I have thought about it and looked at different ways of running the cables. Unfortunately, with the power supply cables I am limited to their length, unless they make extensions. Now, with the SATA cables, I am not sure if they make extensions; if they do, I should be able to run all the cables to the back of the case, up, then under the motherboard case. It may not look like it, but I spent hours with the cable management and sleeving (also could be since this is my first time having to do cable management). Other than running the cables to the back of the case, I am out of options.

Do you have any suggestions? thinking.gif

Thank you! thumb.gif

The monitor stand is from EasymountLCD.com

If you look on page two, I have a complete review and build of the stand.

De-Bezeling Yamakasi Catleaps

Well, I finally de-bezeled my Yamakasi Catleaps. Wow! Does it look so much better. thumb.gif

I am still debating if I should cover the silver lining with black electric tape or leave it. What do you think?
























Here is what it use to look like:

thumb.gif looks alot cleaner without the bezels for sure, was going to ask if you had any messed up pixels in any of the screens after the debezzel.
Damn a beast setup for sure man, how are your temps? And you need to shoot a short video of how that thing runs on a few games so we can see some temps and raw power, Good Stuff.

Thanks jojoenglish85! I appreciate it thumbsupsmiley.png

From what I can tell, I have no messed up pixels. biggrin.gif Temps right now are in the low 30's, without running the radiator fans on full blast. I will get a more accurate temp reading while playing GW2 this weekend. I will also post a video with the fans running full force! Surprisingly, it is not that loud - however, the noise wouldn't bother me.

All the extensions you could ever want. I know they only show black here, but they also make Red and White from what I hear.

SATA extensions start on page 5

Or if you're feeling particularly fancy

(No SATA extensions however)

Same as the second verse - but possibly better prices. I honestly didn't look
http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l2/g2/c537/list/p1/Cables-Bitfenix_Alchemy_Multisleeved.html

Or if you're feeling particularly ambitious, and want the custom color - without the hassle of sleeving things yourself:

So, yes. They make extensions. They make extensions for just about anything you could dream of.

Thank you very much for the links. I am definitely going to purchase some. Need to hide the wires more!

So, with the launch of GW2 over the weekend, I am experiencing what I seem to believe is abnormal CPU temperatures. Since the build, is the first time the PC has been pushed all day log.

My i7 3770k temperatures are between 50-52. Is that normally? From what I have read, it should be in the 30s. Do you think there is something wrong with my loop?

So your idle went from 30s to 50s?
