@Mjh, sorry fordelay mate, busy yesterday :)
how about grabbing a plastic/fibreglass cover thing like say, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRUMA-ULTRASTORE-WATER-HEATER-GRILL-COVER-POST-07-2006-IN-IVORY-P-NO-70122-03-/170886061120?pt=UK_Campervan_Caravan_Accessories&hash=item27c99a5c40
trim to the width of your case roof if neccesary and glue/blue tac/weld into place so its sealed front and sides so that airflow is directed to the rear of the pc?
paint/decorate to suit as well ofc :)
that will alleviate you of any unwanted warm drafts I reckon
@Jaber, fan down mate, especially if you have grill/venting in the bottom of the case

Very clean!
 
I have to say lately I am very impressed with everyones builds. I see wire management has become more popular then it was at this time last year.


Good job all.
 

Very true (I'm talking about the nagging part) [:earl45:1]
 
Here's my album.

Nothing special. Salvaged build from an old dell BTX layout. Salvaged the cpu, ram, hard drive (until it died out on me after 5 years or so, upgraded hdd since) these pics actually show the old hard drive. Bought an old cheapie motherboard for it. I've added two 120mm fans to the front and side panels since I took these pics.

Specs
Case - COOLER MASTER Elite 310
Mobo - ASUS P5GC-MX/S
CPU - Pentium D 820
HSF - Rosewill RCX-Z90-AL 92mm Sleeve CPU Cooler
PSU - CORSAIR Builder Series CX430
RAM - 1GB (2x512mb) DDR2 533MHz
GPU - ATI Radeon X300 SE (HyperMemory) PCI-E

Very basic with emphasis on very. I use this comfortably at home when I'm not on my laptop (pentium b960 using the IGP)

In the months to come I plan on building a gaming machine. When that happens I'll post pics for it.

I had to do an EMERGENCY SPARE PARTS BUILD for my sister.
she crashed and burned her unit up...

so of course some crying to little brother / IT 'guy'...
:pfff: women, family, sisters, if not then they cry to mom and I get yelled at for not doing it....
:pfff: no win situation so what was I to do.?
had most of the hardware but ended up outta pocket about $150.

C'mon verbalizer if that's an emergency build it's not bad at all, just take a look at some of the pic
posted, some didn't bother trying to hide one wire.
See my first build I did the same thing a complete rat's nest, until I came here and looked at other
builds and realized MY good enough wasn't good enough, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to
get better at hiding what you shouldn't see in the first place.
 
Components aside, Mal is right, I did actually scope out your pb album when you first posted, you were still online iirc, but I really couldn't say anything after a nightshift that wouldn't have been offensive,immoral and probably against Toms T&C's, 😛
I normally slaughter bad cables but given that you apologised in the post and said the next one will be better, I had decided to give you breathing space and see how that one turns out :)
Don't let me down....
