Is your PSU not modular? It does look way neater, I hate wiring with PSU's that aren't modular.
Nope, it isn't a modular PSU The next PSU I get will be a modular one though, probably a Corsair.

I just ordered one, I would have ordered some cathodes and some of the uv-reactive stuff you have but, it's going in a P180.

Got a duct for my 80mm fan on the front, helps it flow the air into the case, dropped my CPU temp by 1c,




Another shot of the cables I sleeved


A shot from the back of my PC

lol, Thanks Shane

Yeah, I felt like the fan duct would help to puch it more into the case... It did aswell

Erm, I don't really know, I know what may next upgrade will be, another GB of RAM, then a new PSU and GPU, but the PSU and GPU won't be for a while yet.

Maybe some cathodes, I don't know if UV cathodes are cool though, I've never really seen them, apparently, the cable sleeving is UV reactive, do the UV cathodes give off a glow, like normal cathodes?

P.S. Did you notice I sleeved my Keyboard wire too, Pink

Yeah the UV is basically a blacklight, you need a new PSU, I remember you asking about your Earthwatts 380W, is that the one you have now?

I didn't know they had one with a side panel, oh well too late....

I don't have it all ordered, I'm waiting on the release of the E6850 and my next paycheck, lol. Then I have to wait on my next paycheck for the vid card....

So it wouldn't light the case up like a normal cathode?

Yup, I have the 380watt Antec Earthwatts, it does really well, runs my system without a hitch, with two 12v rails with 17A on each, not bad.

I don't think it would, not that much.....

That's surprising, that shows what quality Antec's older PSU's were, they still are but, not as good now as then.
