Well my tip is if cable management is one of your key factors of you build, buy a modular psu as its very handy indeed
if you have a boat load of hard drives and gpu's then there prob wont be any difference between modual or normal
few pics of mine which has alot of wires but most are hidden, my ssd is is behind the side panel on mdob tray side

I admire your work funkysnair, a lot of effort in that rig, but I gotta ask - Is watercooling worth the cost and effort?
Hamster, What can I say?Nice interior paint job though.
in my opinion it is, i can overclock my gpu/cpu without having to put up with the fan noise while gaming

Best place for cheap sleeving supplies IMO, i'd recommend sleeving that IDE/FDD(cant tell which from the picture) cable you have there, Its not difficult. You make a slit between the two wires in the cable every 4 wires, then make it look basically like a thing of spaghetti. Next,you get 3/8" PET sleeving and stretch it over(you put the IDE connector sideways so it can be slipped over it as well as the cables). Then, use 1/2" 3:1 or 4:1 heatshrink and use that on the ends.
Otherwise, cable management in that is pretty good
Thanks man
Don't know if I want to sleeve it, considering it'll be there for a few months at most, but splitting it up like that sounds like a good idea. I already did that a bit, bit I may just do the whole thing and electrical tape it.
Aww you got yours for $30 =/. I got mine for $50
Yea I know... messy.
Well....$50 with a $20 MIR.
Yours could definitely be worse, especially with that PSU. How did you fit all that behind the mobo tray?
Funky...wow. Am I seeing dual rads and pumps?
It looks like two loops...but only one reservoir?

Well, when im actually using my computer i'm in my simbox which deadens the noise from any fans....and when i'm not, i can't hear it over my two ac units and other such stuff.
