It hurts me just to think about the idea of that happen to me. I wish I had a machine like that. Never mind to have one and then lose it all. I would seriously cry. Thinking of this makes me want to put my computer in a fire proof safe. I on,y spent 570 on my already built computer from BestBuy. I would cry over this computer never mind yours. I can not even write anymore. I am getting sadder and sadder thinking about it.

This is my new build with my attempt at cable management I did clean up the ones under the SSD today since I got my new HDD in.

At the moment I had it sitting on the kitchen table our house caught on fire last month so things are pretty chaotic and the rental is a mess.

That thing is sooo beautiful. I love it. I want one so bad!. I am going to build one someday. I can not wait. I will be posting it on here. bragging so much. I will probably cry when I finish it. If I ever do get one. I really want a home built bad ass computer sooo bad seriously.

Thank you I appreciate the complement I will try and get a better picture with the new HDD installed and the better cable management. The PSU cables weren't as long as I was hoping but I managed. This build ended up costing 1440 when I finally checked out. It was originally about 1600 bucks.

Here are some better pics I just took, got the comp desk in today and got everything on it and hooked up took a few pics on the tower with the new brick of a HD in it and as you can tell I don’t have as many cables jumbled under it I would of took the back panel off to show the cable management but it’s a hassle getting back on.

I do have future plans for the PC but for now it is amazing. Any idea on upgrades?

crazyeyeschase,
Great build and the wire management comes with time and vision. It's almost like it becomes the second and or more phases of the build. I've found that NZXT has some wicked cool looking cables and they will be in my next build !

I love electrical but hate wires it's pretty strange. I cannot stand loose wired but in this case it's just to difficult. The 8 pin ATX power runs behind my vga same with the IO audio wire the power wire barley fits not my ideal location but it will have to do.

Sata cables are a little harder to deal with then I thought and my semi modular PSU still has power wires I don’t use. All the IO wires were pre ran but there was still a ton of slack at the end so I ended up tightening them up a bit I think for now the cable management is done I don’t really plan on opening the case again until I have new parts or I get bored which happens a lot lol.

kellymac35,
Nice overall upgrade. Were you running a ssd drive before? I'll bet you're seeing a huge difference in video and hard drive performance. I'm holding out for an larger ssd drive but living fine with the 64gb currently. Very clean installation with excellent wire management......I'd expect nothing less ! Cheers

Would you mind posting the ballpark figure as to the cost of that upgrade? I'd want to bet it's more then most people spend on an entire system.. Around my neck of the woods it would be around $1800.00 plus tax.......

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Not so much on the ballpark. Quick enough to price out with online vendors. Easy to spend more on just a SSD then many do on their entire system as well !
