I gave up trying to hide the wiring LOL

Yeah, sometimes as Im trying to find creative places to put wires, I think "So the fk what? It's a damn computer, it has wires inside it... why are they such a bad thing?"

But then I see a wire hanging over my sexy new video card and get all pissed off and spend a few more hours relocating wires. :)
