    Post Rate my Gaming Rig/Cable Management

    Hey guys, finally after 6 months I'm 80% complete. I still want to upgrade RAM,MOBO,CPU, and Heatsink.

    So maybe im not even at 80% complete but thats monthss down the road :P

    So yea i just want to know if it looks good? Going more of a red theme. Haven't really thought of a name for it yet though, so post some names for it! (Nothing stupid/rude either)

    I want to know how my cable management is? I know its not pro, but its the best i could considering i ran out of zip ties.

    Here are the specs:

    Windows 7 x64 Ultimate
    AMD 9950 BE OC'd to 3.0 ghz 38 idle, 46 100% full load.
    790GXE 128mb Motherboard
    Heatsink is a Coolermaster Hyper 212+
    4x 1GB DDR2 Samsung Ram(lulz took it from Dell 8400 and Some other Dell)
    1x Sapphire Vapor-X 5770 Overclocked Edition
    1x 80GB Seagate HD (took from dell 8400 its 11 years old)
    1x 500gb Seagate HD(1 month old)
    2x Red/Orange Cathode Sound Activated Lights
    1x NZXT 2m Red LED Kit
    3x 230mm Fans
    1x 140mm Fan
    1x Blueray Player/DVD/RW (dont know the brand, scrapped from parents computer )
    600w Thermatake PSU
    Case is a Coolermaster 932 Haf-X
    [size=medium]UPDATE!

    Nice option on the poll! <3

    Wow wire manage looks pretty good it looks quite tidy in there.
    Like all of the lights and things, they add some customization neatness too it.
    Is it a full tower?
    Sound activated lights eh? Does your case look like there is a party going on inside of it when you listen to music/game?

    How much appx did this cost you?

    I think those LED lights will cause unnecessary heat making your power bills go higher (Edit: The lights will drain the power is what I meant making your bills higher) and also making your fans work harder using even more power.

    But the cabling looks very nice, I do like the second pic

    LED doesn't produce any heat at all (not measurable in a computer anyways), and doesn't require much power at all

    Infact you are correct, because LED TV's use 40% less power than LCD TV's :P

    But still energy is energy, if you got solar power, use all the energy you want! It's clean

    @ YoHoJo Roughly around ~$450 but alot of parts were scrapped from a couple of old computers. And yep its a full tower. And im sure the people who have it here will say its a HEAVY case. Weighs 30 pounds alone when its empty. Dont know how much it weighs now.

    Yea i love the sound activated lights, you have to install like a MIC into your computer and whenever there is a bass beat they light up. You can adjust the sensitivity level on them too.

    @ power wise installing any PSU that uses alot of wattage like 600 watt, 800 watt, 1000wat etc. Will make ur bill go higher. Overall building any gaming rig is going to use up alot of power. If i was building a power saver for 24/7 server operation, then that's a different story. :P

    Thanks for the comments guys. Im still going to take everything apart and adjust the cableing a bit. some areas bug me.

    That's the beauty of LED
    But there does exist LEDs that require more power + gives off more heat

    Only downside with solar panels is that the energy it requires to create one panel is corresponding to ~5 years of that solar panel use

    It depends on type of power supply..80 plus certified power supply will save more on the bill than just any power supply
