Well I finally took some pictures of my system and would like some feedback. The wires aren't as bad as they look!! Honest! The big 24pin motherboard one is the worst as it is huge!!! In the summer holidays I am going to try and sort them out a bit. They are getting on my nerves NOW but as I shall be upgrading in the summer then seems like a logical time and I will have all the time in the world!







I'm 15 and it's my first ever build so not too bad! It's not over clocked - that may be another day's job!!

Intel Q6600
2 x 1GB 800MHZ RAM
MSI P6N SLI V2 nVidia 650i SLI Motherboard
512MB XFX nVidia 8600GTS PCI-E graphics card
320GB 7200RPM hard drive
LG DVD-RAM lightscribe drive
Linksys wireless card
Thermaltake 750w toughpower PSU
Thermal take soprano case

Also, the graphics card HAS to use the adapter it comes with to use the 4 pin molex connectors because apparently it uses the 12v and 5v rail. Is this common??? This means I couldn't use the PCI-E connectors on PSU.

Also, there is a 4pin molex connector on my motherboard which "supplies extra power to the PCI-E slot". I haven't got this plugged in and my system is running fine. I figured that as the graphics card had it's own intake and as I'm not using SLI then its ok?


Thanks for your time and look forward to your replies!
