my new rig...

[Raging]

well here are a few pics of my new rig (first ive built too),just about finished only minor things/touches to go....i think i did a pretty good job with the cabling?

let me know what you think of it

pics taken by my nokia 7610(night mode pwnz,brightest pic is nm)

will update at a later date when i have better pics etc...

note the glowing xfx logo on my 7800gt 1337

oh and i almost forgot,thanks to kempez for the inspiration of painting a fan wit uv paint

cheers.

 

[MikeEnIke]

You didn't hide the cables very well... But's it is still nice looking. Good job

 

[FragTek]

Lookin' good mate. Needs some cable management but besides that, lookin' 1337!

Love the glowy stuff mate...good work!!! You'll nedd to do something with the cabling though, it not only looks a little untidy for a see through case, but it's gonna choke the cooling efficiency of your case and fans. My suggestion is to either re-route them, or tie them back. Nice work though

 

[Raging]

thanks for the comments,i thought the cables werent too bad

i dont really see anywhere else to route them as the stacker is a big case

i will try my best tho.

cheers.

Yeah the stacker is a large case, and you probably won't notice a lot of difference to the temps until summer comes around again for you guys, but the last thing you want to have to do is keep the side off the case just to keep it cool (Dust and bugs will love you lol). What sort of fans are you using for the intake and exhaust on the stacker? Anyway mate, if you like your wiring the way it is, 'grats to ya, I love the colours

 

[FarFarAway]

Nice mate. Methinks I recognise the style of the paint on that CPU fan

The stacker is a big case but with a bit of work ya can usually get it fairly tidy

 

[bloodthirst]

sorry kemp lol but hey raging savage look at this picture of kemps cable tidying with a cm stacker, maybe you can get some ideas, i think this is very well done for the magnitude of the case

 

[FarFarAway]

hehe thats no probs dude

It does take quiet a bit of tidying in the stacker case, but its worth it.

Did you notice that you only have one cathode working raging-savage?

Yeah he mentioned it to me last night... I forgot what happened to the other one, I think it died.

I think my are on the way out the door, they're getting so friggin' dim that I can barely tell that I have 4 of the bastids in my case.

yeah the other one bloody broke

where are all your cables matt? lol that is sooo tidy

and pv,i am using the 3 stock case fans supplied with the case,1x80mm exaust(top),1x120mm front intake(flowing over hdd's/cables) and a rear 120mm fan but i cant remember if that is intake or exaust,and a 120mm 86cfm panaflow on the hs and a 5cfm blue led chipset cooler on the cool pipe thing

 

[FarFarAway]

Routed either inside the drive bays or a couple of them are behind the motherboard tray.

I've used cable ties and cable routing bits and pieces to get the wires attatched to the right place

 

[hawkinsa21]

Looks good mate, I'm getting a stacker, plenty of room to customize

ps - kemp is right about the cables, as you've got rounded ones they should be fairly easy to route along the sides or being the drive bays.....

Very nice job considering your first build

What do people see in stackers?

 

[FarFarAway]

Give ya a clue:

They're BIG

 

[FragTek]

What do people see in stackers?

Stackers are awesome... Specially if you want to build up a custom wc loop. The pre cut out panel at the bottom is the perfect area to mount the rad which is the hardest part about building up a custom wc loop.

It took me a while to get my case top perfectly modded for my rad, but omfg did it turn out secksy in the end

 

[Raging]

i dont think i will re route any cables as the cable you see are either braided or covered in uv green spiral wrap and i like how it looks lol

and temps are sweet btw.

cheers.

Oh yes it is :worship: ... but mine is better :rollingla

Keep in mind my case has 3 holes already cut for the rad

I guess you guys win about the stacker, the TT Armor is not too bad too
