Ah, the infamous "Post Your Desktop" thread, this time for good in the Computer and Technical forum! Also, post a picture of your whole computer setup, list its juicy specs, and tell us a bit about your computer and what you do on it.
Specs:
I also use a 20" Dell widescreen monitor and these speakers. I watch movies, listen to music, surf the web, play games, and occasionally do work on this PC. I love it!

A newer pic of my desktop, and an older one of my computer.
Infinite regression desktop ftw.
EDIT- ING!
EDIT2- SPECZ!
Abit μGuru motherboard
AMD Athlon 64
A pitiful 256mb ram stick
+ 256mb virtual memory
ATI Radeon X 1300 Pro
Since the picture of my setup I've upgraded my monitor to a ViewSonic 19" LCD display, and my speakers are now a rediculously large surround sound system.

The old speakers came with a Dell Dimernsion circa 1997.
My old graphics card was a Radeon Sapphire 9550se, I blew it up, then Doodle sent me an old AOpen, circa somewhere around '97, and then I just got this one. I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I just need one good enough for a large resolution and full colours.

It's sort of messy... I know you got watercooling and stuff, but still... but maybe I'm just picky

Oh God, that is dusty as Hell!
My wiring job isn't that much better:
However, in my defense, the SST-TJ07 is a huge case and as you can see, a bunch of them are really stretching just to reach their components. I didn't want to run cables up through the middle, but I had to with the 8-pin CPU power cable. Also, I'm going to see if I can buy a round 24-pin motherboard power cable. I think I'd have a hard time taking that cable apart and putting it back together again. For the 4-pin Molex connectors, I'm going to put cable sleeving and heat shrink on. Also, I'm going to replace that ugly flat IDE cable from the X-Fi Platinum to the front panel with a round IDE cable. After I'm done rewiring, I'm going to install some lighting and finally water cooling for the CPU and graphics card! I think I'm going to write a guide for cooling PCs on here.

Uhh.. why not just sleeve the 24pin cable..?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Felagund on 2006-12-29 at 22:10:28
I already told you that I don't want to have to deal with putting it back together!
3-pin and 4-pin connections are simple and easy, but if I made a mistake with the 24-pin connection, I'd probably kill my motherboard (and I'm not doing that!).

You don't have to take them apart, you should be able to fit the sleeving right over the molex's... at least... probably depends on what sleeving you have... maybe not, either way removing the plugs off them aren't that hard...

Also, if you really want the 24 pin sleeved, you can always use spiral wrap..

Nope. I want that cool mesh sleeving. That stuff looks awesome. Anyway, I'm going to just spend $10 and save myself the trouble.

Because some of your wires appear to be bungee cords. If I had wires like that sticking out, people would take them off without realising what they were.

My case and GPU fans are so loud... I'm probably not really going to overclock this PC (already have CPU at 3.3 GHz and see no reason to overclock Ram/GPU). I'm definitely going to upgrade their HSF's though with a Tuniq Tower 120 and... well, what is a good HSF for the 8800 GTX?
