Thanx. TBH, Im not going to bother about cable management until I get my new PSU. I think I will get rid of the IDE Pioneer 112 aswell and get the SATA Pioneer 212

Im not form Brazil, I live in the UK

Looks great. PSU might give you a little trouble though, that's a bit low IMO.

Cheers m8, it went on easy, I must have been lucky

As for temps.....Ive just been playing BioShock for 2 hours with everything on MAX....I just checked the temp and its @ 41 degrees C (thats only after about a 1 minute cool down)

Thanks m8. The PSU is holding out just fine, but TBH, it will be changed very soon, as will the motherboard (I may pop a Gigabyte DQ6 in so I can overclock even higher)

LOL, yeah its there The PSU is a POS tbh, tahts why I havent bothered trying to hide the wires etc

Hopefully I will have a new one soon and I will then try a bit of CM on it

I voted 3/10 because:

poor cable managemant

 

[steelkane]

I like the case with the 120mm fan in front, check out http://www.mnpctech.com/TurbineFanMod.html there 120mm Turbine Fan would look awesome in your case.

If that is the only reason you can come up with then beat it.

PS: if you bothered to read, I havent bothered with CM because the PSU is being swapped out asap!
