Not too shabby for a 900. Those things are tough to wire in. Same goes for my Stacker, believe it or not. No holes in the mobo tray is a stupid idea. lol.

Here's mine before I tore it back apart.

get a bigger case and a modular psu maybe?

Well I am certainly not going to get another psu I just got this one a few days ago. I was thinking about geting a CoolerMaster Centurion 5 but honestly my CPU is always at 29-33c and my GPU is 35-55c so its not like its killing my cooling :p

Hah getting a bigger case would definitely help that problem, however if it works good, no need to fix it, aesthetic beauty is always nice, but not necessary. Any room behind the mobo tray?

Actually, grab an Antec SOLO... you'll have space behind the HDD cage (well you could do the same with the Centurion 5 by making that hole next to the PSU much larger than it is.

Note area next to PSU, my PSU isnt modular T_T:

Did you cut holes for your wires in your mobo tray? This makes me want to rewire mine again... I think I might do that when I get my new cooling parts tomorrow. Damn DFI for needing so many power connections.

OOOOh Vantec Tornado.. whats that like 200db xD

Batou, heres some stuff i'd fix, first off beginning with the IDE cable, you dont need rounded cables, just fold therm into each other and ziptie. Next i'd work on having that PCI-E power coming from behind the mobo tray instead of where it is at the moment.

No one commented on mine U_U
