Wow i didnt expect it to be so shiny 

[Liam-McShane]

Yeah, it doesn't normally look like that. I had to put a light source on the PC due to my crappy Nexus 4 camera. <_<

Ok nice upgrade btw

Update time 

 

So i recently got my hands on a Samsung 840 250GB and i wasn't happy with the mess of the extra cables. So i did something about it

 

 

I used double sided velcro to attach the SSD to the case and then i routed the cables through some holes. It was a tight fit.

 

 

I then set about the hard drive. To make my plan work i had to mount it upside down.

 

 

The power cable went happily through the top hole for the IO cables to come through. The data cable was too short so i removed 2 little prongs so it would fit. 

 

 

The end result is something i am happy with

 

 

My next enemy to take care of. Too short of a molex to floppy adapter. Maybe next time...

Yeah it really makes the difference. Especially in CPU bound games. Money well spent

Thank you, it was what i was going for

[Liam-McShane]

Well the GTX 780 had a bad fan which took ages to get refunded. So instead i bought an MSI R9-290 GAMING on sale. Photos below. 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully this time i'm finished
