CPU, Memory and CPU cooler. Everything else is waiting here for the goodies to arrive. The 3 items are in or going in the mail, so they should arrive next week.

Just went back a few pages and looked at your rig. You didnt do a bad job, doing cable management on regular mid towers with no holes to pass cables is a PITA. But you aren't trying hard enough :D:nutkick:

Check out my AMD cruncher. ITs a regular mid tower with no holes for cables. imma go snap the pics right now, i'll post in five.

AhokZYashA Jul 4, 2009 06:30 PM

thanks...
going to re-route the cables soon...
my PSU is a crap..
their cables are not sleeved...
so it's just hanging around like that..

my cables neither. But if you don't want to waste money and time on sleeving and heatshrink etc, you can always use alternatives that don't look great, but at least hide the wires neater than just non sleeved piece of crap wiring :D

Heres my AMD cruncher. Dont mind that wire in the back, I just wanted to get it out of the way for the picture.

that wire wrap I bought, they sell it 1/2inch and even bigger, I wish I had some to wrap the bunch that comes out of the PSU, just gotta go get some. Once you figure out where you are going to route your wires get some and wrap them, it helps to maintain things organized and cleaner :toast:

AhokZYashA Jul 5, 2009 06:20 PM

after some re-routing

still just too crappy to see...
so i just have blinded side panels...
:lol:

Looks good! But could be a lot better if you broke out a drill and made some holes to route wires behind the motherboard.

what? man I made them with a flat head screwdriver and a hammer :laugh:, you ever saw my antec 900 when it housed the AMD rig?



Well one thing that is killing him is the IDE cable :eek: get it out of there now!!!!

Thrackan Jul 5, 2009 06:28 PM

Or fold it, IDE cables can be done pretty tightly when folded.

folded? for some reason can't picture that :confused:

AhokZYashA Jul 5, 2009 06:30 PM

that freaking IDE cable...
hmm..
buying a DVD-RW SATA soon
20 bucks here...
so both opticals will be screwed and replaced by a DVD-RW...
CCFL's are nowhere to be found here
both of my ODD are IDE based...
fold it???
afraid to broke it..

BrooksyX Jul 5, 2009 06:39 PM

IDE cables arn't to hard to tuck away and stuff. I have even seen people sleeve them.

Here is mine right now. I would like to sleeve it eventually but it isn't to bad for the time being:

http://img.techpowerup.org/090704/4.jpg

I can hardly notice the IDE cable up there in the top right corner.

AhokZYashA Jul 5, 2009 06:45 PM

anyway...
going to throw in a DVD-RW SATA in it...
so, no problem...
about that freaking IDE cable...
man...
I rrreeaallyy hate that IDE cable just hanging around with no place to hi them

Nah, I flat-folded one a while ago, I'll see if I can still pix of it.

There you go. Not that tightly folded but you get the idea right?

Th0rn0 Jul 5, 2009 06:53 PM

Buy rounded IDE cables. They look pretty cool. Or you can split them and fold. Or even braid them.

AhokZYashA Jul 5, 2009 06:57 PM

rounded IDE cable are nowhere to be found here in indonesia...

so i'll just buy a SATA DVD-RW..

Th0rn0 Jul 5, 2009 07:02 PM

Oh your in Indonesia, fair enough. You could always import from America or the UK.
