Don't you just hate it how OEMs throw loads of stickers on the bezels of their home PCs? I notice HP and eMachines are the worst OEMs for this. :/ It makes the machines look horrible!

Yeah, it's a pain... even when all I do is fix other people's ones...
 
I never bothered to pull them off when it was new.
But now if someone were to steal one of my comps they would pick the fancier looking one and end up with a dog.
I did some video conversion this morning and what normally takes me a little over an hour was done in 16 minutes.
I'll clean up the wiring more after I get a new vid card and TV tuner then it will be complete.
I'll probably be starting a thread on that later as I am not up on vid cards because I'm not a gamer.

I'm pretty sure that each square inch of sticker applied to the case adds like 3Mhz of computing power.

I had better start covering my PC in stickers then!! ;)

That's a massive improvement Maxx. :D I remember rendering video on an old Pentium 4 HT 3.06GHz and 2GB of RAM used to take forever, and then I got my i5 760 with 8GB of RAM and it was soooooo much faster! :) You're going to save yourself loads of time in the long run.

I think it looks all right at the moment actually. It doesn't look to me like there's an awful lot you can do to help your cable management in that case, other than maybe bunch up the cables and zip tie them to something like the HDD cage. :/

Which graphics card are you getting?

I know the Cable Management is sucky, and my 8 pin power was about 4 inches short going under the motherboard and is still short running around the motherboard.
 
How is it short going under the motherboard? You mean, actually going through the cable management holes under the motherboard? No man, actually put the cable UNDER the motherboard and it will be fine-

^no cable management holes on that case.

But yeah other than that looks great.
 
I mean running through the cable management holes. I didn't think about running it between the case and motherboard. I will wait till I upgrade the CPU to do that, as it will mean removing the motherboard. Though, getting a 8 pin extender should not be too difficult.
 
it's longer than it looks. it will go almost all the way to the management hole for the 8 pin, but its about 1.5" from it. So 3 or so inches will get it there.

And yea. Its working well so far. Just got a missing driver, and need to find my 64 bit vista disk.

I think I am going to shut it off now and work on the CM a bit and post back.

It won't FIT. Read people, please.

probably a 6650 or something. Maybe leaving it HD. I don't think I am going to worry about it too much as I got my lappy to game on. Just going to add a 3TB HDD and run vista on it and be good. Might get a GTS series or something. I am not really sure. Its not worth it to game on the PC, as it will just be out of date again in a year.
