Some INEL hearts were broken in the making of this. this build is SAtA, its stays cool 78*F (with room temps). Yes i am using a pci video card lMAO. The cables, soon i'm getting from a friend those white things that resemble the ones cops use as handcuffs. THE LED, sorry i couldnt get rid of the camera flash but they are BRIGHT, also the 80mm on the side fan has a blue light..that doesnt show much in the pictures cuzz of the flash. OVERALL thank you PCMECH i learned a lot, my whole family is complimenting me on this nice ROCKING build, thank u all

EDIT:
the black plastic things on the side are "latches" this is a SCREWless case, it totally ROCKS.

Your wiring needs to be cleaned up a bit...it's pretty messy right now. And some of the pictures are out of focus.

Is this your first build? If it is, congrats!

if i were you i would attach the cables together with plastic elastics. also when you attach them try to make it look nice, stuff the cables in a corner or something, to make it look professional

anyway congrats on first built

You might be able to pick up some zip ties at a Home Depot (or wherever)...I got a pack of 100 there for a couple bucks.

I use lots of nylon zip ties and bunch the wires together. Then I just try to move the bundles out of the air flow paths.

Here's a picture of the interior of a computer I just finished for someone. It's not the best wiring job I've done...I'm getting a little lazy in my old age.

thats a pretty good job. the main idea of clean wiring is for better airflow (especially if you have IDE ribbon cables in the way), and for those who have see through side panels on their cases, better looks.
