What do you mean? It costs nothing to post in a thread.

Ah... NVM! xD

final update on original post.

Nice! Is this your first time building a computer?
Good job on the cable management :3

Nice job on the cables indeed. I tried my best with the Antec 900 but it's just too damn hard managing all the wires. I ordered some Y-connectors for the fans but now I'm thinking of getting extensions as well. Also, my Coolmaster Heatsink is so Farking huge the window fan won't even fit the slot so I have to either use stock cooler or upgrade to liquid cooling.

This was before I did any cable management and just wanted to test the hardware. It looks much better now but I was unable to stow away the ATX bundle wire.

Spoiler!

I hope those lights can be turned off. I'd kill myself at night.

I'd turn off the PC at night. And I can fall asleep with every light in my room turned on anyways so it wouldn't matter.

They can be turned off via switch in the back. They're not as bright as they seem to be on camera. It's a UV Cold Cathode light.

more accurate look

Why cathode instead of LED?

Don't want it to be too bright. Also, the yellow eSATA parts/wires look awesome with the Purple/Yellow/Black combination.

Yup and if you noticed no zip ties were harmed in the making of this build =).



Inky system looks pretty cool lit up and tbh regarding the cable managment I got slightly lucky with my case, feature wise is fully loaded. So my feed everything behind strategy didnt encounter much problem, took me less than 1 hour to actually put everything in and do the cable management you see. On a slightly random note my intention was to achieve excellent airflow within the case which I wonder if I did too well couse it feels like there's a fan on my feet now =p.

Also regarding cooler idk what to say, I usually feel strongly against them but its a bit too late at this point for you. Perhaps modifications are in order to it or fan but that could potentially hurt performance. Honestly my cpu has awesome temps ( last time i saw them idle was 28c or something ) and it just chews through everything easily.

My temp is pretty stable with the current cooler. The optional window fan is just for aesthetics since it's another purple LED one. I'll wait until next month before I purchase the liquid cooler just so I don't feel broke spending all that money in 1 shot. I'll probably keep the heatsink as a spare or give it to my cousin if he ever decides to build a PC.

I don't see why you would spend so much money on something that wont do a thing for you but heh, to each his own =)

It's pretty. But also, if I upgrade to the liquid cooler, it'll be more efficient than my current heatsink -- especially since Haswell can heat up faster than either Ivy or Sandy bridge. The window fan will be placed to blow air inwards straight to the GPU. But mainly because I'm a sucker for nice things. The LED fans were given to me by a friend. I still have the blue LED fans as extra/back up.

My girlfriend has my ASUS G75 laptop now but later on she might be tempted to build her own PC. Yep, I'm a lucky, lucky man.
