My Build: Ranking Up

[RankUpGamers]

This build has been up and running for about 2 months, but I decided to clean up the wiring and see if you guys think anything else should be done.

 

 

My build consists of the following parts:

Rosewill Thor v2 Black

i5 - 3570k

 

Maximus V Formula- ASUS

Galaxy 660 GC 2gb

Samsung 840 120gb

Misc HDDs

 

TO DO LIST

680

Possibly get the new 900d... for future stuffs

Get individually sleeved PSU cables.

 

Originally this is how the cables looked:

After I cleaned up a bit:

 

I had some issues with this case/rig.

My number one problem was that the fans with the h100i and the 8 pin power connecter are almost touching... Had to sand off one of the corners of the fan...

 

Another problem was that the front panel connectors are in the way of the optical drives... and the wires are ugly...

 

 

This case is a not a good choice for anyone... I really want something better (900-d) now that I have some money for a good case that I can use for a while...

It looks pretty nice, I know from experience how hard cable management can be in smaller cheaper cases (I once had a Casecom 6788).

the thor isn't a small case cheap case, so idk what you meant by that.

 

 

op, did you try mounting the cooler in the offset holes?

kinda dusty, eh? but looking good over all

I have the Rosewill Thor V2 as well. The cables for the front panel can either just get pushed behind the dvd drive or you can put the cables through the holes on the right side. There are two holes that the cables can go though. That's what I mostly did. At first I just pushed the cables back then I changed it and it works much better. I cut the zip tie off to organize the cables. Its a good case for the size and price but I agree there are a couple things I would change. So put the cables through those holes so you can manage the front panel cables behind the mobo.

One upgrade I would do is CHANGE THE BACK 140mm FAN to something else. Its noisy.

You could always use cable ties to group some of those front panel cables together, just so they are in one thick group as oppose to all over the place. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Yes, they didn't make a difference. I was saying, for the price, it is a good case, but I want a case that doesn't flex when I pick my system up... this one kinda scares me every time I touch it.
