Thermaltake Case - Untidy!

RickyDVT · 1 Dec 2006 at 12:50

i have a large thermaltake case bought about a year ago, and i put all hardware inside it my self (im a n00b at bulding computers), but ever since i did it the case just seems to collect so much dust its unreal, not only that but it seems to be impossible to hide all the wires, u cant see any of the fancy led lights on the fans through the glass side panel because of the wires all over the place, just wondering if anyone has any tips on how to make a nice tidy case inside for when i install my new upgrade into it.

Cheers.

I told you it was a mess...

there just doesnt seem to be any room to hide that amound of wires, even thought the case is huge!

olololol
told you it was a mess!!!
if i managed to clean it will up and made it neat when i put my new system in, should this case be good for overclocking due to the 8 standard fans that are in it and the sheer size!! lol.

the fans are using a small connector aint they?
its a complicated case(well for me)
i havnt even set up the thermomitors on it to watch the temp of the GFX CPU etc, just too confusing for me, and im no good with fiddly bits, just gets me mad. when i get my new system i think i might try find someone who has done one before and they can do it for me for me give em £5 an hour lol.

lol ye, now i know!!
il lhave a look tonight, but looks like i might need to get a new case if i want something tidy!
It also seems to collect sooooooooo much dust everywehre as well.

Can anyone recommend a good case for overclocking then. nothing to small and im on a very tight budget lol.

thanks ill have a look,
might see if i can sell my thermaltake to someone now! lol.

RickyDVT · 5 Dec 2006 at 23:30

LOL
so is it really that bad?
ok well new years res, get upgrade for xmas and sort my case out! either make that neat or if im struggling buy a new case a guess, just dont want to keep forkin out money i dont have, espec when i got made redundant from work on monday!! :mad:

hope the thermaltake case will do after a bit of time and effort.

i dunno why, lol i just plugged everything in as i thought i needed to! im a n00b at this stuff, yeh its a q-tec that a bad thing? lol
guess i shouldnt be using it for my new conroe system next month.

ok,

so should i be ok to still use this case for overclocking if i remove some of the fans a neaten all the wires up etc?
Or would you recommend buying a new case.

cheers,
i did think mine looked quite good at first with all the blue led lights on it,
once its stripped down ready for new system, if i show you what fans are where, could you tell me which i can remove, as i dont wanna remove the important ones!!

oh Messiah, your a god! just been reading your case project, looks sweet man!

would be fantastic!
