Post your "rate my cables" here

Hey! some nice jobs here!

I was wondering if any1 had seem like a ridgid molex to pci-e gfx converter. I only have 1 on my current psu :( or would I have to shorten a splitter/extension?

your best off getting a psu with pci-e then using adapters...same reason you dont want a 20>24 pin adapter

That must be restricting so much air, the fan grill, the mesh behind it and the load of dust covering the air holes..
 
That's awesome.. been lookin for one of those heatsinks.. magnetized to place where ever you need to cool the case.



[note] not being serious :p



Nice job on the rest of the PC though...

Heheh. Thats so the 5 1/4" bays don't overheat. :)

One of the reasons I really like the Antec cases is that cable management seems to be a lot easier. Mounting the hard disks sideways allows for the power and SATA cables to be routed to the back of the case, plus the cage has a sort of metal cable guide. Makes me wanna ditch the Praetorian for a P180 case.

lol, yeah, my case temps were high so I mounted that on the side. :p

That's also why I chose the P160. Cable management, cooling and sound levels.

It's been perfect.

I also like the white fan on the XP-90 :)

Not hidden, but clean IMO.

Yeah, it isnt to tidy, but it looks the place, maybe a silver or black cable tie to make it look like the cables are ment to be there? as a bunch? i dunno, just a random suggestion when i looked at it lol :p

Nothing wrong with that though...at times I can appreciate wiring jobs where the wires are properly placed instead of completely hidden, if it's done with proper taste and arranged nicely.

dolphumous, a few zip-ties here and there would help you out a fair bit...and instead of stretching the line all the way from the PSU to the video card, get a molex -> pci-e power adapter and run it off one of the lines going to your hard drives. In terms of what is electronically more sound and "proper" it would make sense to use a dedicated PCI-E line for the card, but I'm more the type to lean towards the side of things that'd be throwing in the power adapter to make myself just a little bit more pleased with the look of things. If you don't agree then that's fine, but it's a thought.
 
Well now that I have it all set up I'm happy with it. Air comes in the front vent (The only opening) and across the HD's and exits the back. I hid stuff behind the Hd's and PSU so it would have better airflow.

I'd also feel nervous putting my OC'd 7800GT on a regular molex shared with my HD's.

I did think about a few zip-ties though. :)

Fair enough...it was a suggestion...not the smartest move in the world, but it'd still clean things up a bit. ;)

heres mine, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Not TOO bad, there's not nearly as many cables behind the mobo tray as there needs to be, and if you got "handy" you could route quite a bit under/behind the mobo and the tray with a couple planned cuts to the tray.

All in all not bad, still some work you could do by utilizing the mobo tray a bit more...but a whole lot more would probly require some cutting.

sleeving the psu wires and making a hole for the cdrom ide cable, and weaving it through so it doesnt even hit the floppy drive area would make it better

why didnt you make the holes under the mobo?

All cables were built by hand from parts ordered from performance-pcs.com and my local hardware store. I started by chopping the cables at the PS and building each cable run by hand. All fan cables were unsoldered from the fan and built from new cable to custom lengths. USB cables were built from scratch to custom lengths for the front panel connections and VFD.

Nice cable work. :D
