ur pix are abit too big ler...try to make it small.... or use imageshack.us and attach the thumbnail to ur post.

anyway, ur sleeving is alright, just that u need to make the heatshrinks better. didnt seem like they shrink at all. i suggest going out and spending RM1 for a lighter.

cable management... especially for ur 20/24pin atx cable...goes right over ur cpu hsf. not good. and what in gods name is that huge heatsink on ur gc? wats it there for?

oh yeah...seems uve setup ur rig for UV..but dont see any tubes oso

just out of curiosity... do u have UV lights in ur rig? if u do then take a pic of the case in the dark with UV lights on. wanna see ler...heheheh

if dun have then nm la.... main thing to do is to do some cable management. u can either hide behind the mobo tray (if ur case has room there), behind the drive bay or inside the drive bays.

EDIT: oh yeah...pls do explain whats that big heatsink fan on ur GC?

Nope , look carefully .
The card is Mounted ON Casing slot 2 , But motherboard PCI slot 1 ...
So the card bend until like that ... doh.gif
It should be mounted under the GC ..

behind the mobo is not the only place u can hide ur cables ler.........u can also hide behind the hdd bay or even inside the cdrom bay.

use cable ties. they really help.

Jus stuff every cable beside the HDD rack. Close the right side panel 1st then fold everything nicely and sumbat into the lil gap on the side of the HDD.

If u r changing case then jus bring ur whole CPU to the shop and ask them to do it for you. Yesterday went to LYP and i saw some pretty case there but most oso shining 1.

I think you could go acrylic casing. You do not have that much hardware. The cables look nice. Add UV lamps and UV reactive material and I think you are done.

hohoho...
may be i dun want new casing anymore..
i've done my 1 week work(pasang,buang,pasang,buang)till i got the best result(for me).
it easier when got new wide mobo(NF8) rather than kv8pro(small)..
why..?
maybe i'll upload da pic tonite..
then u'll know da different between wide mobo n small mobo install on my casing..
hope can get good feedback.

also the ugly soundcard i've take it out..coz my new nf8 got better sound card.

the casing budget will swap to water cooler...
HAHAHAHA...x sabar nak pakai water cooler...
musti rig lagi gempak kan...

Well..i dont think you really need to replace the casing...it looks bad now cos its multi colored biggrin.gif

I say give it one color...paint the casing along with the drive bezels....maybe black or something...

Also, someone suggested getting a lighter to make the heatshrink sleeving shrink properly...might not be the best idea cos a lighter might leave black residue on the heatshrink..id advise a hairdryer if you have it...to seal the end's of the heatshrink to prevent it from fraying, go and get a pair of scissors with THICK or GOOD rubber grips...go to your kitchen stove or somewhere and heat up the scissors..test with a spare bit of heatshrink to see if its hot enough to melt it...if it is, then cut the heatshrink to the lengths you want it.

Wiring can be done well with patience...do each component one by one...perhaps get rounded PATA cables...

For me, I don't bother with heatshrink cos I only use black sleeves and nothing else. Just tape the ends with black electrical tape...kau tim already. Lagi senang. biggrin.gif

Finally hide all the cables and it looked nice.

i think i've seen you casing before.. there is some blink blink lights on the big power up button right?

cable tie the cables can dee.. no need to hide if you're doing UV. after all UV is to show all the shining cables. da cacing effects. cheap way of modding your casing? spray the whole interior with black. that should make your cables look a bit neat.

Black cable ties should do the trick but if you don't mind seeing them. You can still hide them.
