Hi guys, I thought it might be cool if we were to start a thread showing off the insides of your 650D's. I'll start off with mine! :cool:





Sorry that the quality isn't so great! My camera isn't very good as close up's, nor was the lighting very good!

I plan on adding two sp120's to replace the H80i fans, and an additional ap120 to create push pull with the front fan.
My GPU is a GTX 690, and im rocking the FX 8320!

I hope you guys share!

Let me know if there is already a thread like this by the way!

nice, i'd like to w/c in the distant future! Cool to see that it is entirely possibly to do it in the 650d with space to spare!

I'm going to cut the fan grills and edge them (look in the other 650d threads and you will see plenty about the annoying whine). Hopefully I'll also replace the power/HDD LEDs with red ones (red theme). The whole thing needs re-cabling as well.

I must say I am quite interested in these PSU stickers, mine has annoying gold accents which stand out a mile. The modular connectors are also gold though, so might be an issue.

Edit - has anyone used the sound dampening kit from the store? It looks like cable clearance at the back will be severely restricted?

cool, the psu stickers seem like a cool idea! i can't comment on the last thing that you said about, bt sounds cool. in mine i moved the hdd cage to the left and put in a CM megaflow.

I've removed the front 200mm grill and its much better, its a less irritating sound now. Need to do the rear but would want to strip the components out to make sure no metal filings got onto anything

I put my disk drives up into the 5.25" bays to get them out the way with a front fan pulling in air over them

thats an idea, does the case come with something that allows you to do that? Also, how did you get the little thing below the hdd cage which i su to hide cables? whats your cable management like at the back?

Do you mean putting the hard drives in the 5.25" bays with a fan?

No i use adapters for the drives and fitted scythe KAMA bay to give me a fan, doesn't match the grill on the bottom but its functional

I meant whether you needed an adapter to get hdds in the 5.25 bay. Fn wise I wouldn't have thought that the drives really needed the extra cooling. I have a caviar black, caviar blue and an ssd, do you think it would need it?

Another thing I need to get around to doing, is removing those cables. In the other thread, they say this is possible. I already have a Nesteq so haven't used the built in controller and I agree they are a pain.

I need to get a fan controller at some point. How exactly do you set them up? Getting rid of those attached cables would be lovely!!
 
looks fab, that style is what im going to be going for in the future. Are you using after market 3.5" adapters for your 5.25" bays?

also how did you get your ssd standing up like that!?
