Yeah, I've been working around the house to pay off my rig. I only owed $800 to begin with though. | |

I've just ordered it this morning and all I've got left to my name is £1.10 to last me all week, lol, it's well worth it though. Now I have to wait for the old 'snail mail' to bring it. | |

| Having the PSU at the top really makes cable management hard. | |

I know it's a bit messy in there isn't it? I could buy rounded cables for the P-ATA and SATA connections and tidy up a bit in there but I'm too lazy. I do clean the dust out every couple of months though. It may not be a top of the line system but I have made sure there's enough air flow and temperature is kept at optimal levels. I fitted my memory with copper heatsinks and fitted a fan to the chipset (although it doesn't heat up now as I don't use the onboard graphics) | |

I fitted my memory with copper heatsinks and fitted a fan to the chipset (although it doesn't heat up now as I don't use the onboard graphics) yeah when I first built my rig I didn't even think about cable management, but later I went back and did my best to clean it up. | |

| I will sort it out when I get the time but like I said, I'm just too darn lazy. I'm the type of guy that when I'm fending for myself, instead of cooking a meal at dinnertime, I just get a bowl of breakfast cereal (Coco Pops are my favourite) | |

I know what you mean. I've been fending for myself during the days this summer and I haven't been eating much other than ramen, easy mac, and cereal. | |
