Very nice rig M8 !!! looks Sweet

 

[jrwizbang]

Hers an update to my gamin rig, which includes new 5mm LEDS fitted to the screw holes on the 180mm fans, shrouded PSU cables for the new 1000w XFX Platinum PSU and a bit more cable management.

That is really damn sharp looking. Loving how nice and tidy it is. You can definitely tell who puts a lot of work into their builds.

Bit of black tape would've covered the Sli bridge up nicely but you've got one coming so no probs
pull those optical drive cables a little tighter, tuck the excess between the two connectors down the side of the cage and you can have an award as well
Bloody nice rig man

modo is like the martha stewart of Tom's hardware gallery 😀 finds cheap solutions to otherwise expensive bling...which is always needed in a functioning house.

uther - great work with the subtle lighting!

@ uther39 & tezza1982

They both look really nice...

In uther39's case I like the flat black and subtle blue lighting. Not too pretentious or flamboyant = just right.

First of all, the case looks nice as hell but to my dismay, I discovered the cable management sucks (Antec DF-30). I have done the best I cam, given the circumstances. Hopefully I can redeem myself with toggle-able neon lights!

This was the second time I have used a 3.5" ECX board by Quanmax. It's what makes this board possible. Despite their small size they seem to offer more powerful chipsets than other small form factors (Ex Pico and Nano itx). So far I have been very impressed by this board and would recommend it to anyone interested in small form factor builds.

This was a very fun project and makes for a fun everyday use all-in-one machine. Build instructions are available. Hope this is helpful.

Just read this post since I am still catching up on the thread. I really wish I saw it 2 weeks ago because I found an old iMac just like that abandoned in a supply room. It is most likely in the dump already. 🙁

@ nicklas - are those the SP or AP from corsair? FYI - that PCI-E cbles look sleek now[:lutfij:3] but for aesthetics sake, that 24pin mbo cable can be more orthogonal.

@ russk1 - i need to have surgery on my cornea - lost them trying to keep track of your mobo. :lol: i meant CM'ing on your rig seems essential.

 

[Uther39]
