opinions on this tucking job

mmaturen · 27-April-07, 08:20 PM

I managed to get of the office early today and felt like working a little on my rig... did some cable maangement, and im looking for opinions/ideas...

Cheers

Plus I put this little thing on front of the case to see if I could lower the temps a bit...

What's the point of the front fan? If the door is closed, there is so little air that would get to that fan indirectly...Also it looks like the top two bay covers are covering the majority of the fan...

Wiring looks good. Might want to abandon round wires as they aren't as easy as ye olde ribbon cable to rout and hide!

You should upload the pics as attachments, that way you don't have to worry about getting them blocked for high bandwidth or such...

I like the tucking job, the extra effort really shows.

I agree with Gzim though, round wires are terrible to tuck. It's kind of funny how the old things work the best.

Oh, and about the fan? I'd take the bay covers out and put some mesh behind all of the open ones. Dragonmesh is sexy, and functional ^_^

I have the exact same case, and unfortunately, while the front is pretty, it's useless for cooling...The door that serves as the central theme in the case has only a few thin slots for cooling...I did see a mod where someone cut the slots out to be larger, but I think that'd mess with the anodizing...

why not mount the fan elsewhere then?? im sure u could think of something!!
it would be a shame to waist the fans potential! and it would also be better if u mount it somewhere where u would see a better result in temps!!

Thanks for the reply and ideas guys... Gzim youre right about the door.. is rather bad for cooing. im thinking once I have some time to use that fan as an exaust on top of the case...

Baka Sempai thanks for the dragon mesh Idea but I cant get things from the internet Is a big hassel in my country so cool as I know it looks, cant do it....

Mow gotta get me some ribbon IDE wires... thanks guys

Cheers.
