Now I'm gonna brag about this

[Lean L]

Just recently got the parts for this computer that I will use as a spare. I had a small Ultra wizard left over so I decided to use that case. It's pretty small but I spent a good amount of time on the wiring. This is the neatest wiring I've seen to date in a custom computer.

neater than mine, but still...not that neat...

Get yourself a DVI to HDM converter or an HDMI capable video card and start making yourself a media center

Maybe I'm just used to low wiring standards. Most computers I've seen have wires in from of the heatsink. Sometimes the wires will even hit the fan. I can shake this case without hearing anything which is good enough for me lol.

LOL that's not even close to "neat". Mine is much, much nicer and I consider mine to be messy.

Wow, good job. :thumbsup: You even were smart enough to keep the extra PS wires away from the grill openings in the PS. Too many people wrap the extra wires up and jam it in front of the PS, effectively choking it. Looks good to me.

He has a lot of stuff in that small case; I think he did a good job.

Looks to me like a modular PSU, there are no extra wires.

My cables are an utter Clusterfuck... BUT, my computer runs with no wires in the fans, that only happens sometimes...

well mine is even neater than yours. I dont even need pics. Take that biotch.

 

[Miramonti]

Wtf, you didn't even do anything to the ide/floppy ribbons.

Clean is good tho and you did it the way it should be done.

My PC is at my brother's place so I can't take pics right now. I'll come back with some, but I plan on cabling it properly after Christmas because I'm pretty sure I'm getting a CPU cooler from Santa

So you blew the picture up to full size, eh? *mumble* Mmm.rphhhh...why didn't I do that too...

Well....well....if there WERE some extra wires he'd still have done a great job. Yeah. It still looks good to me. Not easy to keep a small case neat inside.

Lol, didn't want to spend any money on that since I didn't have any available.

 

[Krazy4Real]

Sorry... not very neat. Nothing to brag about.

Cut them with a razor in 5 conductor sections then pull them apart.
Wrap these bundles together with cable spiral wrap.
It makes the ribbon into a flexible cylindrical shape for better airflow.

Like this, but more neatly done: http://www.instructables.com/id/Round-IDE-Cables/

 

[randay]

honestly, you havent seen anything yet... thats how a computer should come when the builder doesnt really give a crap about how it looks.

haha - this is the most off-topic post in the thread


i really need to get a modular power supply. cuts down on so much of the unnecessary clutter. currently i stuff most of mine through a hole in the mobo tray - between the mobo tray and the right side panel.

Mine is hella messy(No places to store cables in Antec 300 that well.. There is one little space but it's too small for all the wires I have)... But I agree.. that's not even close to neat. :sneaky:

 

[Leros]

You did a decent job, but nothing to brag about. If no wires are visible, then I'd say you did a really good job.

 

[Arcadio]

IDE cables... ewww.

There's a lot of shit in there. I'm using 6 expansion slots, and there are four drives. If I took everything out it'd look neater.

This is before the mobo/video/processor swap I did this spring but it's pretty much the same either way. Not the cleanest but it works.
