Check out the BEFORE and AFTER shots of my rigs guts...

I spent some time cleaning up the interior of my computer tonight. I am really surprised how much cleaner it looks. Check it out.

Let me know what you think or if you have more tips.

Details of My Hardware

looks good

i would try to use some more wire loom and hide some of the power cables up top and that ribbon cable at the very bottom.

Looks better! Whats that huge piece of loom doing there? IMHO, it looks like crap. I would look into using wire mesh (svc and others have it) for your power supply cables.

 

[cmaMath13]

Thanks for the feed back. I will look into getting some wire looms.

amdskip,

I was hoping you would have some pictures of the interior of your rig to see how it's done the right way. Oh well, maybe you can post some pics in the near future.

Maybe you took my post the wrong way. The ONLY part that looks like crap is that huge piece of wire loom. I don't have any pics but I can work on that.

amdskip,

No, I didn't take it the wrong way. You did say it looks better. I appreciate the feedback. I just figured you would have some pics on your website, so I could get some ideas from you.

I did go to SVC and saw some of that mess/loom, but I was not sure what diameter to get. Any ideas?

Thanks.

amdskip and I used 1/4" for the PSU wires. You have to take the connectors off to get it on there, but it's well worth it and it looks great.

Is it difficult to take connector off and replace? I would not want to skew up my Enermax Power Supply.

Not Too Bad

Try moving one stick of the RAM one slot away from the other. That'll help it run cooler with those heat spreader on

I'd suggest hiding as much of the wiring as possible behind the PSU, motherboard tray and drive bays. That way you don't have to put that ugly sleeving all over everything. I also perfer using regular flat ribbon IDE cables and folding them out of the way.

RalfHutter,

That wiring job is awesome. Thanks for the advice. By the way, you don't run a Floppy? I only see a hhd and cd-rom of sorts.

Thanks.

Good job.

I certainly do run a floppy drive. Look at Pic #2. It's in the removable 3.5" bay right below the 5.25" bays. You must've blinked and missed it.

I think I'm gonna have to do this... the inside of my rig is terrible.
