That CPU HSF looks like an Tuniq Tower 2 only problem with it is that it suffers the same problem as my tuniq tower 120 once installed you can't really see the blue glow of the fan unless you use a really ( scuse the profanity Phaewryn) fuck off bright LED Fan

Fuck off-ing bright works *drills extra holes in fan casing, adds more leds*

Athlonite · Sep 20, 2010, 10:07 AM

I could see How that works but with 3 180mm LED fans in my SilverStone RV02B-W case i really dont need anymore

can't even see the LEDs from the CM R4 in the tuniq tower 120

Phaewryn · Sep 20, 2010, 10:16 AM

Right. And it gets good reviews for doing it's job. I'm going to have so much UV happening in that case, led is kinda pointless anyway. But still. I like that it HAS the blue leds. How easy is it to replace the fan that cooler comes with, with a different model/brand fan. I'd put a UV LED one in there, if it weren't a major pain in the ass. It all snaps off, right?

4 little screws on top and slide the fan bracket out easy peasy then just unscrew the old fan screw on the new one replace in HS screw top on and plug it in and your done takes about ten mins tops

sweet.
o.O it's daylight already?! Damn it, I *was* going to sleep tonight.

20mmrain · Sep 20, 2010, 10:27 AM

This Is MY PC ATM Moment.... I used to not care how it looks. But lately I have had a really bad case of being OCD and almost every week I continue to make my Cable management look cleaner and cleaner. I am just the opposite from most of you guys

I even just took and hid the bottom fan this weekend. Which I think cleans it up even more while still givning me great air flow. I even found away to keep a filter on it.

Close up...

Went a little crazy with the EVGA parts dont yah think?

Here's updated pics of my rig, with better cable management

There's no room left behind the tray to hide those excess cables so i just tied them against the back panel =X

I have same rig. We can compete.

I'm gonna mount a rotating disco ball under my hard drive there in that big open space inside that cage.

Reventon · Sep 20, 2010, 09:10 PM

Same case here. It's pretty good but it needs some improvements unfortunately

Definitely worth the money though

Nice Build Bud.... Pull on those cables boss. It won't hurt them

Just don't stress the connections.
If it helps.... plan out your cabling. That is what I do.... I actually spend about 10 minutes looking at my options before doing it.
Then I do one cable at a time.... while thinking about the cable I will be a tempting next.

Thanks a million boss I appreciate it. I am considering getting some single sleeved NZXT cable extensions next to give it a little more cleanliness what do you think ???

Cold Storm · Sep 20, 2010, 10:55 PM

You know you like my back end

(FIH) The Don · Sep 20, 2010, 10:58 PM

ive heard good things about the NZXT cables,

and if youre on a budget then thats the ones you should get

there is some guy at XS who does som insanely nice sleeved extensions, but the price is also a bit high, ask Sneekypeet where he got his

could one of the americans do me a favor next month?

i want a EVGA gtx-470 backplate, but evga doesnt ship to denmark, so id ask one of you to buy me one and ship it to me, ill pay through PP ofc
