Innovision nVidia 8800GTS 320MB OC Edition
MSI K9N Diamond
500GB SATA HDD, Western Digital

Mods:
Blue UV cable sleeving, 2 12" UV cathodes, 2 12" blue cathodes, 2 4" blue cathodes, 1 6" blue 'bubble' cathode, 5 blue LED case fans, fan filters.

Changing the pictures to reflect the new wiring didn't want to work, so I created a new gallery entry.

This is my first PC build. Yes, I know the cables are shocking. Any advice about how to hide cables which are an inch in diameter and ramrod-stiff is appreciated. Obviously, the general theme is blue.

Sometimes it can be a pain to update the 'case gallery' pics....but bare with it, they do eventually change lol (you just cant see it at first :( )

I like how youve redone the wiring, its loads better :) It can be hard to hide ALL of the wiring (tbh, I gave up on trying with my system)

All in all, a very good first build :)

PS: a little tip, the black converter that the cathodes plug in to is easily hidden in the hdd area with some double sided sticky pads ;)

Hehe thanks for the tip! The converter at the bottom runs the two cathodes at the rear of the case, and so the cable is too short for it to go in the drive cage with the others. So, I got some double-sided sticky velcro and attached it to the side of my graphics card :D Looks slightly better than being suspended mid-air!

oic, the cables are short on those things :( I think I got away with it because my cathodes are mounted at the bottom and top :)

Good idea on the mounting, just make sure it doesnt get hot and effect your graphics card ;) (tbh Ive never checked to see if it generates heat)
