1) Not enough Pictures.
2) Did you modify anything?
3) It looks like the inside of a fairly average computer.

I'm really sorry, but presentation counts. If you want people to score your computer higher you'll have to make it a bit more interesting.

Poor excuse for a presentation

The caps lock key is not that far away


The 3 only comes from my generosity that rig is nothing special

Ok, I will just say that it looks fair because I don't see anything customized, you just build it up, like legos :D

Nothing special. No mods. Poor pictures.

This is why I give you a 3...it takes effort to get good ratings here.

Man it's the little things that get votes here.

Wiring is decent, but a far cry from good. Cd-rom drives are black, and floppy drive is white. Five minutes and five bucks will get you silver everything. Your back fan needs to be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled the opposite way. PSU fans need a cleaning, and I'm guessing the same for the other fans. If you spend $50 on better fans, wire loom, and spray paint you will increase your rating to at least 6.

De-cap the specs please. It appears you are shouting them, or just being childish.

I know you must be happy since you got a new system... Right? Cable management and please take way more photos, make them high resolution, sometimes some people's PC just dont have the "Aura".
