Built this one a couple months ago. The best cable management I've never done :) My last case was horrible. When I showed Dan, he said it could be better, of course. I'm pretty dang proud of myself though :P

I couldn't stand to have some of your cases. I don't even have my HDD activity and Power LEDs hooked up and I used electrical tape to cover up the glowing X-Fi logo on my sound card.

To each their own. If we all liked the same thing the world would be a pretty damn boring place.

My 900 came with the blue LED fans in the front, which was made worse when I added the 3rd drive cage/LED fan. The case is currently in the tear down stage of a rebuild with cable management holes, paint, and new non-LED fans. I have yet to decide if I'll go with LED strips inside the case for showing off at LAN parties and such, but for everyday use in the room I sleep in... the blue LEDs have got to go.

I unplugged my HDD LED on the P-180B only a month or two after my original build. I refuse to put my case on the ground, and the glaring/flashing light out of the corner of my eye was enough to make me want to scream!

Thanks bro. I just realized that pic's old too as I'm now running the twin GPU's a RAID 0 setup.

On the LED thing, if it were in my bedroom yeah, it'd drive me nuts. But it's in my office in another room in the house so it's not a big deal. The CCT's used to have a switch on them but I cut it out to clean up the wiring.

Skip,
I know that I've seen that rig somewhere before, I just can't seem to remember where............... :mrgreen:

Looks like you're getting the wiring under control as well.

Good job.

Bio,

I'm gonna have to pay you another visit either this summer or fall when I build my i7 rig into that Corsair case. I'll wanna pick your brain for OC'ing it since you seem to have more i7 exp than anyone else here except Nate.

and I'll wanna pick your brain after you're done with his :) I like the profile setting my mobo has for the OC'ing but it takes my ram speed down to compensate i guess... so I want to OC without downclocking the ram as much as possible and im next to dumb on doing that with an i7..i like doing 3.2ghz but i don't like how my ram went from 1600 to 1100 doing that lol..i feel like a pre-schooler now since I not know how to OC this thing right

In most Aus bios all you have to do to adjust the memory speed is go to the Ai Tweaker section and then down to DRAM Frequency. hit return and the options should come up.

yeah like BIO said in the post above it's just a couple things that you can alter to change the memory clock frequency, so it's quick and easy.
