Good cable management? I think it's atrocious lol. And yeah, I'll get around to hiding those cables eventually.

My air compressors on the fritz at the moment so all I have is a brush to clean it at the moment lol.

nice rig.

do you still have the stock fan in the Scythe Kama Bay? It blows donkey balls...well actually it doesn't blow much at all. I replaced mine right away.

I know, it's pathetic. I'll get around to it eventually.

I'm working so much at the moment I just don't have the time or energy to put any real effort into my PC unfortunately. Except for the upgrade to the 3870 it actually hasn't changed in months lol.

That's what I call "Smarter Choice". Good selection of components, nice overclock. I'll give you 8/10

What I like: The Lian-Li case, the Scythe cooler, the OC to the CPU.
What I didn't: Nyaah, everything is just fine, please mention your video-card's OC (if any).

If I were to vote I would have to give you a 5 or 6 right now. Good selection of parts for a simple and practical build, but they're just slapped together with very little attention to neatness. I'm going to withold my vote for now since you mentioned you still have work to do. I'll keep an eye out for progress.

Mind if I ask what you mean by little attention to neatness?

As for carlos, this is an ENGLISH speaking forum, post in English or you will be ignored.

2 things mainly. First off, and it might just be the lighting and camera angle making it look worse than it actually is, you need to dust out the case. Second, the cables can be made considerably neater.

If you want the highest votes form viewers, you need to take a lot of time prepping your rig for the photos. Look at it like getting a car ready for a car show... lots of detail work to get the oohs and aahs.

Comprende senior? HAHA

Dusty, yeah I know. Finally got a replacement for my compressor so I'll give it a good clean today.

Cables....well have you actually ever seen my case in person? I know I need to neaten up the bottom section, take up the slack etc. but the rest of the cables are about as neat as they are going to get. There is just no where to put the cables. No removable motherboard tray. No holes in motherboard tray. So everything has to be routed behind the 5.25" bays, or across the motherboard itself for some of the shorter cables, like the 8-pin power :(

It looks amazingly impressive to me -- otherwise, I wouldn't have voted!

i love those lian-li cases. their cheap, no frills, and easy to mod. plus stock they look nice. Good system specs, i like it nice and simple. 8/10. Only gripe, you need to manage those cables a bit more. they won't constrict airflow but.. make it look pretty ;)
