After going through several bad DVD drives, I finally returned them all and got myself a pretty cool NEC 8x DVD burner for ~100 bucks.
Also finished my cabling job. The hardware portion of my system is DONE!
System has been quiet while loading software. Havent been able to check temps yet.

Wow that is a clean wiring job. I did mine last year but I just had to replace the mobo and rip apart all my nice clean wiring job, now I'm too lazy to redo it so its all messy again.

Dont get all upset, its average to me. Something most people could do if they put 10 mins into it. The bare wires stand out badly.

:D
Its great that its just "average" to you, I can understand how that would pique the interest of anyone who read your post to want to see a truley amazing cabling job.

Better job than mine. I hope you got a nice windowed, side panel to show that work off. :)

I think you did a very nice job. :) That's a SCSI cable, correct? Looks cool all neatly bent and routed behind the drive cage.

Nice PC65B as well. :D

I like it ALOT. But I'm too lazy to actually take out my motherboard and route the cables underneath. Also when I move my motherboard, I HAVE to clean off the old thermal grease and apply it totally fresh again, because I'm paranoid.

you need to cut out that restrictive fan grill, but otherwise its pretty clean. cable origami is always good.
