Hi

First build of a pc. Be gentle my first time

Case NZXT Apollo.
Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-
AMD Athlon II X4 Quad Core 620 2.60GHz
4GB DDR2
ATI 5670
Corsair 550 Watt.
Zalman fan controller.

Building it was pretty easy had a problem with first psu being doa which was a OCZ Stealth so switched to corsair. Cable mangement done my best but the case doesnt many cable management features and as such was difficult all the cables. Here are some pics

Thanks for looking any comments appreciated

Looks tidy, very tidy for a first build :)

I'd do a few things though:

1) Braid the cables going to the side panel fan and rear fan
2) Get rid of the USB PCI plate
3) Braid the front panel and I/O connector wires
4) Mount the HDD backwards to hide the sata and power cables
5) Remove (or center) the AMD sticker on the CPU fan (that would drive me nuts)

And finally

6) Clean off your grubby mitt prints, that front panel is rank :D
 
Hi

Thanks for the input will look into braiding those cables. The usb plate is for the zalman power so I need it but will look into rerouting it. The grubby mitts have been wiped and thanks just fixed that bloody sticker didnt notice it :D
 
To be honest when he had it down here. It was silent as the amd cool and quite or whatever was on. Even with it off with the zalman it was barely audible.
