    Which actually uses less or about the same power =p

    I've tidied the cables at the bottom, but still have to work out how the hell I'll sort out the bird's nest in the top right.

    Red SATA connectors? Haven't seen those in a while xD

    I'm guessing that's the Arc Midi?

    *edit* looks at signature, herpderp

    My motherboard came with about 4 right-angled black SATA cables and two straight black cables. I don't have a window (yet) and the way my desk is my computer would have the window facing away from me anyway, so it isn't really a high-priority issue for me.

    AMD Phenom X6 1090T OC @ 3.8GHz
    Gigabyte GA-990FXA-D3 motherboard
    16gb 1333mhz ram
    Corsair Force series 3 60gb SSD

    HD6950(flashed 6970 bios) and HD6970 in crossfire
    2x 24" Benq monitors

    Was best picture I could take.
    The two drive bay clamps were a cheap plastic that broke as soon as they were twisted to lock in place so currently not using them, they just sit there for now.
    Anyone know some good quality red clamps? (I prefer the screws then the twist/lock method)
    I tried shoving the wiring behind the drive bay, but it was going to warp the back side panel no matter how much I spaced them out, so I just bunched them up with some ties and placed the bundle in the bottom on the case.
    At the time when I was installing the graphics card I didn't realize how low I had set it and would have bumped it up a slot or two, but the small shields that you take out on the back are punch outs and I haven't found a way to put them back in, so instead of punching out another shield I just left it on the lower slot and took a look at the temperatures to make sure if the gpu was becoming too hot under load. (Reaches 70c so not worth making the case ugly.)

    I wish I could lean back. My legs are too long and the only way for me to sit back would be to to have a 4 foot deep desk that is almost four feet tall.

    I can only lean forward.

    Get a kneeling chair (the ones popularized in the 80s.) It basically promotes the same inclination and neutral spinal position but keeps your torso upright.

    DAMN Daveric! I love how your rig looks, and the cabling and braiding, wow! That blue just looks awesome! I invite you to post in the CPU/GPU OC leaderboards if you plan to overclock your CPU and/or GPU! That is definitely a killer system and looks the part, too!
