Hello again!!

it's finally here!! just got it this morning! here are specs:

Intel Core i7 920 2.66mhz (haven't OC'ed yet)
Intel DX58SO MotherBoard
Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600mhz

Congratulations! Bet you can't wait to get everything installed and running eh? But I thought you decided on XP?

Very impressive set up, but it looks like you need to clean those cables up a bit

You should be happy with how it goes.

Yeah, i kinda changed my mind on the last minute there...

That is true, but I was talking more about the ones in the case. You need to clean them up and run them behind the mobo tray to improve airflow and cooling efficiency.

ahh... yeah, that too... i'll get to it when i have some free time... (this mobo has cables running into it everywhere) i think it'll take some time  ;)

Thanks for the tip  :)

Cheers

No probs

It does take a long time. Mine took all day to organise and clean up. I needed to mod my case because it doesn't have a removable mobo tray so I had to dremel holes into it to run the cables around the back panel, it looks really spiffy now. I would take some pics but nothing is connected as I'm waiting for my mobo to return from repair.

hmm, now that you've mentioned it, i don't think my case has any space behind the mobo tray to run cables...

the best i could do then would be to shove the cables into the empty front bay slots, to get them out the way as much as possible... or maybe tie them together...

either way... i'll see what i can do  ;)

Cheers

Mine isn't too bad. I have the Antec 900 and fortunately that has a back panel tray with some pre-drilled holes into the mobo tray. So I was easily able to run many of the cables through the back and open up much free space. You should see the mess of cables right in front of the power supply though I'd take a picture.... but my girlfriend has my camera..... oh boy :-/

oh, btw, i installed photoshop this morning, and tried out my photoshop controller idea... worked even better than expected
