Beware of icicles inside...

Nice rig you built there, and so tidy inside

All the spare power cables are in the top drive bay area, glad I had plenty of cable ties.

Thanks, good to know. Mine will be bottom-mounted so directly below the GPU slots on the mobo. I should have plenty of fans and airflow but I don't want anything getting any hotter than it needs to.

I am hoarding twisty ties even as we speak.

Good day, my build = corsair 750 modular (so less cables). My PSU is bottom mounted, Just be sure you give at least inch and a half from tower base to floor, ie the legs on tower may not be high enough, common problem with bottom mounted psu is air intake restriction, specially if sitting on a pile carpet. give some good ground clearance.

Yeah, the case I got has good-sized feet on the bottom, enough to give some decent space underneath. I can always add stick-on bumpers to them if I want to raise it up a little more. It will be sitting up on a desk so whatever space is under there, it will be completely clear, no carpet getting sucked up and blocking anything. And there's a filtered vent directly underneath the PSU.

You got it under control. I don't see your new rig giveing you any probs.

You've given it alot of thought. Small things add up.

@ pappa smurf... Nice rig and I hope many years of enjoyment.

And your OC'd CPU can easily support a bigger/faster GPU later on!

Not really, wasn't up for doing that, so I found a Motherboard deal that included the CPU (overclocked), heatsink and RAM.

our PCs look oddly similar
even the SATA cords are the same colour

Nice job. If it hasn't given you a problem in almost a month it, probably won't.

Take that rig and enjoy it. ...
