Replaced my Netgear NWR3500L which had a very nice flat look so it was easy to just put under the desk. This DIR-826L though... not so much. But this works too. That is the base of a monitor arm BTW.

Ergonomics is everything!

Not a mod in such but a way to keep those cables in check out of the PC.

I had spare fan grills lying around from disassembled Pentium 4 LGA775 era computers with Intel mobos. Turned them into coasters but my mug wouldn't fit on them. What'chu know about mugs?

Also turned 3 office computers into one because most of the parts were dead or motherboards only supported AGP which was a dealbreaker though I do have a Radeon HD 3650 512MB which would be perfect.

Tried the computer with a power supply which I thought was still kicking after about 10 years of work. Let's just say it can RIP now after I left it running a stability test. Now I got a Pentium 4 3GHz w/ HT which is isn't doing anything, I just need a power supply that can handle this hot mess. I would use it to play retro games which frankly don't work on anything past Win XP but, meh. My old Asus F50N laptop can run anything up until 2004 even with an integrated GPU. That reminds me, I'm itching to play some Unreal Tournament 2004.

With some more cutting and bending you'd be able to make sides so it doesn't slip around as much

Yup, you could use paper towel roles if ya liked

, maybe so if the cable is to long to fit a toilet role although you would have to find a box to fit them as well.

heres how i fixed the messy cables under my desk

AsRock · Mar 27, 2016

Well XFX come though again and sent me a 390 cooler for my 290X with pretty results, Used OCCT and the total system draw is 495-512w. And may i say all so, no game has taken the system over 390w and games normally only run typically 200w-290w.

Result

MasterFilms · Mar 27, 2016

not ghetto enough imo

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Mar 27, 2016

We have it on ours but it has memory foam on the other side, you just wait till you get older and see who's fussy then haha.

I have a box literally of cable's(not in use) its about 25 pounds, I hate having to move it when I move. Don't even ask about the family album/photo's they weight in around 70 pounds in a box.

AsRock · Mar 30, 2016

Better start collecting haha.

Maybe one of these for the photo's lol

Another mod coming soon, kinda weird one too which involves a X38 heatsink, i had to keep those lovely copper heatsinks in case some thing popped up, well part of it ended up on a RC car which has been posted already in this thread but this another part of it.

Ruru · Apr 6, 2016

I guess my PC built in an ancient case is suitable for this thread

Yeah, no cable management at all since I'm just too lazy for that when I use a bad chassis. Probably ordering a Phanteks Eclipse P400S Windowed next monday.. :toast:

Accelero Hybrid III-120, nothing special... except my DIY memory heatsinks... :laugh:

Can you spot my ghetto mod? Well look at the psu. I accidentally messed the mod up, so now it looks ghetto. I used plastic from a regular 99cent binder to hide the ugly psu branding. Easy sexy mod, but ghetto if you mess it up.

luckily I can fix it

Caring1 · Apr 11, 2016

Turning the PSU over so the fan faced down would hide that too :slap:
