I just finished redoing my cable management, so I decided I'd post a couple pictures of my set up. One's of the internal components of my computer (you can find all my specs in my signature), and the other is of my actual desk with everything on it.

Should be obvious that you can click on them to make them bigger. ;)




​

How do you think I did for it being the first time I've ever bothered with cable management? It used to just be a mess.

What case is that? It looks like it has no cable management options built in, so that considered it's pretty good. This reminds I need to go back and try and finagle my 8pin CPU power connector behind my motherboard.
 
It's a Antec Three Hundred. And no, I don't have jumper cables in my computer, Bizon.

*EDIT*: Are you guys able to click on the pictures and view them properly? If not, I'll reupload them to Imageshack.

Ya, I can't view them, I see little thumbnails on the forums but when I click to enlarge it prompts me to log in to your photobucket album for some reason.
 
Alright, I'll reupload them.

*EDIT*: They're reuploaded. Should be able to view them full size now. I had to reduce the pic of the internal part of my computer by a few hundred pixels and reduce the quality slightly for imageshack to accept it for some reason.

I shut down my computer earlier today and went and watched Doctor Who on BBC America, and when I got back and went to power it up, it didn't respond. Checked all my connections and everything and still no power. My dad did the paperclip test on the power supply and it turns out the power supply is dead.

I guess I'll be out of the servers for a while, then. See you guys when I get my replacement PSU from Corsair.
 
Ouch... :/
My old case was an Apevia X-Cruiser
Here's an Apevia X-Cruiser 2, basically the same, just slightly different on the face. and a different window.

Anyways, I noticed with my old case, zip ties worked wonders for cable management. even if you can't hide them, you can bundle them up. Just make sure you have wire snips or something that can cut them easy. Don't want to poke those wires!

My current case is way too big for decent cable management imo :S

EDIT: Also some black electrical tape can do decent on those little wires.

I have the old power supply ready to go to UPS to be shipped to Corsair now... but my dad keeps forgetting to run it up to UPS for me, even if I remind him. D:

I won't be getting a new one until that one's in Corsair's hands, processed, and the new one shipped out.

I have a question for you guys, too. Is there a way I can request a new power supply of equal value and/or pay the extra over the cost of the current one so I could get maybe a HX650?

The HX650 is +$40 more than the CX600 that I have current, and fits more towards what I need (modular, plenty of headroom, and can maybe handle 2 GTX 550 Ti's in the future)
 
I found a temporary replacement within the mess of computers in my garage, so I'll be seeing you guys in game again!

*EDIT*: ...nevermind. Never expected that one to last anyways. It's old and the computer it came from my dad couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
