Thanks for the tips! Followed them and saved up 8 gb. Earlier on before posting my build, i dived into the properties of the ssd and let windows clean up his stuff and saved 25 gb (!) of space. So i'm good right now.

I've posted here a while back, made some recent upgrades one was the PSU. The old TX 650 crapped out, Corsair was nice enough to send me a new one. Also purchased a like new 670 from a friend for a steal and bought a 256gb Seagate 600 SSD for cheap last November. Plus I added some Dayton bookshelf speakers with a small Lepai amp which sounds fantastic. Sorry for the cell phone pics, but the LG G2 doesn't take too terrible oics for the bad lighting:

Your builds make me jealous!

 

[MadMetalGuy]

Madmetal, glad to see pretty decent cable management despite the lack of a modular psu. I see people on here with modular psu and a cable management friendly case that have worse management. Just goes to show there is NO EXCUSE for poor cable management. Well done sir!

i just re did the system with a new Semi Modular PSU
got the corsair CX600M but sadly i still had to use all the cables due too my MOBO not having enough fan headers for the front two and the top and rear fans so i just used Molex for the front fans
And i had to use all the sata power connectors even though each cable has three connectors i couldnt make the DVD drive fit while having my SSD/HDD down at the bottom i like having better cable management but i like better airflow more and that GTX 660 Idles at 28-34 thanks to my front fans not being blocked by my drives

this is just my first go at cable management im going to rewire everything and try to make it work better soon

My entertainment setup can be a mess sometimes, but this is a broad picture of it. A 2011 prebuilt PC with some modifications, including SSD, video card, PSU, and Windows 8.1.

Model: HP Pavilion Elite HPE-580t
OS: Windows 8.1 Professional 64-bit with Media Center
CPU: Intel Core i7-950 @ 3.07 GHz 8 MB L3 Cache
Motherboard: Pegatron IPMTB-TK X58 LGA1366
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC 2 GB GDDR5
RAM: 12 GB DDR3 3-channel @ 1600 MHz
Hard Drive 1: 180 GB Intel 520-series SSD
Hard Drive 2: 1.5 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM HDD
PSU: XFX TS Series 550W ATX 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
Optical 1: Blu-ray / DVD RW
Optical 2: DVD R
Display: HP 2509m 25" LCD 1080p @ 60 Hz
Keyboard: Logitech G510
Mouse: Logitech G300
Headset: Logitech G930 7.1 surround
Control Pad: XBOX 360 Gold Chrome Series wireless controller
UPS: APC Back-UPS XS 1500

Please note that the blue tree to the right is a novelty Christmas tree which I keep there all year long as a decoration. The big black box next to the UPS is a subwoofer for my home theater system. Also shown is my good old PlayStation 2 game console and some outdated music production software which I don't use anymore. The stacks of blank CDs / DVDs look rather ridiculous, but at least it's a place to store them. And finally, my keyboard has a plastic protective cover on it to keep out dirt, dust, and debris.
