Default Taking my rig down for a few days to rewire. Will post results in a few days

Well from looking at your many cases I will be taking this sucker down for a few days to rewire my whole case, as my wiring looks somewhere inbetween a ratsnest and hell. Suprisingly my temperatures are quite good already, but I'm just doing this for cosmetics as you can see everything that goes on through the unfortunately big window I have. Thank you PR for inspiring me. Will be back in a day or two with pics and results.

Good idea. A window can show how good....or bad of a modder you are. It doesn't serve much of a pupose if no one can see through a ratsnest of wires and see all your uber-modding skillz. Good luck dude....you won't regret it.

2 of the 4 rounded IDE Cables don't work, will be sending them back, for now regular IDE cables will have to do. Premodded case for now, got tons of mods planned for it Results:

I did the wrap trick instead of sleeving, as I don't know where I can get any from. I will check out our sponsors to see which has the lowest price and order from them.

Hey, I personally like the standard IDE cables instead of the rounded ones. If you can fold well, it really does make it look awesome.

I folded them as well as I could, you can barely see them.

No wonder you cant see them then.

I went for the rounded cables, with a braided silver thingy, when my green light decideds to work at full power (really need to get around to replacing that one) i like the reflection between the bl00 and green.

I have to do it some justice and hide some wires, Golden Dragon GeiL ram, maze 4 waterblock and 1/2" tubing filled with green goodness, Abit NF7-S mobo, got a few compents that look pretty but you see all the wires around the outside and it takes away from it,
hopefully i can get it to look more like yours.

And I still got tons of room to improve on. Most of this was due to the help and talent of the following people:

Hawklen - your wiring inspired me the most.
Chrome_Rust - thanks for the suggestions on hiding the sidewindow.
TekXoid - thanks for the suggestion on reversing HDD's and finding a better way of wiring things up.
CarbonGraphite - thanks for teaching me how to takeout pins in molex connectors, that has helped me alot and will continue to do so when I start sleeving my PSU.
