Finally took pics of my new system, need feedback.

**** EDIT: Since people are asking about my PSU despite me saying it is not modular in the thread, I thought I'd clarify in this post that the PSU is a Corsair 850TX, which IS NOT modular.


For anyone interested what the following components look like when put together, there are pics to enjoy ITT. This is my first complete build ever, and I'm kinda proud of the wiring job. I plan on probably getting some cold cathode lighting, or maybe an LED solution, and if I ever find myself with a couple of days with nothing to do, I may refinish/paint the interior and install a window mod or something. But as it is now, how would you rate the wiring job? If it's not a 10/10, what could I have done better without having to buy a ton of 36" extensions and such, or maybe post some pics of better wiring jobs. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Very nice, and clean. Great job, thanks for sharing.

BTW, what cooler is that? I've never seen one split with a fan in the middle like that, pretty cool.

It's the Noctua NH-D14 - it's an EXCELLENT cooler, and surprisingly - it was VERY EASY to install, and cleared my RAM without issues, and of course, it's very quiet.

And oh yeah, it really is as big as they say it is, it's a BEAST.

Wow, babachoo, that's an awesome rig 😀 definitely 10/10 cable management - are there even any wires there? (I know that's already been said but I thought of it before seeing that post so I reserve the right to say it )

When I next upgrade my case (won't be for a few years probably - there's nothing wrong with my current one and I don't have the money to spend upgrading parts because I like the looks of others better 🙁) I will get the HAF 922 almost for sure, even if it's outdated. It looks amazing, had great cooling and is really spacious. Best looking case IMO.

Sorry to say this man but the feng shui on that build is all wrong 😛 your mobo's soothing blues is in conflict with the orange and reds (angry colours) on the graphics card, and around the 18th of each month it will be irritable narky and upset for no reason at all,
liking the invisi-cables you have, its made me resolve to do mine again hehe, I wrapped mine in blue insulation tape to colour co-ord with leds i have on fan etc, but after looking at yours, im going to have to try harder ty for sharing mate

what do you mean by orange and reds as angry colours?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Wow, Holy thread necro batman!
Orange and red are traditionally perceived as angry colours by most people,
think about a relaxing room in hospital or a childs nursery for instance, its all yellows or cool blue, relaxing yes?
if they were red and harsh yellows it would be stressful, like red traffic lights are 😛
This was the thread that got me into Cable management btw, thanks for reminding me how far I've come

how come you are selling PC's on this website forum?

[Motopsychojdn]

I'm not sure Babachoo checks this anymore,
but he was just letting members know it was for sale, I think it was ok ruleswise, as long as your not actively trying to sell like this was ebay, 😛
