no poking fun at the fact I'm running on-board video either, waiting on the replacement fan for the card.

Liquid cooling still requires fans to cool the non-liquid cooled components.........;) That is unless you like replacing components that fail due to overheating.................

You ain't seen a mess o' cables until you've peered into the innards of my computer... The Antec P150 looks cool, but it is pretty tight for space once you start installing components

Every time I change something I tell myself that I am going to organize the cables better, but obviously I never do. Damn case is so small.

honestly imo the motherboard really dictates how neat and organized you can have your cabling that and second is your power supply. thats why if I buy another I think I'll go modular so I can just not have so many peripheral cables not being used taking up space in my case.
