Very clean, fantastic cable management. :clap:

[HuffPCair]

Yeah I agree very nice.

[Riggs]

The only thing I see is the video card cable! :O

[rocket733]

Nice build, very clean.

[Kingcarcas]

Dude are you even using cables??? 9000/10 :shocked:

[breathemetal]

Oh look, a fellow nvnews member :)

Like ive said before, very clean rig!

[l33t p1mp]

I think you mean 9001/10...

[Crossbone]

I'll raise you one, and say 9002/10 :up:

[breathemetal]

I may have to look into snaggin a p190 now, haha. Powdercoated black...some nice lights...some good ole tubes runnin through it...oh yeah.

You think u could fit a 3 fan rad in there?

[Angmaar]

9.9/10 the only thing that could be better is a 24pin hole drilled to the right of it. Awesome though!!

[hchristian]

The bar for builds is set pretty high here on XS :D

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 5 is an unmodded case with good cable management, I would give you a 6 because your cable management is EXCELLENT!

A little lacking in aesthetics in my opinion, powder coating the interior and some MDPC sleeving would score you another couple points

[GAR]

good job, 8.5 out of 10

[[DANGERDAN]]

powder coating on its way with cable sleeving in mind then water cooling:up:

[hchristian]

Woah! Getting closer to that 10! :clap:

[[DANGERDAN]]

well it was never a intended fineshed job lol still much to do and much to learn

[hchristian]

No offense to the thread starter but...
If that is a 9.9, then something like this by Coolermeister will blow the rating system out of whack!!!

http://www.coolercases.co.uk/skull/skull_2210.jpg

That's why I said the bar is really high here on XS :D

[[DANGERDAN]]

lool that comp won the nvidia SLI comp of course its better one of the best ever made but hay i see what ya mean i would give it a 6 myself bt once it gets powder coated calbes sleeved 24 pin hoe placed and water cooling then ya can bring the pic up again rofl:up:

[Jass]

That's extremely clean, nice work. To be honest the only thing that I dislike the case and the color of it, the rest is superb.

[Angmaar]

No offense to the thread starter but...

I kind of exagerated with the 9.9 (its still way better than mine will ever be) but i ment for cable management. like overall it would be an 8 or so.

[hchristian]

I'll give him a 10/10 for cable management :rofl:

It's like he hid the cables...and the PSU as well

[breathemetal]

I think u have a ton of room for improvement here. You just need to up the bling factor :p
Cable management is taken care of. But remember, its what YOU like, not what WE like. Sure, we can judge, but if YOURE happy, then YOURE happy. Screw what we think :)

[[DANGERDAN]]

im never happy i spend a hour average everyday just to make it look better currently studying ways of getting the case black not really wanting to send it into the shop for powder coating i think i might do a home job with that if... it looks just as good

[hchristian]

I tried painting my case. On photo it looks fine, but on close-up, the finish is simply not as good as those done profesionally.

But I have limited skills and limited tools...

[rocket733]

Powdercoating is the way to go if it's not too expensively locally, the finish is more durable than paint and if it's done right will look just as good.

[labs23]

Pretty neat! I like the simple looks and the awesome cable management. People that are unfamiliar with cable management will probably ask where the wires are. I'll give it a 9.5/10.:up::up:

[apachegank]

awesome wire management dude :)
can you show how to manage the wire?

[Swatrecon_]

Probably 6 or 7 out of 10. It's looks really good, just needs some paint and maybe WC for a full 10.

[exe163]

8/10

1 point off for the yellow cable on the card.

another point off for the dull blue color of steel cases.

Sleeve and paint and it will be perfect!:up:

[RADCOM]

The fan at the bottom might be causing a bit of chaos.....I'd have it blowing down over the cards. A lovely clean build, a definite 9/10 well done m8.

[noinimod]

Cable management is 10/10
Not feeling the blue led fans so.. 8/10 overall lol

[cabbspapp]

I like it, very clean.

[Tile]

The wiremanagement is top-notch and the build quality says it all - I like it a lot.

[upsidedown]

wow, that is really clean wire management. makes me feel ashamed of my comp :p:

[rockfella]

:shocked: One of the best cable managemnet i have ever seen, amazing spacing of components, which damn cabbie is that? :up::up::up: Are the top fan modded by you?

only mod i did was the 4 sata power connectors in the hdd bay the upper two drive bay sata connectors, i have been working on the basics the real mod fun is about to begin

[kemo]

Really nice one m8 , 9.5/10

[pcaddict]

I dont like those led fans.. but nice cable management! :up:

what is that psu?

[SpazBoy357]

Nice work. Great cable management. Now it's time for paint/powder to make it pretty:D

[yaddam205]

I dont like those led fans.. but nice cable management! :up:

what is that psu?

Looks like an Antec of the Neo HE flavor.

[Carbon]

Cable management really is awesome :). It's not perfect though. Like others have said, the standard on this forum is really high, so I'd give it a 6/10 or maybe 7/10.

[Gigantor]

Is that a hard drive tray mounted to the motherboard tray to disguis all of the SATA cables? Very nice, I give it a 7 for great cable management and the potential to be really nice when you get it finished :)

[SamHughe]

It's a great built with a fantastic cable management. I have to give it a 6 though because as somebody put it earlier, we have really high expectations here at XS. I'd really check this section for the case mods that will blow your mind.

EDIT: A very good example would be :PROMETHEUScu (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=197374) built by Langer. Now that one definitely deserves a 10 IMO.

[metachronos]

What's that below the videocard?

[[DANGERDAN]]

two sound cards up top its titanium for gaming below the d2x ultra for music

[Quad-Damage]

You should go water. I have water in that case, fun to try to make it work.

[[DANGERDAN]]

Ugly Window :(

;3493300']Ugly Window :(

http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo278/AoSDANGERDAN/SL271623.jpg

It looks like it needs some painting. ^_^

[ex2cib]

i'd give it an 8/10

-1 since the drive bays just look off with the black case

-1 since i really really dislike blue LED fans

all that said, compared to yours, my case would probably get a 2 or 3. so good job

[MidgetMariachi]

Look sssssiiick!!
I like the blue LED fans. Cable management is excellent. Good job! The only thing I don't like is the window. I'd say 9/10

Midget Mariachi http://www.image-jump.com/img/5cce8dede893813f879b873962fb669f.gif

[shoota]

8/10, needs paint, that's all, good job man!

[[DANGERDAN]]

thanks for the support guys all thats left is how long does it take proffesionaly i can not wait a whole night if it takes longer i would just buy a new one and send that in

[Asulc]

:eek::eek::eek:
That is most likely one of the cleanest builds I have ever seen! Excellent work!
As it stands now, I give it 7.5/10. If the PCI-E cables were sleeved all the way, the case was painted on the inside, the ATX cable was re-sleaved, and what looks like the DVD drives had their cables hidden a little more, it would be a perfect 10/10.

[Vargher Warg]

Awsome cable management! :up:

For an Antec build I give it 9/10

IMHO If you now powder coat or paint the interior black, it would look better together with the big window.

Anyway! - Great work! :clap:

[dan7777]

well.... what can i say that looks amazing wish mine did its a complete mess need a bigger case tho looking at your work man has inspired me to do some work on mine. well done mate 10-10 no question.

[Earzz]

Very nice build.
8/10, would be a 10/10 if the inside case was painted and without the blue fans but thats just my personal preference.

[Blacky]

one of the most cleanest setups I ever seen you got talent mate :up:

[moogle]

No offense to the thread starter but...
If that is a 9.9, then something like this by Coolermeister will blow the rating system out of whack!!!

That one has a few more cables showing :)


If this is your first build and cable management, then wow that is simply amazing cable hiding :D

[enigma96]

Wow that is one awesome build man. I have the same case, and I thought mine was good :-) yours makes mine look like a 2 year old built it. How the hell did you manage to hide all the power supply cables??? I tried lots of ways in mine and I couldn't even come close to yours....

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=164&pictureid=342

[[DANGERDAN]]

you have different case i have the 190 you have the 182 i beleive.

this is my first build been working on it for a year about a hour a day more sometimes working on it all i did was try make it look better everyday and it would keep getting better :up:

[rob1101]

wow that really is clean I had to look for the PSU for a second :P

[Dark Prodigy]

8.25/10 Very clean wiring but boring as hell.

[LAMB OF GOD]

hey one of the best cable management i have ever seen! nice job done bro!!! ... u just need to hide ur drive bays and edges a bit with some sort of painting or lettering (like u name this rig somthing XiliX or something)

[Josifek]

Lol, where are the cables ? :D Nice job hiding them :yepp:

Only one thing is missing, and that is the black inside, and a few less fans, or the ones down in black.

[Nanometer]

I like blue led fans too, but I think it's a little much. No other complaints, looks very good.

[breathemetal]

How is the psu that came with the case? Are there 2 seperate psus or just 2 linked together as 1?

[[DANGERDAN]]

two linked together as one but still easy to have gtx 280 sli so im happy, no name for it lol its just my pc .
Will be working on it alot more so look out later after christmas for a powder coated antec case ..:up:

[methimpikehoses]

I haven't seen this case since...
