This photo is a year old.

This is my old setup. Changed GPU and Mobo since then and added a few more fans. My new setup is same case, but cables are much more hidden. Getting my MurderMod sleeving kit soon, so should be even better - will take photo's then.

SHAW? Seriously man. That thing is lucky to supply 400w before it blows. Go spend some real money on a power supply, if you value your system.

+1.
the 2x12v rails is, at least, nicer than most of the no name brands (they sometimes have the load spread over many more = voltage sag galore), but the pissy 32amps (combined).. just no.

its probably fine for the PC youve built there, but dont expect to add much (if any) more hardware to it, or to use it in the next PC you build.

do some more research next time..

i was given it when i upgraded my graphics card, i didnt pick it. with only 1 hdd drive and 1 optical drive, wouldnt i logically get a modular psu so i dont have 5million spare cables hanging around my case??

Here's my rig. First ever attempt at cable management today. I know I've gotta lose the IDE drives, or at least get a longer cable :P Also gotta get the front panel audio cable under the mobo. Will probably do that tomorrow.

Do the cords behind your motherboard make the case hard to shut?

With my P182 and my ZM-750Hp power supply, the back side of the case does not actually shut
Thinking about buying the HX620

+1 please i dont care if your friends friend friend has 90 of them running in there data center and they are going fine. These power supplies are rated for 400w at like 17-20 degrees and do not have any of the standard and advanced protection steps that better power supplies do. Save your the hassle and the troubleshooting and just get a good unit. Your power bill will also improve

For me in my antec 1200. Yep.
Though when i had a Thermaltake Armour+, it did not...more room.

just be SUPER neat with it and it will shut fine though.

I thought it would but if you make sure all the cables run behind the mobo bit side by side and not overlapping at all it should work. You should still be neat with it even though you can't see it

Marshy919 · 26th March 2009, 12:04 PM

I wish case manufacturers could add an extra .5cm - 1cm extra room behind there
Would make everything so much easier
