I like how you have your HDD's numbered

The stock cooler is more than enough for me, not really going to overclock, it's not even a BE processor.

A quick update.

My folding rig with the Silverstone 1kW modular PSU (no more wire clutter...woot!)

And the 8800 added:

Josh154 · Jan 4, 2011, 12:22 AM

Ahh look's much better

Maybe try swapping the the 8800gt with the bottom 470 so the 470 can get better airflow?

Would ahve like to do that but the 470 doesn't sit on the lowermost PCI-E because of the power/reset/hdd pins (its a long card).

Oh yeah, i forgot about that. Oh well once you get your i7 rig you can change it up

The box was beat to hell, supposedly one of the stocking staff, lost his sanity and began to smash stuff with a fire axe, this was damaged (he put the axe right through the side window) I bought it, explained my situation to Antec, and they sent me a brand new case with a new warranty.

Holy crap! That's a win on your part

I doubt my package is coming tonight. Again another fail on UPS part. I contacted newegg earlier and the only thing they could do for me is to file a claim with them after i receive the package and newegg will refund me the money from UPS.

Almost done.

Holy crap! Wire galore! Cable management was looking amazing but

Those molex connections just threw it all off.

Cable management in this case is not so good, also this just to see if everything works, if it does I will redo it into a much better configuration.

Yeah i noticed that looking at the case futher. For checking to see if everything works that's still some decent cable managment on the HDD's!

87dtna · Jan 4, 2011, 01:54 AM

Dude no come on, I'm not trying to be high and mighty here but I could gouge my eyes out and do better cable management blind. That looks like like an Antec 200 or 300 case, I had one of those for my backup PC at one time see here-

Not the greatest box for cable management but you can do WAY better than that...the 24 pin cable runs behind the hard drive cage and so to all the other sata cables etc all zip tied together. 8 pin cpu connector goes underneath the board, buy an extension if it's not long enough but I've never had too.

He's just setting it up at first to make sure everything works, then he's redoing it later

And guess what guys!? Just got my dvd burner and my RAM! Woooot! I would of never thought UPS would deliver at your door at 8:54 P.M.

[H]@RD5TUFF · Jan 4, 2011, 02:05 AM

Okay up and running, everything seems to boot, just fine, now installing the drivers.

It's an Antec DF-35, it's a bit different, and as I said, this is just to get things up and running.

87dtna · Jan 4, 2011, 02:11 AM

Ever hear of...do it right the first time?

And if everything is fine, you have to remove most of the components anyway to route the cables. Routing before you install helps you to be able to remove and reinstall hardware much easier.
