How clean is your interior?

Well... I don't know, it's a bit weird for a HDD to be up side down. I should look it up, because it's a bit interesting.

Since i got a new video card thought id update with a pic or two.

This is the old pic

Here is the case now

I think this is quite good airflow wise.

But this nest looks like a pile of turd.

Spiral wrap and electrical tape are actually amazing

Your opinions?
 
I think that there should be more space between the hd and the bottom of the case, hard disks generate heat and there is no space for a good airflow... or maybe you have placed a HD cooler and I can't see it on the pic....

taylormsj: looks better, maybe get a round ide cable and buy some zip ties to strap that cathode down? tape ftl :P

Yeh lol im holding a black rounded IDE cable as we speak that i am about to put in, but you beat me to it. I have noticed that, asides the tape looking crap, the heat from the cathode also loosens it up and makes it sticky, ill cable tie em up and take another pic in a sec :)

O and konzerte, i had thought of this, but my hard drives stays around 34 - 38 when playing games, and i think that is ok, id rather the hard drive right at the bottom for some reason, i think it looks neater, even though i dont have a see through window lol

cut the damn cables ;) ...................... (or get a modular psu)

It is modular - i only have 4 cables coming out, one molex, 1 24 pin, 1 4 pin mobo and 1 6 pin PCI express, so i cant cut down on them

i also cant phisycally cut them because that would leave me in a predicament
 
lol now that I'm paying attention I can see it's modular indeed... :D

well I dunno what to do with that mess, covering it? :confused:

good luck and show more pics of your work
 
my advice- hide cables behind the motherboard tray. route your cables smartly, bundle as many together that are going to the same place.
 
No room for any cables under my mobo tray, all my cables are clumped up together too. I have had to squish them all in the corner so my top fan doesnt become usless
 
is there any room behind the other side panel of your case?

the real secret is to go cable by cable and find a way to route it that isn't in view. you have to use every crevice of your case that is behind the scene, every hole that could be used to route a cable. zip ties and super glue are your friends- get off the electrical tape as much as you can. also, go to fry's and get 1 color of cable wrap or shrink- and get one that doesn't expose the cables.

I just did a build for a friend and I think I spent 3 hours building the case (he bought everything brand new) and routing cables. And that was for a system that only had 2 case fans, 1 video card, 1 hard drive, 1 optical drive! :D But guess what- it looks clean as hell- ill post pictures of it soon.
