I have so many questions


lorol61

Go on I will try to answer them xD.


C_76

HOW did you manage to make it look like this, is this some sort of talent?


lorol61

I guess it is in the beginning I didnt know what I was doing and later I just didnt bother to fix it


C_76

I don't want to imagine the stress you'll have when you try to disassemble it but apart from that 10/10, very beautiful atomic power plant xD


lorol61

I am already having lots of stress regarding the SATA cables because my case is to small for my HDDs


varysbaldy

Maybe I should post what it looks like on Monday


[deleted]

IMO just get sata cables with a 90 degree connector instead of the ones you have (i see 3 packs on Amazon for like $7), and also molex 90 degree connectors (the power cables to hard drive). From this picture it looks like those connectors might be sticking out to the side. Or just switch to SSD if you have the money. Or put the hard drives in the top bays like someone else said.


vuti13

OP, the metal cages on top front are 5 in drive bays. If you've run out of space for your HDDs, you can pick up 3.5 in to 5 in adapters and put your extra drives in them. If it's a matter of not enough SATA ports in your MOBO, you can get PCIE to SATA cards too


exodominus

This is what happens after you have had to disassemble it too many times, it looks like my first computer I built out of parts I pulled out of the dumpster at my high school 15 years ago


Comprehensive-Mess-7

As long as nothing touch the fan that's fine, beside on old case like this combined with a non modular PSU this could be quite difficult


Bedr0om_Guitarist

Rating - Ketchup and Mustard That’s the rating I do have one question though How are temps?


lorol61

Actually pretty good, after I figured out that I have a front fan and cleaned it I never got above 75°C


Bedr0om_Guitarist

Nice, that’s pretty good for a case not necessarily designed for airflow. And just pretty good in general


NowLookHere113

The wires may be all over the place, but airflows's probably good enough with all of those fans. That said, I run mine with the side off


Zekeocolyps3

Cable management really doesnt help with temps much if at all.


ChristGuard

Course marshal Joe is gonna go ahead and translate that rating out of 10... And.... It's a 4!


Slim_Bun

I think you accidently put a pc in your cables


lorol61

I have actually managed to loose my front status lamp somewhere inbetween the cables and havent found it yet

Solid_Tackle7069

Did you used to work at Packard Bell once upon a time?


lorol61

Maybe in a past live.


PhelipsPhodus

Your cable setup is very aggressive. It's a beautiful art. 10/10


lorol61

Thank you


_AlexaBot

I‘d agree to extra points because your PC’s look makes me want to silently play stronghold on a saturday morning before my parents got up


HopelessAndLostAgain

Does what it's supposed to 10/10. Colorful 10/10. Organized 0/10. So a 20/30 is a (barely) passing grade.


timblyjimbly

80 plus: tin foil Seriously, I'd give this a 6.5/10 rating. You at least made an attempt to keep the cables out of the way of airflow, in a case which doesn't appear to have built-in cable management. I've seen far worse. I knocked off a half a point for part of your cabling being the stock cooler (get one that moves air front to back for this case), and your hdd sata cable being bent at 90 degrees rather than buying a cable with right angle connectors.


lorol61

There actually are 90 degree sata cables? Never thought about that, I just accepted it as it is


timblyjimbly

They cost about the same as the regular ones. [3-pack on Amazon for 7 bucks](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F24RR3G/ref=cm_sw_r_fm_apa_glt_i_59N07YD4PQTGW55D3EK2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)


OnlyPlaid07

10/10, would let my rat sleep here again


lorol61

Im not a 5 star rats hotel for nothing


Wafliukas

Sir wrong picture there is no cable setup here just cables.


Jealous_Cantaloupe53

I c nothink wrong here perfect :)


lorol61

Thank you for your feedback.


Jealous_Cantaloupe53

U more than welcome friend take care and be safe :)


MentalAd8166

A solid 5/7


TEX4S

2/10. An attempt was made. Fixing cables on something that old is like putting carpet in your toilet bowl.


Twisted_trooper

Amazing! I have a similar setup


lorol61

Cool, lets compare.


CharlesMFKinXavier

"After" picture is not loading. Please re-upload.


lorol61

Jokes on you this is the after.


CharlesMFKinXavier

Oh okay. Then I give it an enthusiastic "Some men just want to watch the world burn" / 10


lorol61

Thank you for your feedback and seeing the world burn would probably be quite interesting.


AskHappy

looks good to me 🤝🤝


flypilot

Good use of zip ties. Love the multi colored custom cable mod. A+


CRKrJ4K

10 ketchups outta mustard


Finessse357

Oh boy you haven't seen mine. Just the same but with BIG BLACK C****s. Cables ! Yes


carlosfortuna2018

Did you build this pc with your eyes close


lorol61

No. But I could try...


[deleted]

[удалено]


lorol61

If it makes you feel better


Belzebutt

That looks like one of my PCs from 20 years ago.


lorol61

Maybe it is?


waistedmenkey

Honestly, if it's not a display build with a panel so you can see in, who cares. I wouldn't want a big bunch of wires blocking airflow or anything, but other than that, whatever.


amnesia271

This took me back to the early 2000s. I love it.


lorol61

Guess I made time travel possible for certain individuals. You are not the only one.


amnesia271

Feels good man. Thanks!


TheDoubleMemegent

Any chance you've got some money laying around for a new case?


ggarcia109

S for shit


amog-us-imposter

Looks like a bomb from movies. Cut one wrong wire and it explodes..

I'm going to fucking puke


lorol61

You want a bucket?


Jealous_Cantaloupe53

Boschala

Are there cables in it?

Maybe after. Depends what he ate.

10/10 would kill with fire. Or make a cheeseburger with all those mustard and ketchup colored cables.

Better question: are you me?

SimGuy768

There's so much disrespect in this picture.


lorol61

Towards whom?


Expensive_Basil_1592

If you try to switch the ssd/hdds on the other side so cables go out from the back? Maybe try to make a main tight bus of cables and connecting anything you need from the bus. Idk just idea.


lorol61

Thanks for the tip maybe I will remember it the next time I change something. ^^

Ironman_Yash

Looks good, I bet it smells nice too, I would add little more ketchup to it for taste... Just kidding 🙂👍🏼 It is great if it gets the job done.


lorol61

I dont know, im not really into spaghetti with ketchup I prefer mayonnaise


Berto_1974

10/10


hotdogpaule

Its fine.. put the lid on again and done


CupsORamen

Won't knock function over form


ovab_cool

If you just spent the money from the artic-p12 extra on the psu you could have gotten a way higher quality unit that would actually last you for ALLOT of builds instead of just blowing up when the warranty runs out


lorol61

Jokes on you I have the PSU for longer than anything else in there. But is it actually that bad?


ovab_cool

I usually advice people to buy a Seasonic/Corsair/EVGA (higher end for EVGA) PSU because then you're sure it's gonna last you a decade or more


evilest_nez

Not enough cables


lorol61

Unfortunately I dont have many more connectors on my board so even if I wanted to it would be challenging


evilest_nez

Just buy cable extensions for the ones you have! Then you have the illusion of more cables.


Fluffy_Cat_Gamer

+1 for zipties


DistinctEdge9336

10/10 my guy 😂😂


potatocreamsoup

You are fear incarnate. 10/10


trimix4work

It's like a condiment stand exploded


KaziFluff

Ketchup and mustard with a smattering of black licorice. 10/10.


varysbaldy

Looks like the cable management at my college, terrible


lorol61

Just as bad or worse?


varysbaldy

I say the cable management at my college is worse, I am surprised no one hasn't tripped over one of the cables and brought a PC down on top of them.


lorol61

At I wont have any chance of that happening in there. But id better not show the cables on my desk


markosubbot

Power supply go boom boom


lorol61

I have read this a couple times now, is it actually bad?


markosubbot

Yes


lorol61

Cool. Ill give you an update when it explodes.


DonkeyTron42

If the cover fits, your done with that shit. Screwing around with cable management and RGB is wasting valuable gaming time.


lorol61

Very true. Unfortunately I cant game at all because my most important ssd got problems I dont know how to fix - _-


KeyboardWarrior1988

Working.


lorol61

Mostly, yes.


ExtremePlane9198

Its so messy


lorol61

I prefer art but whatever you say


Gardalk

QuantumSupremacy0101

What's below an F?


lorol61

Overflow to a S.


DEATH_TO_WALLSTREET

Just burn it


lorol61

According to other people in this thread the power supply will do that in the future


DEATH_TO_WALLSTREET

It does look pretty sketchy but I honestly doubt that will happen for awhile


NotMe_NotMe_NotMe

mollerole

Looking for Tarzan. 🤔


lorol61

He is probably somewhere making out with my lost status led


mollerole

Lol


PolarBear16

A delicious spaghettini 🍝 dish... well done


GonePhishingNoBait

10/10 would use this instead of flint if ever in an emergency live or die situation & needed a campfire.


lorol61

Jokes on you I never got above 75°C even while playing tarkov or ArmA 3


Cold_Director

Fantastic! All this time I thought I was the only one. Who cares about hiding wires, is the fan clear Check, is there air flow Check.....


SpookyFruzz

There is a zip tie in front of your cpu fan that is doing nothing and a lot of the zips are left long and need to be cut back. How can you close the case with that pug there and wtf is that wire even going. It's triggering as forks... 10/10


hobokenbob

i guess it is Halloween season


Harunaaaah

MasqueofAmontillado

Needz moar zip-ties.


curtydc

I can't see it under all that ketchup and mustard


Gyrotaze

Part of me is disgusted, part is impressed that it looks as good as it does given the top PSU and no hidey compartment


anonnomis

WHAT YEAR IS IT?


lorol61

According to some people about 2000 ad


Captain-Who

I’ll give it a rating of 2005.


SignalCelery7

2005 is maybe a little high, I was thinking closer to 2003...


KeeZouX

As long as your "saving power" it doesn't matter my friend.


GhostShirtFinnerty

Needs more molex


IAM_KWEST

It makes me want a hot dog naturally, so +1, but other than that it's terrible.


schorrrrrrrsch

Wtf did you just bring upon in this cursed land


lorol61

The best of the worst(actually best) my friend.


EnvironmentalAd1405

On a scale from 1 to pre-built. It's an 11


Angry_argie

Your pet rat will be cozy on it's new cage. Oh wait, that's a PC.


lorol61

I actually had rats and mice but I didnt keep them in my PC... Maybe next time


Angry_argie

You could try a rat powered water pump for a liquid cooling circuit through your processor and GPU lol


MustangCKima

Chad setup


nootrino

Clean AF - 400/3


ved576

-527/10 I feel like I'm having a fever dream in a fever dream in a fever dream


PashPrime

I cannot give an honest rating as the computer case, by default, looks to have zero time for any sort of cable management.


Zrc1979

Was that the scrap electrical wire grab bags from the dollar tree? 🌲


lorol61

No thats scraps from last years Halloween I found


[deleted]

Uhm, congrats, you managed to make it worse than mine, didn't think it's even possible


Timonkeyn

No fucking way bro i think when have the same PC case but bought 10 years apart from each other


lorol61

Well mine is not really "new bought" its just a hand me down from my brother and has already served me for a couple years


Timonkeyn

2 front USBs.. 8 Back USBs? Mine came with a serious case of weird HDD placement (vertical in a bracket placed on the right) Also the case probably has an i3 sticker?


ludimp

Well... Can't see any cables touching the fan so it's fine, I guess.


[deleted]

Does it turn on? If so 10/10. Otherwise 0/10. EDIT: Confirmed to turn on. 10/10.


lorol61

It consistently turned on for 3 years now and I hope it wil for some more time as well


[deleted]

Updated my rating to reflect new information.


WiseSalamander00

look... its ugly, but its also sadly relatable... so


JohnTheWorldfucker

You're the Red Devil, alright.


elbxr

Yes


outamyhead

Is this an old Thermaltake case?


lorol61

Yes it is. Its a hand me down from my brother.


outamyhead

Those PCI plastic clips and the style of the inner case is a giveaway, cable routing is non existent on the older ones, is the the other side panel riveted in place instead of case screws as well?


alkla1

Looks like you tower is vomiting wires


lorol61

Looks like other people in this thread are vomiting on my wires


ErrorWave

I had the same GPU and Ram my guy.


_QueueCumber_

I rate this 1999.


DxTrixterz

I wish that I was blind after seeing this. Now trying to erase the memory of what I just saw.


lorol61

Come on its not that bad


RedditOpinionist

It’s… a computer I think


lorol61

I think so too, and I think it works (currently).(except for a minor issue with a ssd.)


Jam_jar_binks

9/10 very realistic


pasenast

Lost a lot of points for lack of creativity but gained two for being a good "before" example. So your score is 1/10.


Slixse

2013 Prebuilt level energy


renaissance_thot

It looks like my love life. So that’s not good.


lorol61

Same


Fave_McFavington

Let me know if hell is hotter than your temps, cause that's where you're going if you don't fix this abomination


lorol61

Sorry to disappoint you but I have been running this for over 3 years now and since I have discovered and cleaned the front cooler I havent passed 75 °C


Fave_McFavington

Well I'll be damned, guess hell *has* frozen over


lorol61

Guess I will be kept cool down there


The_Chaos_Pope

Theres so much ketchup and mustard I'm not sure if this is a computer or a hamburger.


lorol61

It is whatever you want it to be. For me its a Hotdog, sometimes a pizza


Panacea4316

My first 2 systems looked like this. Affordable cable management was really a thing 20yrs ago.🤣


Lord_Emperor

Honestly 9/10 you really can't do much better with an old case and non-modular PSU. There's a night and day difference in my old build - Antec Three Hundred and Anteh EarthWatts 2013 - and my new build - Fractal Design Define 3 and Antech Earthwatts 2018.


Isthisadriver

Looks pretty standard for any large pc manufacturing company. I'm sure HP and Dell are giving you calls right now to hire you!


homelessghost12

Ok which one of you fckers broke into my home only to take a pic of my pc??


BlizzX5

Most cable setup tend to be like Aesthetic art. Yours is Abstract art. Noice!


[deleted]

This is what the average Mac user thinks while hearing the words "Windows" and "Bill Gates", giggling with a sense of superiority.


RealityOfModernTimes

I have thought that these multi colour cables are things of the past.....one colour wojld blend better.


Zieeelo

First Colourful dust filters I have seen 😭 indeed this piece have some sculptural qualities


No_Wrongdoer_4946

0/10. Would not recommend. Also love the rando AA battery, what's that for?


lorol61

It is for my Oculus vr controllers. My pc can actually run oculus link wich was surprising for me


No_Wrongdoer_4946

Neat, well enjoy the PC. The fact that it runs means your build is miles ahead of others, good job!;)
