was getting so hot that my beer wouldn't stay cold... that was bothering me.

Yea it's running great. Still running 3.2ghz on the E6400.
No one likes a hot machine and a warm beverage.
What about flame throwers and coffee ?
Sorry, I had to....
I just built this for our office its going to be "my" sandbox for virtual machines to complete some whitepapers (Hyper-V FTW!). 2 more sticks of ram and 2 more hard drives show up on Monday
I have been wiring like this in zero cable management cases for years. Any suggestions are always appreciated, or just say its perfect and pad my huge ego lol

For what you're working with, it's perfect. There, your ego just got a little bigger.
I was joking on the ego portion but thank you anyways
I hate wiring in these small ATX Antec cases with no cable management to speak of. They are falling so far behind features wise to other case manufacturers they need to update their line up quick.

Built this guy a few months ago, I could have done better with some modding, but as it wasn't built for myself, didn't want to shorten cables or anything. took every trick I had to hide all I could.

Awesome!
For the love of God, PLEASE PM me some picture of the cable behind the motherboard. I have the same case, and I don't have a modular PSU. It's a rats nest back there!
I'll post picture of mine later.

Here is a build with that case. You have also a pic from backside of the case.Something I made for a friend in a CM 690II.
For a second I thought it was my roommate re-posting a picture of my case. - http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037038625&postcount=9637
Yours is cleaner. Was it just me, or was the EPS12V connector really hard to run due to the side panel rail? Do you have a picture from the back? I'm curious how you ran everything.
