Well ... Deskpooter got some new presents today
I decided I agreed with Drumthumper about those grey IDE cables. Not so much for the visual lack of appeal - though that is now a part of the reason as my plans develop. More because the way they were laying was seriously impeding airflow around the desk drawer. Although the top is still open at the moment and thats not a problem it will be when she is closed up.
So in honour of her new smoked glass top which I may get round to ordering later this week, she has lovely rounded yellow disk cables and also some green cold cathode tubes so I can light her up under the smoked glass for visitors I'd like to find a similar yellow material to loom the power supply wires with. Anyone got a bright idea?
I think the PSU may be turning yellow too.
Yazeed - a good question - It can get a little warm at the moment which is why it's open at the top. But then I haven't installed the cooling components yet. I am waiting on a Noctua CPU cooler at the moment (review here) which will be ducted to draw cool air straight into the cabinet (plexiglas tunnel methinks).
Then the huge 120mm Noctua will be pushing air in at the front of the case and around the optical drives and hard drive. Also I have an 80mm fan that will push air out the side, creating flow round the Mobo and PCI components.
Now I need to cut the wood some more to be able to complete the installation and my neighbour hasn't come back from his now very extended "mating leave".
