    Re: Pote's Rockin' New Rig

    It took me a HELL of a lot longer to actually build than I thought because I wanted the wiring to be as clean/neat as possible. It certainly is neater the second time around. I took some pics, with my phone that I will upload later.

    Loaded the OS and video card drivers last night before I went to bed. Win7 took LESS than 30 mins to write and fully install!! I love my new SSD, thanks for suggesting it Draco

    I still have to install my media hard drive, wireless card and get the appropriate 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket, but those are relatively painless. Though, figuring out the best way to save my files and to move it over is going to make me scratch my head a bit.

    I was actually half surprised that everything worked strait out of the box!!

    I ran the win7 tool to "rate this pc" or what ever. My old rig was a 5.9 or something and my new rig is like a 7.9. The slowest thing...is the processor...a core i7 2.8Ghz Yeah, ok, I think im solid 8)

    Sorry for the delay. I wanted to make sure I got the wiring JUST right, then I had to go and install all the usual programs. Personally, I think 3Dmark vantage cheated me. Measly 15K

    The power cable you have routed over top of your video card can likely be routed under the video card towards the back of the case. I ran mine there, it fit between the PCI-E slot and the back of the case and doesn't interfere with the card.

    Thats the CPU power cable. Unfortunately its on the small side so I dont know if it will reach. Will try tomorrow some time.

    Yeah... I should take a picture of how I have mine routed. If it's long enough to route over the card, it should be long enough to route under...
