Posted May 25, 2013 Well, this isn't really much of a 'build' log, as this rig has been finished for sometime. But I had it apart and made a couple changes to it today. I rotated the PSU to its current orientation and redid all of the cable management (didn't have much of a choice, I had to cut all the zipties when I flipped the PSU). I also tried to tidy things up inside, Not sure I was successful or not. I'm rather displeased with the appearence of the cables for the power supply. When I installed it, I had to cut off a portion of the heat shrink used to hold on the sleeving because it made the ends of the cables really stiff. I was afraid I was going to put too much strain over time on the connectors. As a result more of the wires then I would like are exposed. Everything else is wired about as good as i can get it with the current case and layout. Without further ado, here she is(I apologise for bad shots, I had to use my phone's camera to take these, they looked better on the tiny screen :( ) : Let me know what you think! Its my first personal rig. Its not pretty, but its blue! I am whatever I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2013 Author Thanks guys! :D The cable mgmt is about as managed as it can get lol. One of these days, PSU makers will start attaching the sata connectors the proper way.

Posted May 25, 2013 It looks really good, but man im getting tired of blue builds it seems like every build is either blue or red and black, theres nothing wrong with it i just dont really care for blue but blue aside i really like your build looks really nice i5 3570 | MSI GD-65 Gaming | OCZ Vertex 60gb ssd | WD Green 1TB HDD | NZXT Phantom | TP-Link Wifi card | H100 | 5850 “I snort instant coffee because it’s easier on my nose than cocaine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2013 Author It looks really good, but man im getting tired of blue builds it seems like every build is either blue or red and black, theres nothing wrong with it i just dont really care for blue but blue aside i really like your build looks really nice I think the reason for that is so many boards from all 'ends' of the market are either blue or red accented on a black PCB. I already had the PSU, so I kinda made a build colored around that, and I like blue. Thanks for the comment! :) I am whatever I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 25, 2013 Author Thanks. :) I'll get around to uploading pics of the other side to show the cable 'management' eventually. I am whatever I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted May 25, 2013 That's a sexy blue/black theme you've got there. I think a nice blue lighting at the top shinging down on the ram and cooler would really push it into looking very awesome.

I completely agree. A strip of blue Alchemys would accent it very nicely. Think I will buy them when I upgrade my GPU. I am whatever I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
