Panda's holiday adventure! - Page 4

Panda Man · January 2nd, 2008

I did this a few days ago, I just forgot to post pics :P

I decided I wasn't really that happy with the outcome, and decided to give it another go. I also figured I may as well follow blakes advice duct tape it as well. Really adds to the ghetto theme :P. I was going to try and route the cpu molex behind the motherboard as well (hence the new hole at the top), but it isn't long enough, I can barely get it the connector as it is, and it won't fit directly under the motherboard. Well anyways, here it is in all it's glory:

Here's a shot of when I first built it if you want to see the improvements. Not for the faint of heart.

That means you blake... This is your last warning, turn away now!!

I did clean the wiring up a tiny bit after this, but yeah

Wow, really cleaned up that mess! Good job! Still really ghetto, but at least I don't barf whenever I see it...

I would be careful of the tape under the board like that as I have seen duct tape that is conductive... I would have used electricians or electrical tape

I'm pretty sure this isn't conductive, but I'll watch out regardless, thanks!

WOW, that's so ghetto-fabulous, nice job!

I'm surprised you can even get the right side panel on over that mess!

I had to push down just a tad bit, the 24-pin motherboard cable was the only thing that gave me any trouble :P

My CPU was idling at 20C last night :D
