either the original CM cases did not have the frucking metal cages at the top or whoever owns this casing removed it, but it surely reduces ALOT of noise.

anyway, thread starter, the connectors on the mobo is already very well placed, still need help kah?

i think everyone here is a fan of computer internals, why dont you post some of yours?

i think they originate from [h]ard forum. id recommend EVERYONE to go there and have a look. the pic quality is just lovely, the hardware lovelier still. be careful, your keyboard might be full of saliva!!

not all of us are familiar with your rig, we dont keep track of what people changed or mod, so please let us know what u did to it lerrrr

holy sh!t. an Icute PSU!!! my god!! my eyes! my eyes!

btw, i dont really like fully transparent casings. you cant hide the cables and it lets you see unncessary things. a side window can allow you to focus on the main parts when you look at the casing...

whoa... white ccfls really look good... ive been contemplating for months wheter to get some myself

hi scotty
if you dont have a windowed sidepanel, then nevermind lar... just shut the case and kau tim!

whoa, thats an original cooler master casing, note the reinforcement beam in the second pic. awesome

active thermal convection system... blah... i prefer to call them the 'original CM casings'

i suppose you can 'push' all those cables towards the front of the casing, between the whateverROM/RW and the HDD. im talking more towards the upper half so it wont block airflow. do you have space on the 'other side'? maybe you can push the cables over there, thats what many of us do. if your sidewindow is a custom job, then i'd say its 'highly unfortunate'. you shoudnt have the window cut so high because you can wrap ALL those cables to one huge knot and put them all up there without them being seen thats what i still do... its the easiest!

did you know theres an 'EDIT' button to edit your post for stuff like these?

about that picture that ikan_semilang posted, i noticed the guy is using a single rail for all 4 HDDs? is that good?

i try not to mix the HDD rail with the gcard or cd/dvd/wahetevr/ROM drives...

the pic also shows its age: PATA cables? gcards that dont need an external power connector?

waddya think of mine?

with:


and without the sidepanel:


edit: yeayea, i know, that bloody blue anaconda that feeds my gcard fresh blood. the gcard's power connector is loose [heh, blame it on yourself for the itchy fingers ] so putting the snake this way kinda applies pressure to the connecotr...

the blue version does not react to UV lighting

its a coolermaster [sniper and all lianli fans!!] gaytorian.

well, as you can see with the sidepanel on, you can barely see it

the camera was placed on the table, if you were to sit on my chair, youd be looking down on the casing and those cables would magically fade out of sight.

i dont like to hide it behind the mobo tray because you can see all the mess of cables going 'down there'. theres a small gap between the PSU bay and the mobo tray that if you were to push cables down there, you can see it.

ill be leaving for national service in a week. ive already rolled pieces of paper as support pillars for the card but removed them for aesthetic reasons. i doubt my mom will complain that its ugly, so i hope the card would straighten out after 3months

thanks, i will!

btw, that fujifilm you used to snap a pic of your centurion looks awesome!

yeap

i suppose you could have the intake fan on the blowhole run at extremely low speeds, as low as possible. it should be enough to feed the CPU HSF with cool air and running it at super low speeds would prevent creating excessive noise

thanks thanks

to tell you the truth, i dont know how to get the shrinks to work!

theyre too much trouble for me and the blue 'thing' can do the job just fine, so...

well, i hope NS IS fun [ ] and thanks! i will!

hmmmm i guess youre right. should have payed more attention to the instructions, and yes, the vantec's heatshrinks being a b!tch to install was also among the main reasons why i just left it alone.

i guess im going to take the path of least resistance...

impressive. how did you hide the exhaust fan's wire?

also, the USB/PWR/HDD LED wires arent going out of the casing, is it?


edit: oooh, its a liberty PSU. i suppose it was less time consuming since you didnt have to hide the bulk of the unused cables? id be getting one in the next few days along with a couple of new stuff. i will post pics here when im done

yes, its been a very long time

i suppose our sifu here does not want to disclose info on how he hid the cables, so im going to add to the speculation

he said no additional holes were made, but theres nothing to say that the holes werent already made for him. i suppose he just pulled the cables back behind the mobo and then routed it to the front panel underneath the PATA cables, or even behind the drive itself. i suppose the same was done for the 4pin CPU power cable.

of course, he could have made 23rd century modifications to send power to the mobo wirelessly, and all these cables are just for show

im still in the midst of post-format chaos but i managed to some pics. what do ya guys think?

[x]school is irrelevant to me, i just use whatever suits my style

there are still certain things here and there that i am not bothered to sort out, but overall quite nice

thanks!
