yep I know a little untidy on the cables, it is difficult having 6 Drives though in this case :)

Need to sort out those cables man, must be well annoying if you ever need to remove a drive.

Also . . Why aint the DVD Drive at the top?

What the specs?

well reason being, heres a look at the front, notice the pretty zalman fan controller :) that`s why the dvd drive is not at the top :)

specs are not anything amazing, it does what it needs too do for what i use the computer for.........

as far as the cables go, well........i have lots of tie-wraps - don`t see the point at the moment sorting them all out, as i wish to purchase some more drives, get rid of the ones i currently have and maybe just have two or three very large sata drives on raid. so will be upgrading my storage soon, which will be a nightmare, True Image will have at least 160GB to backup to a restore image.... and then another 600+ GB of junk.........which i just can`t seem to have the heart to delete hehe :)

Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe
Audigy 2 ZS 24bit
4X 512mb DDR400 in 128bit mode (dual channel)
7600GT256 DDR3 Nvidia Card PCI-E
Modded Chipset Fan on Mobo - (last one got stuck had to remove and replace)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800

all connected from a DVI to HDMI cable into a Samsung 40" TV

also connected to the Yamaha DTS amp you can see behind in the pic :)

and notice the USB to PS2 controller convertor - great for playing games on the pc through the TV :)

and catching those fav tv episodes in 5.1

was formally using a cube system for the livingroom, i`ve brought my main system through though for now - as it deals with HD content much better, the cube system was on a network and the main system was through in the office, i will soon be building a desktop style case which will handle HD output for watching HD content from the web.......

pic of front of case.........

you need a proper PSU matey... and water - PCs need watercooling...

What amp is it? I've got a Yamaha DSP-E800 and although very good, I'm tempted to replace it.

It's got a stunning colour display and even has a passthrough to tell you your PCs actual power consumption from the wall - we tested one with an 8800GTX and an old Pentium D (125W CPU - two prescotts!) and under load the system pulled 250W from the wall - the PSU in use was a 550W Aerocool - makes you wonder who needs a 1000W PSU...

Yea a new psu will be my next purchase I think.......

I have used a wattage calculator however, and it`s "just" in range, it`s been running fine for months..........

soon i will look to purchase a thermaltake PSU :)

hopfully that will also tidy up the wires a little hehe

PC's do not NEED watercooling....

How the heck would he install a watercooling system in that !?

No Room. And Pointless.

Well PCs don't need neon lights either... they truly are pointless - and don't get me started on illuminated fans... :evil:

Good effort on the tidying of cables

BUT, why not put the 24 pin ATX cable behind the metal mobo tray as per green path on pic, and the red is only exposed area.

Also all the yellow highlights again can these not be hidden behind mobo tray or behind hard drive trays? and only the needed bits sticking out?
