Updating the 'puter for hardcore ownage

[--Pete]

Hi,

I really don't like the cable issue to be quite honest.

. . .

I think I have all the cables secured away from the motherboard and the fans enough to ensure good airflow

It looks clean enough to me. There doesn't seem to be any major airflow blocking, and the excess wires are pretty well out of the way. Unless you're going with a see through panel, internally illuminated show case, what you've got is good.

I have been known to be anal about that, to the point that I've spent days prepping a case. I've opened power supplies and removed (unsoldered) all the connectors that I didn't need. I've remade cables to get rid of excess length. I've even assembled all the components, marked the cable locations (with a water based marker), removed the components, and cut holes in the back panel to run the cables out of sight. Believe me, once the cover is on, no-one (including you) will really care.

So, again, good job with those cable ties ;)
