so here's the deal i had my hdd's set in raid 0 and one of them crashed on me so i lost everything but no big deal i took out the fried hdd and now I'm running off of one 250 gig. so i decided it was a time for an upgrade i took my hole computer apart and decided to rebuild it myself (which was rather fun). i didn't add anything new really beside a new 12cm fan in the back and replaced the stock CPU cooler with a zalman one.

so here's wat it looks like now:

its not much but its cheep and it can play all the latest games on high settings with good fps

o i forgot to say I'm waiting on 2 500 gigs to get here so i can place them in raid 1+0 or maybe just raid 0 again i really like the performance and ill use the 250 gig as a back up tell me wat u guys think

Nice. Good Job with the wire management with the zip ties lol that one of my pet peveaves when building my pc's lol, it must be Clean for good air flow.

lmao, that was my goal when building mine, but once I reached that stage I was just like 'F*CK it.'

Good work though.

lol no i just hid them very good lol ill take a pic of the other side off and so u were there all at lol

Well i see some blue zip ties lol.

yea the main power cables are nice but all the fan wires are just kinda ziptied together and stuffed out of the way

REMEMBER: MORE LCDS = MORE POWERFUL COMPUTER

LOL i was gonna say that shit looks more like a night club than a F*CKIN computer, bet its better than mine tho....u bastard Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_21

Looks clean man. Better cable management than mine has. Are you running dual video cards?

I'm just asking because I don't see any bridge connecting them? Yellow_Flash_Colorz_PDT_21

yea im running them in sli just forgot to put the connecter back on

Very nice and clean. I couldnt keep mine that clean my PS has too many damn cables.

I just bought 2 - 1TB drives for a raid 1 config for peace of mind. I'm in the process of trying to fill them up lol.

Onboard sound? EWWWW

yea i no but its ok for now

Nice Double. Wish my comp was that bada$$.

No shame in that! I've yet to have an actual soundcard in a PC I've built.

yea number one on my list is now a power supply with modular cables it looks even cleaner and so i can upgrade more in the future

I'm not an expert on PS but I've read that modular cables are bad. I think since there's an added connection (where the cables plug into the PS) there is somewhat of a power loss so whatever you plug it into isnt getting enough power?? It's something like that. I'm OCD about my PS, I always buy high quality power supplies. Last thing I need is a PS failure or mishap and all my shit is dead.

Soundcard > a new PSU when you already have a PSU that works.

Who needs a soundcard? Get a entertainment system for your house when you want music / tv / movie on.

I've heard of the same thing that you're talking about Vision.

If you're going with a modular PSU I would just make sure to get more than you need that way you don't run into any problems. I have the Corsair TX750 and it has a pile of cables so I could see why a modular PSU would be appealing though.
