Thermaltake Case - Untidy!

I just noticed... is that a Q-tec PSU?!

Keep the case, remove most of the fans as they probably aren't needed but buy a new PSU if that is a Q-tec.

Why do you have so many molex's? Is it because the PSU has only a few molex's and you're using splitters to get the required amount?

Mines bit of a mess, but all molexs are pushed to the very bottom of the case, under the drive modules.

Just noticed Q-tec PSU as well.

It's really not recommended, no.

The only time it might supply it's rated power is in heat when it explodes. :|

Its because the Thermaltake fans use molex passthrough cables to connect the Hardcano fancontroller. That case also has a silly amount of case fans. Remember kids, the more the merrier is not true when it comes to fans. I think 2-3 120mm fans is sufficient for any system. If the case needs more than that, then its a badly designed case.

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.

You should be ok once its neat. But ultimately you should be looking for another case, even if just to make it look better.

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!!
