I've just built my first system over this last month:
ASUS CUBX/PIII700/256MB Micron PC133/30GB 7200HD/ASUS V6800 Dlx/Platium Live/DVD & Burner/Enlight 7237 Case/Linksys Etherfast NIC (for DSL)/Running W2K
Here is my question. I installed all of my hardware with updated drivers, everything seems to be smoking along, I think I may actually be finished, finally. However, I have a MESS inside this thing of cables, especially the drive ribbons. It all hangs between my drives and my board. Is this the way it is supposed to be? I tried to routed everything the best I could but it is still really tangled. My biggest concern is that much of it is hanging in front of my lower front intake fan. Will this restrict airflow and make my case to warm? I'd like to try overclocking this puppy. Thanks alot for any suggestions or answers.
