Post A Pic Of Your Pc Here :)

I don't really tend to bother with fan controllers. I have one in my Lexa S by NZXT but I just plug all the case fans (there are 4 of them) straight into molex because I don't care about noise and I'd rather my PC by cool and loud than hot and quiet. My PC sits on the floor anyway, so noise doesn't affect me, and my hearing's not 100%.

That case for the Core 2 Quad rig by the way is actually older than the CPU, board, RAM, PSU etc. It originally held an Athlon 4400+ and an AMD board and 2GBs of RAM but Dad sold the Athlon stuff and replaced it with the Q8300 and then upgraded to a new whole PC with a 3700 and 32GBs of RAM this year.

Still good case tower?

PS: I'm glad i'm deaf that i can max fan speed with a lot of noise while bother my roommate :D

It's OK I guess. Looks good, but cable management is a pain due to lack of holes in the board tray to route cables through and as the case is made from steel it's heavy. It's an older case at the end of the day I guess.

It went from looking like this at the beginning of May when I got it off Dad...

to this...

...just by changing the power supply and giving the case a good dusting down.

This is what the other side looks like:

Now I've put cables I'm not using there, but there's not really anywhere to route the 24-pin ATX cable really. :/

I notice a wire but still better than nothing and it is strong i think? I have thermaltake Armor 60A cable management is okay but still it is clean of wire by side of my motherboard.
 
Yeah the cable management I've got at the moment in that case is pretty much as good as it gets really. The case is strong but it definitely has its flaws. Little things like wires occasionally grinding against the fans and stuff really let the case down.

My 2500K rig's cable management is better, bar the ATX cable again. :/

I know I've posted that pic of my rig loads of times before but I like it. :D
 
It is not bad tower case you got.

I put ATX cable by hole on right side of case. Here is how i put it there.

and on right side of case.

I tried putting the cable behind the board tray, it just will not fit. I got it to fit before, but I've since re-arranged all my cables and it just will not fit behind the board now at all.

I know that your case have cable management but it is not really good. Good for small cable. I really want Chaser MK-1 but i'm wait for new motherboard or might getting PCI express that connection inside tower.

Yeah the cable management features in my case aren't the best. If I were going to buy a new case, I'd definitely get something with better cable management features. Corsair Carbide 300R probably if only had 50 quid to spend, or perhaps an NZXT Phantom if I had a wad of cash to spend. ;)

so lonely in there. :I

its the best I could do without drilling a hole in the wall, which mum said I can't do. I really want to get them out of the way.
 
Is it me or does that CPU cooler look slightly slanted to one side though? Is it meant to be like that? Or is it like that because it were straight and level would it be obstructed by the stick of RAM?
 
it is slanted. I am not sure why though. don't really want to try and fix it as it is working now. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
 
Yeah if it's cooling your 2600K down fine just leave it.

I've just seen how long that 480 is. Wow! I also see you have to have your PCI express power connectors like mine, going over the top of the card.

It's a bit of an annoyance for cable management but it's only like that because of the way the connectors are placed on the card. Had the connectors on the card been placed the other way up, the cables could have gone underneath the card and it would look better. Is this is the same for your 480 too?

Its cooling well. getting 55* at full load except for core three that runs 60* at full load. Don't know whats up with that.

Its only 10" long more or less. There is 10.5" between teh back of the case and the drive cage and its got a little bit of room to spare.

The connectors on the 480 and pointed out away from the motherboard like the 5870. My cables are about 2 inches too short to go through the cable management holes though. Got them running round and under the card to go to the supply. Sucky that it won't fit, but it will work for now.
