Wouldn't call that great cable management, but not bad with a crappy case & non-modular PSU, you can do far worse.
I couldn't go back to a non-modular PSU or top mounted PSU and no cable management though, I'd feel like a Neanderthal.

the only reason it got any good reviews is because NZXT threatens to stop sending free review samples out if anything of theirs gets a bad review[/QUOTE]
Yeah, maybe it is then, I've just watched some reviews of it, never saw it in real life.

uh, it's great cable management, considering it's impossible to get it any better in the case

I'd like to see you do better. I think he did an excellent job when you consider what he had to work with.

I got a Beta Evo for free and it was an absolute piece of shit. The metal was flimsy and the overall build quality was not very good. It arrived with a couple of noticeable dents on the top of the case. Some of the tool-less drive mounts were broken (bad plastic molding job). Good thing I didn't pay for it. It's sitting in my garage, collecting dust, where it should be.
I said it was good for what he can do with the case.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;30931642]You can do cable management in any case.
This is my mATX case with a NON MODULAR psu

i have my extra cables is tucked away on top of my cd drive (it's in the 2nd slot). My case does have that empty space behind the rack like yours so its a bit harder to hide the cable that has to travel from the top to bottom of the motherboard.

Some (very bad) pictures of my new PC. It's not finished yet, so cable management is minimal. Still waiting on my NIC and some more fans to arrive, once i've put those in i'll take some decent pics.

Those pictures are incredibly confusing.

good lord somebody that has to wait for a NIC to be delivered
if I ever need ethernet I just use onboard or go through the good ol' PC parts bucket (currently has about 9 intel NICs along with a shit load of vga/dvi cables, old GPU's and various other worthless shit)
Wait, why can't you use onboard anyways? Does our board not have onboard NIC?
I need wireless, that's why.
Also I can't finish building it until summer hols (2 weeks).
So NIC and case fans'll have arrived by then.
Oh, I always figured people mean an ethernet card when they say NIC. So that confused me.
that gets me too
Just curious, what type of PCI slot do most sound cards use?
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;30969557]Its PCIe x1[/QUOTE]
yeh if you wanna be anal over a name

there is a difference, you know
[QUOTE=rampageturke 2;30969569]yeh if you wanna be anal over a name[/QUOTE]
Have fun trying to fit a PCI card into a PCIe slot.
It depends on the card. The higher-end ones use PCIe, the lower ones just PCI.
or simply older ones. My Creative X-Fi Platinum is on PCI. I wish creative hired a new dev team. Their drivers are industry leading for suck.

850W nonmodular, is it a PC or a giant bowl of noodles
and you have the heatsink fan on backwards, it's now fighting for air with the exhaust fan
move it to the other side and still pushing air through the heatsink, it's called an exhaust fan for a reason
why do you have the old 932 when the new version is the same price

I have the old 932 'caus I was a retard.
850w is semi-modular.
And no it's not, I reversed the fan.
I have an old 932 that i bought from a friend of mine. He actually powder-coated the entire thing :D
To be fair, he bought it before the black ones came out. And he sold it to me for 50 bucks with shipping.
