I've seen a lot of threads about sharing things about your computer -- post your desktop background, post your desk setup, and more, but so far there hasn't been a thread where you can showcase all the work done to the inside of your computer to make it run well!

Here's mine:

(OLD)



(NEW)



(Click for full size)

The cable management could be better, but there is next to no room behind the motherboard, so routing cables back there was not an option (the case is from mid-2006, I really need to get a new one :S).

Fun fact: the expansion card covers in there are from a computer from the 90s that used a TI i486 CPU.

KillertoadHad the same problem in a build I did for someone else.

Your best bet is probably to pull all the wires out, and fold then up to the perfect link, and zip tie them all together in neat groups, lol.


Will do that on a day where I have a lot of free time to contemplate cables.

Edit: On the plus side, I wont be running out of storage soon.

I said link in the above post.. I meant length, woops, lol.

And yeah, took me awhile to get all the right lengths and zip tie them all together.

And haha, I have 4ish HDD's, ranging from different sizes, and I thought I had a lot, but look at you, with 3ish TB's, hahaha

I was thinking about setting up a NAS, but hooking a 2 TB external hard drive to our router served that purpose. It's not as fast as a NAS (USB 2.0 speed >.<), but it beats having another computer running 24/7.

I'd zip tie them in groups so they aren't as jumbled.


They are jumbled due to the length of the cables, pretty much just packed them down there.

Don't even bother opening a laptop unless you really want/have to. It took me over an hour to open my laptop for the first time (Pavilion DV5). If I were to open it now it would take about 15min. There is not much inside, most you see anyway is the motherboard. And then there is the assembling...

Opening a desktop takes like <5 seconds.
