What do u guys think about my pc?:-)
Thanks 4 being honest! and this is a really nice site! im getting a new cpu fan and neons
Jap im doing my wireing tomorrow! may i ask what did u mean by saying (careful with double posting)?
Double posting is when you post consecutively, you can read all the guidelines here.
Thanks man! lol i dnt understand so i may not comment on my own pics? im ganna do the wireing tomorrow an see how it goes if its ugly just ganna remove it then
Thanks guys so i can comment:-) Hope they dont block me or anything:-D I'll add some more pics when i get my cpu cooler and noens and do my wireing
Thanks man glad to knw there r nice ppl in the world
i gotta agree with the others dude, hide them cables. it is tedious and depending on your case, mobo, gpu, dvd-rom (sata or ide) and hd(s), it will require alot of planning. Don't be suprised when you make a bunch of changes after you finish! nice mod, and post a few more pics when you get the case cleaned up, i wanna see how it looks then.
Added new pics hope u GUYS like:-)
Thanks guys 4 the comments:-) and to Hunt3r thanks man
I like the changes, very unique; especially the 2 80mm's over the dvd. :-) Did that 120 underneath the gpu help drop temps? i have a sli set up and the bottom one gets pretty toasty due to the lack of clearance for air flow. i'm thinking of adding a 120mm hole & fan on the bottom of my case and adding bigger case feet to allow more flow to it. again, nice revisions dude.

Thanks man!!! its taken me about a week to decide if i must put the fans above my dvd-rom
the 120mm fan under my gpu dropped my temps about 7'C If u can get say a 120mm with gud airflow u will drop the temps IMO just with the 120mm on the bottem of my gpu make sure u make say a 3-5cm space between the fan and the bottem of ur case i noticed that if u dnt have space there is no airflow:-) let me knw if this worrks 4 u:-)

Nice blend of colors. I like "normal" pcs like that! Next step would be to try and do some management with your cables ;)
I've tried everything to help my cable management:-) even tucked most of my cables behind my MOBO! must be becouse i have 10 fans in thats why i got so much cables! anyway hope u guys like my rig:-) an if u have any ideas on how to help me with my cables of modding ideas plz tell:-)
Im adding to 2 more 80mm green fans to improve my airflow
What's the point of your overclock? 2.5 to 2.7 is what noobs do with overclocking software. Your build is pretty weak with ddr 800 and a single 4k series card.
I voted 1/10 because:

thanks bud! i knw i just dnt like ppl brakening me down u knw! not every1 in the world has the cash to buy a monster of a pc but yeah every1 has there own opion
Example:The point being why include such a skim overclock? 200Mhz isn't anything of a performance increase.

what u mean
its a budget PC with a tiny overclock, that looks likes a christmas tree was stuffed into the case and held together with duct tape.
Its also got zero cable management - wrapping your wires in electrical tape is also ugly and a bad idea, as the glue will melt and cause you all sorts of problems later.
I decided to come and see how awesome your system was, since you seem to vote every other case out there a 1/10 - and honestly, your PC is crap in comparison to many you've voted down.
I voted 1/10 because:
Being one of my first votes, my initial 6/10 seemed way too high after seeing other mods that more than thoroughly deserve a 10. I have now seen enough case mods as to have a solid idea as to what principles I shall guide future scores by.
Lack of cable management, duct tape used in a way that can't even be described as ghetto modding and use of sub 120mm fans on an ATX case coupled with an insignificant overclock can no longer warrant a 6/10. I shall endeavour to stick with my principles hereforth to ensure inpartial and correct scoring.

Thanks 4 being honest i dnt mind what u guys think ey! honestly i love my pc:-) so thanks again
Cuz its UGLY
At least you can take what you give, you earned some respect back there.
i was being a dick, since you were being a dick rating other PC's 1/10.
At least you can take what you give, you earned some respect back there.
i cant even remeber who i voted a 1 for and who eva it is i apologize
BTW, hit the "quote" button - it makes more sense than slapping my text in the middle of your post
Ok man i understand ur point i was a dick ey! il withdraw my vote and give a proper vote! thanks agian:-)
and, i hate that you vote 1.10's on mods that are getting 10/10. u should'nt be here on tpu
Dasnt matter :-) thanks
good job all over. Alright cable management the colour of the fans is a bit strange, no real colour scheme

Sorry to go all "hero of the internet" but baseless and un-constructive criticism makes me mad. Saying things like the above will drive new people away/stop people from posting mods in our (what are supposed to be) very friendly forums!
Ontopic, I like the mod, it looks like a rave party!
comes with good warrenty, thats why i took the risk and purchesed, check my specs it runs all my hardware easiley
I would say that the 600watt would be even better than mine as mines only a 550watt
I dont like to vote 1 on any mod.
CALIBRE apologised for his behaviour, its a done deal.
Feel free to vote low if you dont like his system, but dont vote low just because of what he did.
Calibre has posted in the case gallery many times, most notably his rating of the Companion Cube of a 1/10 "Because its ugly".
I critiqued his addition of using an overclock, yet he has yet to make 1 single post outside of the Case Gallery section. Perhaps he should make an effort to learn how to overclock. :rolleyes:
use the EDIT button, instead of multiple posts in a row. PLEASE!
Give and reveive, its a worldwide law !
Clean up your cables a little and I will change my vote.
6/10
If nothing else you should have to have a minimum of posts to vote in the case gallery
You dont just vote 10 so you can get a 10 back on your own case.....thats pathetic.
If somethings a turd, call it a turd, if its great, reflect it in your vote.
Honesty is the best policy.
I dont mean to sound rude, but this PC is clearly not '10' material, even if it was mine, I would say the same thing!
