System Specs: » Antec 1200 » Antec Truepower Quattro 850W » Intel E8400 » Zalman 9700 led » EVGA 780i mobo » Corsair Dominator 2x2gb 1066 with fan » WD Caviar SE16 640gb » Samsung DVD R/W 22x » EVGA 7800gt
Performed Mods: Added a on/off switch for the cathode to where the water tubing would normally go. Just did some basic cable management.
This was my first computer build back in August. Took me till January to finally do some cable management. Please let me know what you think and offer some pointers, or just laugh at my system's paltry video card. :)

I am uploading the pics now actually, but it is taking a very long time. The new vid card will have to wait a bit till a get some $$.

Edit..... I have to readjust the size of my images so the pics won't be there yet. :(
Until then, the images are available at my worklog.

Edit.... The pics are finally up.

Who says he plays games and needs the latest graphics card?

I thought this forum was for "case mods", not the latest hardware!

Okay fine maybe he doesn't need a new video card. but an older video card is still going to bring down his score. The 7800gt is crap by todays standards.

Does anyone know if I can get an pin extension cable? The cable I have that extends from the PSU to the mobo has absolutely no slack whatsoever. Also does anyone know if they sell a 3 pin to 2 pin wire extender for the cathode lights? Thanx a lot for any responses. And if you have any suggestions on how I can do a better job of cable management please let me know.

Regarding the 7800gt, I know it kills my FPS and benchmarks, but I'm saving up some $ for a 9800gt. Eventually I will save more $$ and get a GTX200 class card.

What's Up with all the dust.....
I cleaned it after I took the pictures. I apologize. lol. I was in a rush to take the pics after I completed everything. I probably should have dusted it beforehand. Noted for next time. :)
