agreed, and its easy to make a case with neer nothing in it look clean, try doing it with a case thats acctualy full of stuff :)

i vote with Hitsugaya_Toushirou because honestly this isnt that impressive at all, if i pulled out most of the parts in my system i could have it look as clean or cleaner then your layout, but then i wouldnt have hdd space to download or burners to burn.

tpk i have been lurking watching you, you seem to expect everybody to give you 10's and seem to find making pointless threds for your own ammusement in seirous sections to be funny(8800gt vs 3870.....) honestly i have been banned from sites for acting the way you do......

Show us what you got then. If you did not realise in the first place, burners wont really add any clutter at all to my system. Reason? The way I wire it. Another HDD; same story, note how much space the Ultra 120 and the AcceleroS1 take up. Its not really empty. Sorry, but you are just using a rapbag of irrelevant examples. Hitsugaya Toushirou is hitsugaya toushirou, you arent hitsugaya toushirou so its totally irrelevant. You are just using him as an excuse to vote so low, If you hadn't used him and at least had the decency to even post your own system, I wouldnt have gave a damn.

8800GT VS HD3870 was semi serious. First off yes it was a farce but boy didn't we see a lot of information come out of that thread? I know my limits, I know TPU's limits. This isnt another forum with dictator-like mods. This is a forum with caring and understanding mods.

seems more like they turn a blind eye to some people posting crap and acting like children more then being kind and caring mods.

as to my case, i have no pix, and i have 4 hdd's 3 sata 1 ide on sata converter, my systems far from being as empty as yours.

like i said its easy to make a system with very little in it look clean and nice, try it with one thats FULL of stuff.

and i got no digital cam, somebody stole that along with a bunch of my older computer parts(anything small and easy to throw in a backpack/box) thankfully they totaly left my working systems alone and didnt jack my samsung u3 audio player :)

if i can find a x64 driver for my webcam i will try and post shots of my wiring, its nothing fancy but it dosnt block airflow :)

I gave you a 9. Prob. should be a 10 though, but I will save the 10 for my rig(s). ;) Excellent work though. Wires/cables barley seen. Excellent air flow and a wide open case to work in is always great. :toast:

Its called... logical hardware selection as well. Its not really impressive to have more hardware. I could mount another two HDDs. I have four SATA ports just take in mind. So I'm technically limited to another HDD and burner.

Wel... that really sucks that you got robbed though :ohwell:

"seems more like they turn a blind eye to some people posting crap and acting like children more then being kind and caring mods." *Bunch up* Lets hope they cant hear this but i agree sometimes

tkpenalty: If that "EDIT: Actually, what reason?" was directed at me, well... I gave my reason in my post and as i mentioned in it as well, "If this is insufficient then ask again in more detail" otherwise i won't know what your looking for.

Also, i'm wondering if i'll be getting a response to my questions, if not i wouldn't mind being informed.

At least this problem is cleared up, now i think i can relax without having to worry about someone despising because of a little vote and opinion. (You did apologies so i'm assuming that i was forgiven...)

Note: In the new pictures i noticed you made some changes, which is quite interesting to see that you tried to improve... But the flash was a little blinding... try to avoid the flash coming back at the camera otherwise we see a white circle on the image.

Hmm yeah I've tried several methods. In the second set of photos (the ones you based your votes off) i used one of the SOLO's feet as the flash "disperser" or whatever you call it. Err in these pics i opted for something that wouldnt tint the flash... which was a cotton bud dispenser. Didnt work well though... I reckon a folded tissue would work.. lol. Nah I cant avoid it, the boards too glossy (Same as my case)

one method i found to help the flash was to shine a lamp at the PC.

Just having higher ambient light reduced the flash effect drastically, so even tho it was there it was a lot less pronounced.

My camera is useless without the flash, for reference - even with the lamp.

you could try tapping a piece of wax paper over the flash bulb aperture - it can sometimes dilute the brilliance of the flash quite a bit.


asides, nice looking setup, man - very straightfoward and organized.
