so, what do you think now?
I would appreciate the vote and comments...
 
looks rigged up in a none professional way. but nice hardware.
 
looks quite pro to me
 
Thats an eccentric layout, thats the first time I've seen those cathodes, make the system look like two seperate partitions. Quite unique, I like it. 9/10

Please Vote & Comment....



ANY VOTES ?...................
 
I love the night shots and the way you used your cathodes.

It looks like you have a heap of gear in there, so i take it you can't hide any more of your cables (its the next thing I need to do to mine).

If you can't the only suggestion I have is to consider sleeving them, apart from that it looks great, well done :)
 
THANKS for the vote and comments (you are right about sleaving), but I ´m done with this case. I really do not have the time....
 
7/10

Needs cabling work, case might be a bit of a dead end, maybe consider upgrading to something a bit bigger.

Considering what is stuffed in there, the wiring isn't bad, just not good.
 
8/10 i dont vote in another time because i wana see more pics and u have a great case man a big case with much space maybe u could do a better cable management and something to hide the cables in picture nº 10 we can saw cleared that the cables are crossing in front of the VGA and in other hardwares if u could hide them i will give more positive points

tks for the vote in my case.

bye if u need help im here ;)

thanks for the vote and the help offered.
btw the cables crossing are a necessary proble (snif) and I know they don't look very nice... but I show u the pc as it is, as I use it.... they are a problem...

As for the comment "i dont vote in another time because i wana see more pics", I believe you are not entirely right about not waiting to see more pictures, cause i'd rather give anyone a 9 after seeing more of the inside than give them an 8 now...
if u see my point!!

thank again,
ron

I understand u but im position i need more details and pics to vote, i dont make a critic or a sugestion if i dont know what´s happening in u mind.

Ex: u came here post 3 snaps and specifie all case and built that u do, i can give u 10 if u explain all process but if came here with 3 snaps and 3 lines of specification i dont vote i wait and i saw all the time if u add a modification and i and others menbers post too " please more snaps" or " can u post the specs about this please"

when i give u my vote i saw many thing like overclock, mobo and HD that u use PSU, memory etc so with my analist conception i understand that u are a person who understand many things about it so i give 9 for the inteligence too, many people post here and dont know to overclock a CPU, right?

I hope that i can explain what kind of method i use to vote

tks again bye if need help im here
 
I understand what u you are saying and i apologize if i offended anyone,as well as your prospective on "pc-building" criticism... I accept it, You are right!

Ron.
