XFX 8800gts 320

Mods:
Cable management; i did my best but small cases are hard...Sleeved and shrink wrapped fan cables, front panel connectors and fp usb. Also added some insulating padding to reduce noise in the case and side panel.

my dad basically wanted a cheap, cool and quiet pc that could be used partially as a htpc as well as a for video editing and general use, with a budget of around 450usd or 3000kuai. built in a few days.

Nice good cable managment. But is too simple. try some mods i think should be look better.
 
yeah, i know i would have loved to have blacked out the interior and maybe added a window for the side panel....but i probably should have mentioned i had a week to buy all the parts and put it together before my dad took it back with him to aus... so that left maybe a weekend to build it install os, drivers and software...
 
I like it, clean and simple. Great job on the cable management for a small case. 7/10
 
I voted 10/10 because:

10/10. It doesn't matter if you don't have a ton of mods done to the rig. The fact that you took your time to neatly arrange the cables and make it look nice and clean deserves a 10 :)
 
i think aquariuz is the best in the votes (...........)
