Winter cleaning with a 650D

[WC_EEND]

since I had a week long holiday, I decided to give my 650D a good cleaning.

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]The front before the cleaning[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]The dissasembled case (I did end up taking the front bezel off)[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]The cables, GPU and wifi card (and snow outside [/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"])[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]One of the side panels, the harddrive bays, my optical drive and the AX850[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]All the internal wires[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]During reassembly[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]The back during reassembly[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]The inside, looking very clean (no pun intended) in my opinion[/font]

[font="verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif"]The other side. The back panel is still bulging a bit, but it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be.[/font]

One of my goals was also to reduce cable clutter and back panel bulge, both of which I managed to do.

Also, the pictures were taken with my phone (Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc), so I know the quality isn't 100% what it should be.

I did that the other day.... tore it apart and cleaned it out yesterday, I can not believe how much dust that case can hold.

small update, becasue some men are coming to replace windows around my house (actual windows, not Microsoft ones

) and I've had to move my rig because of that. So once that's over (should take 2-3 days), I'll get to mounting the cables. With a bit of luck, I'll have a 24-pin one as well by then.

edit: picture of my rig in it's temporary postion (my mom's room by the way, not mine)

Picture was taken with my phone in bad lighting conditions, so that's why it's a bit yellowy and grainy

Thanks for all the comments guys, I do eventuallly plan to have only blue alchemy cables in the the case, so replacing the front panel cables and the molex that pops out for the fan controller is probably next.
