Mods:
No mods as such but thats cus i love this PC as it is but i have added a blue light and changed the cooler on my X1900XTX as its runs very HOT.

the akasa evo 120 keeps my cpu around 33 idle n 40 is most i ever seen playin games

Nothing special as you can see but this little beauty is my baby nothing OTT specs wise but no game has made her sweat yet not even stalker (great game though :p). I love the case the P160 always seemed great lookin to me so never wanted to change the case I know the cables need tidying and they will be but she hasnt had much love of late due to my new Xbox 360 and 37" TV but this pc has been through a lot of changes and still does me proud. Just wanted to share her with the world so she knows she is still loved . Any advice would be grateful be honest but not too Harsh ;)

8 for me. I think your cables are just fine, never put too much tension in the cables.

very nice setup, very similar spec to mine actually.

I also agree cant always put too much tension on the cables as it can damage them and also put force on your connector headers.

voted an 8, good job!!
