Very nice so far guys, especially Shane's. ;)

Old picture but it hasn't changed much... I'd like to sleeve the cables and do some minor touch ups. Overall I'm satisfied.

That's a sweet setup. I love the black and red theme you have going on.

If only the inside of that case was black, it would kick total butt.

OMG I am getting one of those cables, I barely managed to get the cable on there in the first place... lol the cable is almost stretched on mine, you could use it as a trampoline :eek:

When i got my new PSU...the Cpu power cord would not reach where it had to go...even if i lay it across the mobo it was like 5 inches short so i had no choice to get one anyway...but when i got it i could put that cable behind the mobo and its much better.

Thanks. Yeah, I bought the paint several months ago but I've been too lazy to finish it.

lmao. No money to complete the LCS atm. I've got an Apogee GTZ waterblock, that's about it.

Here's mine... No cable management whatsoever... :p

Just enough to keep them away from the fans. :D

This isn't the best case for cable management.
There aren't any holes or a "back compartment" for cables. There also isn't any place in the case itself to tie cables to. So I had to use the holes on the case fans... what a mess...

This was the only case (with air filters) I found that could hold this rig. All the other e-atx that was in the store at the time had some sort of clearance problem with at least one component...

hat case is that? looks good.

do you have any pics of your XEON rig?

Cooler Master Cosmos

That is my Xeon rig. (EDIT: Notice the two heatsinks.)

The micro-atx Core i7 rig in my siggy is my primary desktop now.
Ever since I built that Core i7 rig, I've retired my Xeon rig from daily use to code-testing.
(EDIT 2: It's always been for HPC and testing code, but I also used it as my primary desktop for a few months.)

My Core i7 rig is OC'able, has a better video card, and is a lot quieter. So it's better suited to everything else I do. (including lan-parties, hence micro-atx)
I don't have any up-to-date pics of my mini-i7 rig.
It's doing simulations in the background right now and it won't be done for a few more weeks. (I'm begging it will finish before Winter break...)

Otherwise, I would've posted pics of it too. The cable management in it is MUCH better than my Xeon rig... :rolleyes:

I used to have good cable management but after my upgrades it just kinda fell apart.

Here's mine. Not the best, I know. But it's the best I can do! :)

(sorry for the bad photo, the blue lights didn't really help!)
