Specs:
NOT THE POINT!!!
Lian-Li PC-61 case
Intel E6600 - mildly overclocked to 2.7ghz
Enzotech CPU Cooler
ASUS P5K-E motherboard
2Gb OCZ PC-6500
XFX nVidia 8600 GT video card with Zalman cooler
WD 250Gb 7200 rpm SATA hard drive
ASUS CD/DVD burner w/LightScribe
Ultra X3 600W power supply

Mods:
Cut holes in rear support panel and MB tray for cable managment. Cut fingers on aforementioned holes while applying edge molding which is supposed to prevent the cutting of fingers... damnit!

Low specs and stock coolers are because this rig was built for my father primarily as non-graphics intense home office type of system. The CPU, memory, hard drive, and DVD drive were all parts I had left over from other builds so all this really cost me was a MB, case, power supply, and video card. He doesn't play games, but he may indulge in the occasional Star Trek themed software from time to time so I at least wanted the system to be able to handle games with mid-range graphics settings. Before I ship it off to him I decided to put a couple of hours into cable managment to see if I can get one up on TKPenalty and SladeSurfer.

fantastic! 9/10
 
who ever marked this as 1/10, has no judgement...plain jealous!
 
Haha... only took about 10 mins for someone to slam it with a 1.

I'm guessing that was probably to knock it down in the overall standing order... I like to give people the benefit of the doubt ;-)

LOL... dude, you've seen my other rig... right?

Read the description of what this computer is built for before you go ranting about doing the Lian-Li family injustice. The stock heatsink/fan is perfectly fine for this computer's purpose, but I tell you what... I'll post a screenshot with Everest, Stability Test, AI Tuner, and CPU-Z just for you.

To my own amazement this damn thing is running at about 40C (47C @ cores) under stress load and only 28C at idle. I'd say the stock Intel cooler is doing quite well with a +12.5% overclock.

Speed stepping is enabled on the CPU. My father will almost NEVER hit max CPU load on this system, much less sustain it, so shipping it to him as it sits is the plan.

This is posted here in the gallery for the sole purpose of showing off the cable managment.

I'm not married (at least not until this Sept.) so I still get to spend my money freely.
 
I'll give you 10 to offset that ridiculous 1. Very clean!!!!

We both know that, but voting 1 for no apparent reason, cause or intent is plain stupid.... and by doing it, the value of ones work, is reduced... pisses me off...
 
nice spec,beautiful cable menangment,great case!all you need is a nice coper zalman cpu cooler.9/10 from me!
 
Gotta love that PSU, flex-force ftw! 10/10

Btw, I wanna know, how's that power supply doing for you? I'm looking for a good PSU in the 600-800W and I'm actually looking at the 800W model right now, specs in my current sig. I'm having this blackscreen everytime I load a game up, but yeah.. :D

HAHAH, Amazing job. I give you 10/10
 
Beautiful job man! 10/10! Now I'm really excited to get my new Lian Li case!!!
I will beat up whoever gave you the one with my old Antec 900. This is the reason that everyone who votes should also leave a comment. TPU please make this mandatory!!
 
Good job but I see an unsightly cable! Turn your rear 80mm fan counter-clockwise so you can hide it's 3 pin a little better. If I could give you a 20/10 I would, good job.
 
If it were any cleaner, you could fab 45nm wafers in it. 10/10
