Project: Tidy

buzzlightweight · 9 Aug 2011 at 22:46

ok the following pics are of my very first build.

Q9400 2.66GHz @ 3.6GHz
Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator
Asus p5q deluxe
6GB ram
ATI Sapphire 5870 1GB
corsair 650w psu
intel 40gb ssd
WD 2TB HDD
LG BD drive
sony DVD drive
7.1 surround sound card
antec 1200 case

although my pc scores 7.0 out of 7.9 in WIE

i wanted to update my rig to make it a little more future proof and also my cable management is horrible!!!!! i want my new rig to look amazing, clean and tidy!

here is an inside view :/

sorry for the bad pics im using my iphone 4

I will be using some components from my previous rig, BD and DVD drive and the GPU but here is the full list of what i have bought.

I know there is a lot of corsair in that list but i like their products!

I have also bought all the cable bradding equipment i need from an auction place but i have not decided whether i will red and black the brade or just black either way i have bought enough for both lolz

I know this build isnt a mad water cooled rig but i thought you may be interested im my cable management and bradding Techniques.

i need to wait a few days for all the components to arrive but i will post more pics soon

I didnt even finish reading, I just saw this. I have an iPhone 4 too. Game oN!

After reading post: Should be a good build, don't have a snakes nest in this up coming build

Also why did you go for the 800D when it isn't very good as an air cooling case when there is the 650D more suited to air cooling.

I have the H100 but once the 7000 series GPU come out from AMD I will buy either two or possibly one card and do a full water cooling loop.

I will stick a triple on top and hide the pump and res near the psu at the bottom

It's no problem, no harm no foul

just a small update, i received my cooling package today, and braded the power, temp and fan cables.

the brade i bought is not great so im looking for thicker grade brade now for the rest of the build

this is the first time i have tried brading cables and im happy with my first results

Click on his name and its in the dropdown

@Heatshrink part, it may be cheap but the cost is not what matters its the presentation

Should bought a Rasa kit instead they are £130 and are much better than the H100.

Corsair are made of win and as Evoss has already said if you are going for an air cooled build then I would recommend you look at the 600T/650D cases as they are far better suited to air than the 700/800 series which are really aimed at high end water rigs. Am really chuffed with my 600T so I am not biased in any way

Good luck and well done on the braiding, its not easy the first time! I speak from (bad) experience!

very true dude, braiding is a skill that you will accuire through experiance! iv done a few now and am getting a hang of it, iv ordered some thicker grade braid so i hope to make it look a little better

as for the case i have had my eyes on this for a long time and you must know how it feels when you pick a case you love and you think of all the ways you want to mod it!

for now i will settle for the h100, as i have said the water cooling loop will be added after i have progressed a little in my vision

have faith
