[Lutfij]

hahaha - i'll have my own party without disco lights 😛

 

[Lutfij]

you heard of BT? Brian Transeau? i was a DJ once for a long while until agenda's popped up so if you need a party - you know who to PM

 

[Lutfij]

^ nope, prefer House(ian pooley, ATB, BT) , Progressive(Above n Beyond, Oliver Smith), Drum 'n' Bass (like Diesel Boy) - might wanna check out Oliver smith - cadence, don't like Acid trance, psychedelic or pure mish mash's - no offence, just my taste

 

[Lutfij]

ahem ^ * yourself, censorship is better than overexposure

ok, all of this went out of rigs and the gallery thread...lets bring this show back on the road!

 

[Lutfij]

**I tried my hardest with cable management but that was the cleanest I could get it.**

Do or not do, there is no try.....

And I'm politely saying there is more you can do with the cables, good job for a first build, enojy<? *Enjoy* it for a few days, then strip it and make those gorram cables disappear!!!

+2 to you .. Very delicate use of the club

 

[Lutfij]

moto+polite doesn't = good day for him!

 

[Lutfij]

you have someone beside you now 😛 with the same case...

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Ideal setting for a bit of friendly oneupmanship 😛
and the cables only benefit....
/sigh and relax

Can I turn the PSU around the other way so the "T650" is hidden? Is the other side of the PSU completely black? I forgot.
Why couldn't all these cables be black? that would've made everything much easier.
The top fan of the case cable is Red/Yellow/Black,
Also I have to use 1 cable to connect the HDD and optical drive to the psu and route it through the front. If I route it through the back - its not long enough.

Another thing: I accidentally moved the hyper 212 a little when I was connecting a cable..I then aligned it so it was straight. I'm thinking it doesn't matter?

 

[Motopsychojdn]

Leave the Psu as it is, peel the label off instead,
Sleeve the cables or wrap in fabric tape,

Hint, duct tape will hold sharp bends inplace, then dress with the above to look neat
you could also route the fan wire slightly differently, have it come through the back of the I/o shield closer to the socket,
make/buy a molex extension for the Hdd and optic to allow more reach,
Seeing as your Hdd is mounted differently anyhow, why not stick it on top of the optic drive and tuck wires away,
and nudging the Hs should be fine, just don't make a habit of it 😛
That should keep you busy hehe
