Nice, but you have to hide the cords better, cause they ruin the See-Through case thing.

That is about as tidy as it can get. Other than cleaning the window I wont be able to make the rear 120mm wire any better because the 3 pin on the mobo is under all the cards. Before I get water I dont think the HSF wire could be done any better either. The IDE and power cables could probably be a bit nicer but they are all rounded and do not look terrible as they are.

See what you can run under the motherboard, its a very good place to hide the small wires, as for the big ones, usully if theres room get them from somewhere behind the powersupply and like behind the CDrom and HardDrive bays.....if this makes any sense whatsoever....ill be ****ing....suprised

i think its better if you show the chunkyier wires cause i feel it adds to the look, as for the smaller ones go just hide them under the motherboard like he said

Yeah, I like the "chunky" wires too.
Leech, you were understandable.

The case is a Lian-Li PC-7 Plus and it has a wall that covers the PSU so you dont see any wires coming out of it.

It is an athlon 64 3700+ but socket 754, not 939.
1024mb Corsair XMS 3200 2-2-2-5 stock
128mb 5900se video card, 6800gt ordered though
PSU is a OCZ modstream 450 watt, its got an incredible stainless finish that you can see if you put in a case without the wire cover, or take out the wire cover. All the rails are rock solid on that thing.

That's a very sexy computer. I like the brushed metal look (or whatever it's called).

For your supply supply, do you use one with removal cables? I saw a 500w power supply on sale for $20 the other day and it had these really neat cables that you could detach (and the cables look similar to yours).

John,
It is an OCZ Modstream 450 watt psu. OCZ also makes a 520 watt version too, on newegg they run $70 and $115. If the power supply you saw for $20 was an X-Connect, avoid it, they look cool but are very poor quality.
