My New Computer Build

the mesh tubing comes standard on pretty much all modern 'enthusiast'/'gaming' psu's.

oh.. not the mesh tubing/outside cover of the wires. There's some rubber shrink wrap on part of the wires. I thought you put those but I guess it can be standard with all the connectors. I was just wondering if there was anything exposed there that had to be shrinked wrap (the brown color rubber stuff).

you want a bad *** case with lots of room?
take a look at the corsair 800d. Article and pics best full size case on the market.
also instead of the costly air coolers you can look into the corsair h50 cooler or even the corsair h70

ill take some pics

The case isn't all that bad at all... but there was about a $250 difference in price that I paid for mine as opposed to that one lol.

And honestly I prefer air cooling if it is at all possible to do.

Add this cooler:



along with the two 120mm fans that you can hook to it.... it's pretty gnarly

Nice rig! Now get that thing Water Cooled and see what it can really do.

its just a rubber sleeve to keep the mesh tubing together and in place so it doesn't fray over time. also pretty standard on any modern high end PSU.

on older PSU and even modern budget ones the cables can get all sorts of tangled, and bad cable placement is one of the largest contributors to heat (because the cables reduce airflow).

my setup for example on has one cable that actually drapes over the components.

I got it super cheap, couldn't really pass it up for the price.

It was outdated the day after you got it lol
