How is your PC wiring setup?

How neat is your wiring in your PC? Feel free to post pics (keep images at 640x480 or smaller, larger images will be deleted).

Currently displaced. Spent 3 hours cleaning up my wiring one day. Several days later, the PSU gave out. Haven't re-cleaned since replacement.

GlitterKill · 20-August-03, 12:36 AM

i've been there... had everything perfect only to rip them all up to replace a bad part.

m3_tw0 · 20-August-03, 12:37 AM

gotta keep it clean

lAnonymousl · 20-August-03, 03:40 PM

Here's mine. Posted in a thread a few days ago. Think I'll take BA's advice and lengthen the wires so I can route them better and get that immaculate look.

I am pretty organized with my rig. I have to work out a few more hardware upgrades before I make it wireless. Dont want to jump ahead of myself by cleaning up and then changing one part and having to redo all the wires.

sKuLLs · 20-August-03, 06:18 PM

my case is too small for the billions of wires running through my pc -_-. i also plan on building another pc/or upgrading mine soon so ill just have to see how that goes

FeRaL · 21-August-03, 01:18 AM

Unfortunately displaced, just like my life right now.... I stuck in the middle of a sell off / merger right now and all the uncertainty is overflowing into my personal life....

FoeHammer · 22-August-03, 09:59 AM

My current rig is as clean as I can make it. Just don't look behind the scenes.

m3_tw0, you've got a very clean rig there, but I'd recommend moving your main power bundle away from the front of your HSF. Tuck it above the HSF, if you can.

m3_tw0 · 23-August-03, 01:46 AM

Ya FoeHammer..when my new case is done it will be like that since now I have the psu sleeved...the black stuff I have on it now makes the damn wires stiff as can be.

carbongraphite · 24-August-03, 05:10 AM

UUUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! damn IDE cables! i cant have them do what i want because of the master/slave crap. black connector, grey connector, blue. what were they thinking when they came up with this stuff? well it will be ended when we move to SATA. or if fiber channel becomes cheap.

NzC · 25-August-03, 07:09 PM

I need to work on my cabling, but i have too much crap in my case. There just isnt enough room. My 650W PSU has really long ATX-PW cable too...i just dont know where to put it.

Joose · 26-August-03, 02:45 PM

Blue (end) = motherboard
Grey (end) = master
Black (middle) = slave

Sata: only 1 drive per header, so yes...it will be done away with...

NzC: Mod the motherFOKKER! cut it to length and reattach the molex...just make sure you label the wires on both sides before you cut!!! (and unplug it...

)

You know I wish it looked like my parts were wirless but with water cooling it is hard to do. I have 2 hard drives one cd burner and one rebuse with swiftech cooling on both the cpu and the video card. I figured I would wait to do the very very clean wiring for when I move into my new case.

AMD Daddy · 31-August-03, 12:49 AM

This is as close as you can get to looking super clean without sleeving I guess:

BigAkita · 31-August-03, 03:41 PM

Here's an oldie for all you gray modders:

carbongraphite · 31-August-03, 10:33 PM

i finnaly was able to get a good picture by useing a tripod and a few filters. but lighting conditions are still terrible. its the best photo i could get with out moveing the case to another location.
notice my top CC died so the top is dark.
i know its a pre mod case but it was a gift so i might as well use it for now.

HawkEye_Pierce · 02-September-03, 12:24 PM

Stickers on the PSU??? Come on man

carbongraphite · 02-September-03, 09:28 PM

the cert stickers on the PSU that tell you it passed the quality control tests and the sticker that tells the model number and such? do you want me to take them off or something? i guess i could put on a acrylic cover and slap on some lights.

HawkEye_Pierce · 04-September-03, 07:59 PM

I dono, I just hate stickers! I can't even live with calibration stickers on my minty fresh test equipment!

BTW kickass job on the sleving, i just think all 'dem stickers take away from it.
