That heatsink never fails to give me bad dreams.

DazedNFuzed · 9 May 2006 at 21:51

the seasonic power supply you have i see it sleeved?

Was it bought from ocuk?

DazedNFuzed · 9 May 2006 at 21:53

Ignore my last post ..just see! Vantec Cable Sleeving Kit - Yellow

glenimp617 · 9 May 2006 at 21:53

yes but I put all the cable management in place. Seasonics don't have any sleeves on mate

Why ?

Foehammer2003 · 10 May 2006 at 00:16

How on gods sweet earth do you guys get your cables so tidy!?! I really hope thats not your first rig, is it? Just finishing building my first and the cable management is doing my head right in! I'm using a Aerocool Gatewatch and man.... so many wires trailing everywhere!

If there is anything im missing please let me know lol.

Well impressed with your setup mate.... looks smooth :cool:

mdixson · 10 May 2006 at 00:26

similar rig here (see sig) its a very powerful machine, really cant wait to chuck a dx10 card in it and really see it shine with next gen games that actually use dual core cpus

KizZ · 10 May 2006 at 00:34

Sweet rig mate! Looks nice and neat too

Chris19 · 10 May 2006 at 04:09

Thats a nice rig and its very tidy good stuff there.

glenimp617 · 10 May 2006 at 07:55

Thanks for your comments. It isn't my first build, probably something like my 10th :eek:

Luckily my case allows me to store unwanted cables on the top next to the PSU (the akasa is very wide). The ones I have to use, I plan where they will run and try to put them behind the motherboard between the tray and the rear side panel. The ones you can see are in the vantec sleeves to make it look neat. Took me about two nights from start to finish.

Great setup - tidy and clean. Sometimes wish i'd bought an elipse.

Supercow · 10 May 2006 at 09:38

Nice specs and very nicely tidied up, but dear god thats garish and bright.
Thats the PC equivalent of boy-racer cars, all blinged up and spoilt looks

I think the reason he asked is he wanted to know if ocuk are still selling old non-sleeved seasonic psu's and it appears they are, assuming you bought it from ocuk. All seasonic psu's are now sleeved.

Same here. I have mine tied to the top of the case in case the retention bracket breaks, and i can't really move the case about without being afraid it will fall off...

Thats certainly a nice tidy setup... i don't think i've ever seen the bottom of my case.
