I was able to read the fine print. Being that your a tweaker I have to disagree.

Humidity is what NJ is all about during the summer.

Weazel... Instead of me sending my PC for you to do... got any tips about wire mamangement? That thing looks immaculate. (I think that is spelled wrong) Great job man.

ur wires have to be long enough to be able to get some nice wire management. Then once that is taken care of you need to ahve a ton of zipt ties to work with. Sit down for about an hour and zip tie the wires to places where they will not be seen but allow them to be able to reach the destination... as you work im sure you will find some nifty places to store them, i use the space above my psu for some of them and some space behind the fan controller for some more, i actually took some out of hiding though to show off my sleeving :)

I have some wires, (including the AUX from the PSU) taped behind my MoBo tray,
if you're case has a removeable right side panel...this helps a lot

Zip ties, automotive loom, or electrical tape are good ways to help improve airflow and cleanliness in your case.

They also come in UV reactive, you could also try forgot whats it called the wire holders that you tape around in the case and you can clip wires in while going around.

If your going auto loom, try to stay away from the plastic stuff that is cut down the side. Rather, go for the nylon-like stuff. Its very flexible and has a criss-cross design. I hope you know what I'm talking about.

Yes i know what your talking about JW... that would be a better choice.

yes that stuff works great. But I have found that the spiral cut wire wrap to work the best for tiddying up a powersupply.

These others have given very good advice. As it is exactly what I have done in the computer. It just take some time and some patience. My best advice is to take your time and dont be afraid to cut the zip ties and try it different ways.

I need to take some pics of my beast as it is a work in progress. But that should be able to show some more wire management techniques.
