In your link, change the "file" part to "dir", otherwise the link is broken. Just noticed that those are 3ms monitors, didn't know they made ones that fast. It's a nice PC, wanna trade?
Welcome to the forums and great gaming rig you got there. I love clear cases! You need to get that new Western Digital Raptor X hard drive we looked at in this aritcle.
Sweet system! Be sure to post in the New Member Section so we know a bit more about you!
$3259.68! (Before shipping?) WOW! That's a hefty price tag. I do commend you on not cutting any corners though. Nice rig for the spender! (I'm too cheap)
I too, am impressed by the monitors you've used. I'll have to look into them for my personal machines.

Dude, that is a really REALLY awesome system you got there!!!
Nice work!
Wire management in a completely clear case is always tricky. It can still be done, but you just have to be a little more "creative". The best tip I can give you for cleaning up the wires is zip ties. Go to your local hardware store and get some small, black zip ties and just go to town. Since you can't hide the wires behind anything, jus tbind them all together in one large mass as they come out of the PSU, then let one go once it is as far away from it's destination plug as possible. Just keep going down the line until all of the wires go where they need to.
Use only the cables you need and keep everything else in storage.
Yeah, but that doesn't really solve the primary problem. Which is the management of the cables being used.
Personally, I think modular PSU's are a little over rated. Yes, they are nice; but I usually end up using all but one or two of the PSU cables...

Depends on how much stuff you cram into your case then I guess.
Only mainboard, graphics card, 2xSATA and an IDE CD-RW here.

I've a Powerstream 600W and I'm outta cables already

Very true.
But in the case of topsub, it looks as if he's using prettymuch all his cables.
And add onto my earlier post about keeping the cables all together in a large bundle, you can include the other "non-PSU" cables too (like SATA, IDE, audio, front panel I/O, and fan cables).

I'm getting one of the OCZ Powerstream SLI 600W PSU's cause i need more PCIe cables!
Yeah, doesnt the DFI Expert require a 6-pin PCI-Express power connector on the board too?? That's just crazy.
No it requires the 8pin EPS workstation connector.....Not required really, you can get away it, without it....
They removed the molex (hdd) connector.......all you need now is the floppy connector above the PCIe and the EPS connector.....
link didnt work for me, but it is a very nice system indeed. now you need to work on some cable managment and clean the wires up.
