Default Built my new system! Totally excited
check it out at http://tonygoodwin.wordpress.com

Any suggestions for anything to make it better? Keep in mind I am on a tight budget. Cable management ideas are severely needed.

Two words:

Zip Ties!

It just takes time and careful planning and you'll have that thing cleaned up in no time.

It actually doesn't look too bad as it is.

3GHz on stock cooling is easy. Got that on my E4300, and they run hot (got a new cooler since though).

gratz on the new rig. I would like to see you pull the cables to the back of the mobo tray and utilize the cable management slot they have in the case to make it look neater. But that is just me.

As far as routing the cable on the back, I am not sure that the combination of PSU, case, and motherboard will give me enough slack to do that.

Any suggestions on where to place the zip ties? I am using some already, and not real sure where I would put more...

Thanks for all your comments!
