Wow, I feel like a real loser having the inside of my case perfectly organized... No loose wires anywhere, it's all wrapped with this neat wire-wrap I had, and it has a light w/ cool plexiglass cut-out on the side. (Scorpio 868W case)

I still need a new video card though :( 256mb fx5200 cuts it, but not smooth like butter.

I would post a pic of my system. But I'm planning on redoing the system over here in about 7 days if I'm lucky. But going to build up my self a small server computer too.

When I get them both done the way I want them. Then I'll take some photo's and upload them.

I'd take a picture of mine but there isnt much to see. Its a mess because its a shuttle mini pc. I can't even reset the cmos without taking my video card out first.

I have three optical drives, two SATA hard drives in RAID and an IDE drive in a mid-tower case. It is going to take a miracle to clean up my case (and I've sleeved quite a few power supply cables)...sorry, no pics right now.

Wow, pretty much half of this thread has some derivitive of the chieftek case.
That pic is pretty old. The room layout and optical drives have all changed.
Also, the AIW in that pic has been replaced and an NEC USB 2.0 card (ran out of ports) which someone else in this thread has in their system.
Also a nic has been added and an hauppauge card.
Other than that...it's pretty much the same...
Okay, so it's totally different.
But the same case!
This is my beater computer that i just putz around with.
A TOY
edit: oh, and the cables are much cleaner now and that wide grey cable is for the audigy platinum.

It ranks pretty high from what ive seen on the messy scale.

Why do you have a car freshener in your PC?

The heat from the PC gently warms the air freshener and the fans distribute the agreable aroma throughout the room. Smart! :)

That's pretty clever.

consider that idea now stolen as soon as I go to a supermarket

You should see my mother's computer :D

(No kidding, it's a K6-2 350MHz, mainboard AT form factor - not ATX - with lots and lots of cables in it. Too bad I have no pictures :( )
