Here's the new board. MUCH better, although I had to sacrifice my Xonar DX card since there was no room for it. (Trying to place it in the 2nd PCI-E 16x slot butted it right up against my 4870)

Here's how much clearance I had with the Scythe Shuriken cooler lol

Installed:

How else do you clean off the old thermal paste gunk? Q tips rock for that!

Phil · January 11th, 2009

Nice Skore!

We need more to join the water cooling revolution!

Yes, yes we do...

It's costly and time consuming, but in the end, it was worthwhile. My temps are awesome, PC doesn't sound like a raging inferno and now I can officially say I know how to watercool

Very nice system spyhop I see you have some tissue paper strategically placed justoff to the right, to combat any protein emissions that happen during computing.

I'll gladly do the management if you're anywhere near Winnipeg

Just use a lot of zip ties, they're awesome for cable management. I'm actually going to do some more in my system tonight. I don't feel like it's right yet

DarkSamus · January 12th, 2009

I know mine is a mess! Cable tying has always been my weakness!

The way a tower is oriented plays a big role in cable management too. Most mid sized ATX cases don't have anything to help with cable management, and even to me, they're a nightmare. I could spend a lot of time customizing and changing wire lengths, but I don't want to spend hours wire stripping and then reattaching them

The first thing I look at when I buy a tower is how oriented it is for cable managing. Then I go with noise reduction, airflow then looks.

I've done better jobs on past systems, but honestly its a pain in the ass to re-route something when there is a zip tie every 3cm along the way.

No system is complete without fapkins!
Seriously though, my nose is often clogged. I always have kleenex around. Plus it gets used for quick clean-ups for, as gamefreak mentioned, I prefer to keep my desk tidy.

Also, fapkins.
