A few days ago I asked for some advise on a build I was working and I finally got my goods yesterday and threw everything together. I was a bit nervous since it was my first build, but everything entoff without incident. I put a pic so you can check out my wire management. This is one thing I'm very picky about with Windowed PCs and wanted to know if I did a descent job.

Good job man hope you enjoy it.

The cables look great for a first time, but there is stil some room for improvement. Maybe look into some spiral wrap, which will bunch all cables into one long thick cable and it looks quite nice and is cheap, try to stuff away as many cbales behind and in hdd cages as you can. Keep up the good work :)

I don't know it's not marked. I got the case (w/ PSU), sound blaster Audigy card, and a couple 60GB HDDs from a co-worker for $50.

the PSU cables are the worst to deal with but you finished that off nicely behind the motherboard tray. other than that it looks good, maybe wrap some of the cables or tape them together. few big smooth cables look better than a bunch of small crazy ones. no crazy cables allowed. :p

Looking good, did it cost to put that heatsink/fan from intel? ( i haven't tried to put a stock fan since a while ago on a pentium d and it was a pain in the ass)

SATA 160GB for $47.

I know that Ultra is great but the PSU's stats look horrible... +12V @ 19A? My Ebay cheap PSU ($27) had 24amps!

I had got two, and had a couple drives in my NOW file server. I don't know any thing about PSU's or what to look for. I saw it was 500W and it was basically free. My wife was upset enough I ordered the things I did, ithat would really set her off.

It was easy as that. It took me longer to screw the board on the case than apply the heat sync.
