No thats rather bad.
It's not too bad, but it's certainly not amazing.
[QUOTE=Nevermind.;31855492]I just read about UV "painting" and I'm considering doing it on my computer, I think it would add a unique touch to it. Would be interesting to try out.

My store was out of the corsair memory that I wanted to fit with the silver and blue look, but I just went with ripjaws.

Well, compared to my snapped in half laptop and my old pc, yeah it's definitely better.
A 550 ti and i5 2400 is very respectable honestly, I'm still running a core 2 duo with 6870 and don't plan to upgrade until Bulldozer/ivy.
The 550 Ti isn't respectable. The i5-2400 is good though.
6870 > 550 Ti IIRC.

I'm not running SLI with the piece of shit I have right now.
modular is not the same as good

Well I didn't really think about making it look like that, I have a blue motherboard, ram and gpu so I would try to keep on that theme.

I think the dust really compliments the non-existent cable management.
But at the end of the month I'm getting a CM690 II and a bunch of other shit.

You should clean the old parts even if you are getting new ones, in a month.
[QUOTE=Nevermind.;31886439]You should clean the old parts even if you are getting new ones, in a month.[/QUOTE]
I'll be cleaning everything out when I get the parts.

Why did you de-brand the PSU?
Just finished installing drivers and stuff on my brand new PC! My first build aswell
I think i did alright with cable management, most of them did fit behind the motherboard tray. It just looks messy in the middle there, but its not as bad as it looks, most of it isn't blocking the airflow.

Case - Cooler Master HAF 922 + Additional 200mm fan on side panel
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
MoBo - ASUS P8Z68V-PRO
PSU - Corsair TX750 V2 Non-modular

GPU - XFX Radeon 6950 2GB GDDR5 "Dual Fan" edition
CPU - Intel Core i5 2500k @ 4,3GhZ (Auto-clocked using TPU switch on MoBo) Stock cooler, totally stable :v:

These dual fan GPUs are rather nice, they're so quiet (That's my ye olde geforce 8800GTS at the bottom)

Also, I know, 16 gigs of ram sounds like nothing but bragging rights, but why not? I got 25% off of it, and it wasn't very expensive in the first place. Also, i play the European Theathre mod for Company of Heroes, which easily eats up your 8 gigs if you try and run it on high graphics :v:
Damn the 912 is ugly on the inside, I guess you get what you pay for.
That's a 922.
Oh wow, with $100 you could get something like this:

totally radical.
