Show Us Your Rig [5]

Here are some pics of my rig.....it's dirty and it will be getting a good cleaning now that we are having some decent weather. Wiring still needs to be finished because I'm lazy, but it will be one day. Thinking of calling up SeaSonic to try to get my hands on their new all black PSU cable kit......that would help me out tremendously!

That is a sweet looking rig. If you don't mind a suggestion, you could take a black felt pin to the non-black portions of the cables coming off the bottom of the mobo or slip a wrap sleeve over them. Then "train" the cables to run parallel to the botom of the MOBO until they reach the front panel cables running straight down and bundle them all together. Same for the PSU cables, either color them or slip a wrap sleeve over them, then bundle them together.

Thanks guys! The white cable goes to my card reader and it irritates me every time I have to look at it. I have plans on making my own sleeved cable to replace it. Not only is it an eye sore, it is a tad short to route it how I want.

Sneak it behind the MOBO? Taking a felt pen to it would avoid adding thickness to it. You can also get USB header extension cables.

Thank you Lady Fitzgerald! All the cables that I can easily wrap, will be wrapped......I don't have the patience you do when it comes to wiring lol. I had big plans to make my own individually sleeved cables, but that didn't last long :) Honestly, at the moment, the rig is recessed in my desk and the only time it is visible is when I'm working on it or doing some light cleaning. I will get around to it one day.

LOL! It wasn't patience; it was anal insanity. Don't worry, we won't rush you.

I know, I know.....it's on my list. Soon enough! :)
