im slightly ahead of schedule, here are some of the pics i took.


i guess i should start eating back my words when i told the nvidia fanboys that i wont buy an NF4.

after 5 formats with the A8R and a second trip down to KL to get a replacement, here she is -the lanparty NF4 ultra:



my new platform and system in their places:




specially taken for r4ydc24



i regret not taking DFI boards seriously in the past. the one i was working with yesterday had a certain 'charm' i never felt since i sold the IC7max3 from Abit. lovely touches all over. i must now PM an extremely helpful chap about my sins of not seeing the light he was shining in

edit: oh, and did i mention im starting to hate ASUS? i think im going to lump ASUS into the wave of hatred i have for MSI

I'm not sure where to post this but I'm sure most of you have similiar problems with cables and wires running all over your table.

Anyone find a neat solution to hide those wires?

I've already gone wireless where ever possible such as using bluetooth keyboard and mouse but I still have a lot of wires.

1) 4 wires for sattelite speakers + 1 for speaker remote + 2 for front and rear input + 1 for subwoofer power

2) 2 power cable (1 for CPU and 1 for LCD) + 1 power adaptor cable for wireless router/modem + 1 phone wire from wall to router/modem.

3) 2 USB cables (1 to LCD and 1 to my digital cam dock)

Anyone wanna show pics of their cbale management so I have some ideas?

black plastic type of cover. kinda hard to explain to you. try open up the car hood and take a look

huhuhu...not nice cable management boley join kar?

i think u can do a better job for d sata cables...

well, you certainly can do better. first of all, those USB/firewire extentions should be kept unless you really need them. if you really DO need them, put them to the lowest slot. that should ease alot of the eye sore

secondly, as SeLrAhC mentioned: the sata cables. you can do what i did to by tucking them to the 'other' side [pics on the top of the page]. currently, they just look like onion rings!

apart from that, just a little here and a little there and you'd be all set

here is My GF Computer.. i did some cable management for her... It been a long time i din use pc liaw.. so my tangan gatal...

Here the result..

It is quite nice but just feel that the grey cables that connects to ur mobo is a bit in the way...

why dont shift the PCI plate to lower level so that is does not overlap with other cables...sleeve it blue if u can

any suggestion... still not satisfy with the cable management yet... not stealth at all

nope.. no UV CCFL inside...i din close the side panel for other side..

The IDE Cables maybe need to sleeve if go time.. but i just arrange the cable for my gf's com..

I still got one pc to do cable management... my own pc.. still messy... i really miss my prev pc.. haihz...

excellent work. thats really nice

hmmm id stop if i were you. id be satisfied already

btw, how is the accelero? does it bend your gcard at all? i heard it isnt very heavy, but im still curious.

and i miss those fat boy PC6xs. theyre just so wide and long, look at the bloody internal spacing....

no problem as long as u fit it properly and the alignment of ur mobo to the tray is perfect... nth wrong would happens...

previously i had bad alignmnet of mobo and the tray which causes the gc and sound card having difficulty in slot in and take out with out much force...

so be cautious of the alignment when screwing it down...

Err... not sure if you guys would consider my 30-minute job here "nice", but it's just something I managed to whip-up for one of my customers. Built the rig for him actually




Nothing fancy really. Done only using some tape & a few strands of wire-tie
