nice pc but dont you think those 2 viper fans would be better placed on the radiator?
 
Just upgraded the motherboard, CPU and RAM so took a quick screenshot.

Was wondering how so many people on here get their case wires spotless, I tried for 30 minutes and this was the best I could do to hide them. Case is a K62 Lancool, any suggestions as to how I could tidy it up?

mATX and a light coloured case don't help hide cables, you've done a decent job. The only thing you could reasonable do is tie back the fan cable rather than route it through the wc'ing grommits and rotate that fan 90* anti-clockwise, then straighten up your sata cables as best you can.

Also, as long as you're not sitting your case on carpet, you could flip that psu the other way up, there are some intake vents just there.

Neat fitting covers are the best way I know of, look up styrofoam. :)

It doesn't require a workshop, just a desk, a scalpel, ruler & sand paper if you want nice bevels etc & a good glue & if you want to push it to awesome heights then body filler, more sanding & paint it. :cool:

Even just painting the insides can make it appear neater, also cable extensions are a quick no fuss way of making things look nicer. :D

But as Joshua said above those are good tips also. :)

Thanks for the suggestions guys, this is a really good case to work with as its completely tool less, but might invest in one with a black innards and better cable management. The aim is to make it so that I can have a side panel with a window on it and not be embarrassed :D
 
Just finished transferring stuff into my new Corsair 650D after my dad surprised me with it as a delayed moving in gift.:D
I am IN LOVE with this case, everything was no-fuss and it's miles ahead of my Lian Li B10.
All I need to do now is to replace the back fan and the 2 fans on the H100 as they seem very loud to me.

Specs:

- i5 2500k @stock (going to fiddle with oc'ing next weekend).
- Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4
- 8GB Corsair vengeance DDR3 1600MHz
- 256GB Corsair M4 SSD
- 1TB Seagate HD
- MSI Twin Frozr 580GTX
- Asus Essence STX soundcard
- Corsair AX750 PSU
- Corsair H100

Keep looking at a new case and I'm going round in circles. Think my favourite is still the 650D. Yours looks great. Red and black really goes too. Just got concerned as I like quiet cases, and some people have said the 650D can be noisy. The front fan is too close to the filters? Or something like. Id go for something like the Antec P280. But am restricted on desk space to a case width of 9"
 
I don't find the case particularly noisy with my setup, then again, I replaced all stock fans immediately when I got it. I can hear the fans when I turn the PC on but once I play games/music/watch a film you won't notice it at all. It's definetaly noisier than my old B10 but that case was built for silence. If you, like me, love to constantly tinker with the PC then the 650D is a great choice as it is very user friendly.
 
HAHA! they start on MM's site at $184 :p
the case is pretty hard work tbh, and the drive bays were a nightmare, but every case i've had before is literally off the shelf standard, so this one makes a nice change.

Should be starting a little waterloop for it next week at some point, and i can't fit the top on because the heatpipes on my Silver Arrow are 3mm too tall haha
