Windows 7: Show Us Your Rig [6]

the cables too long thats half the issue

its the only part of the PSU thats non modular so i cant just buy a shorter one, and i cant be bothered to cut it and solder it back as it would ruin the lovely shroud.

It doesnt actually touch the back of the mobo, but i guess i could pull it the other side of the main 24pin cable which would hold it away further. thanks for the suggestion :)

I never said cut it....

In fact I would never suggest such a thing unless you really knew what you were doing, and had a cable making kit. Anyway, NO, don't cut the cable. And... the fact that it's too long is even more reason to reposition it.

Again, just a suggestion :)

Peace

with side window on

And off

The ugly side

I dont have my fan controller yet so none of the main fans are actually plugged in. And i havent bothered with a DVD drive in this case as I never use them.

And finally my current set up

44" of ducks isnt quite enough.. still thinking about another monitor. And yes i know messy cables under desk boo hiss.. blame my cat lol who seems to enjoy pulling it down from the clips.

Looks like a sideways haf-xb. lol.

LOL! Don't blame the cat; you should know cats will do darn well whatever they please. After all, they are the bosses and merely allow their people to live with them and serve them. You just need to get better clips, put the cables in a split wire loom, or something similar to make them less tempting.

I used Photoshop to get rid of my dangling cables.
