Holy high-end parts Batman! You should try working an pretty-ing up those cables!

LiveOrDie

yer still don't no what i can do with them there all over the place lol

The first solution to the wire issue , is to flip the PSU. Altho this requires some good measuring and cutting a good size hole in the bottom of the case. Then if you want you can dremmel holes in the mobo tray to make them go behind.....good luck.

Very nice set up tho(quality parts)

LiveOrDie

thanks mite just do that

Nice rig. 7/10 until you get the cables sorted a little more (although I heard it is a tough case for cable management).

BTW looking at you screenshot, your temps with that vcore - I would expect that in Alaska, not Australia.

I Like i like. THat's some nice stuff right there. Nice OC too.

Very tough case for cable management (drimmeling may be needed)! But take a look at my case, I'll vote when I see better cable management.

EDIT: Also...don't turn that PSU over, that's asking for problems!

Sure it isnt???????????? where would you come up with that...since the 900 has it upside down in the first place!

Ravenas

Well, it's an option with drimmeling, just seems like more of a hassel than anything else.

major diff is that with your PSU , the wires are already at the back....with the fan type you are forced to flip PSU upsidedown to make it fit. this puts the wires into the open side and a real P.I.T.A. to manage....well worth the fan hole in the bottom to me...have a look same type PSU just mine is flipped.

Nice parts!! Yeah cables are so, so...
You might also want to list how many GB of RAM you have (for those of us who aren't familiar with the Reaper).

7/10, but definite 10/10 potential with a little work and modification.
Awesome build, congrats!

Ravenas

That's understandable, but still you have to raise your case (like yours) to get sufficent airflow.

#13

LiveOrDie

i can't turn my PSU over wont fit and what about the fan ? wont get any air flow to it and i have 4GB of ram

#14

Ravenas

What he is saying is that you have to drimmel a hole in the bottom of your case for your PSU fan. Afterwards, you have to develope a method of raising your case, so that your PSU fan will have airflow.

#15

LiveOrDie

ok i got ya what did you do with your PSU in your case do you have a fan on yours

#16

Ravenas

My PSU fan is on the side instead.

Knows what makes you tick

Cables man, Cables. Otherwise it's a NICE machine. 7/10

#18

Chewy

I thinkI gave you a 7/10, when you comeout with rev.2 I'll vote again. all those cables are really restricting air-flow.

Mine has a fan yes, it is the GSX700 by OCZ . i did dremmel a hole and yes the feet....I went to my local hardware store and bought 1.5 inch PVC plubing caps...painted them black and used 3M doublesided tape to mount!

LiveOrDie

#21

LiveOrDie

i mite just run the cables along the bottom to the back of the case and put 3 hold in to run the cables tho

nice work how long do u want to keep it before another build

#23

niko084

Looks pretty nice, just curious how loud is that case with all those fans in it?

I was considering building another computer for gaming strictly and using that case because of the massive air flow it allows. But I don't really want a jet in my office...

#24

LiveOrDie

i usually keep a system about a year maybe mid next year will stairt a new build,
its not that loud realy the fans have 3 speeds i leave them all on low

I have the same case and it really is a pain, I looked at this thread to get some ideas but since I have low end stuff decided it wasnt worth it to put the effort that guy did.
