Nice Build

I got 5.0 on the Experience Index

Well, the Power supply works. I've been on Vista Ultimate x64 for about 7 hours now (mostly installing games and software, as well as exploring the new OS. I scored 5.5 on that Windows power-test thing). I have to say I disagree with the criticisms of Vista. If the computer can handle it it's truly a wonderful and beautiful OS.

Glad the Power Supply Unit works... as for Vista I'm sure it's decent -- if you can get drivers for everything. I do intend to upgrade my system, hopefully this year

Hopefully tomorrow I'll add pictures of it to the Build Gallery! If I do, ignore the enormous clump of wires. I've decided when I upgrade the Power Supply Unit, it's going to be Modular. The cable management is a nightmare.

You can neaten up that rat's nest-- with some spiral sleeving etc... it will improve appearance and increase internal case airflow. It's tedious-- but worth it.

Okay, let me rephrase that... within a year's time-- is what I meant

This soon after Christmas with a 6-year-old Grandson... the wallet's still smoking

and if you'll notice my user-name... it's very accurate

I already have a lot of them together with tie wraps. It's just that my Power Supply Unit has SO MANY cables. Think the Thermaltake Armor series chassis, filled to the brim with as many components as possible, and then 10 or so cables left over. That's what my PSU is like. There's just TOO MANY. I'm sure it would be better on just about any other PSU, but this has just pushed me toward Modular.

It actually took me about 4 months before I realized what your username meant. I thought it was jibberish. >_<;;

My Tagan Modular is very nice. Have a well presented box full of Power Supply Unit cables

Oh, I don't blame you for wanting modular-- that was the reason they started making it...anyone wanting "neat and tidy" has their hands full with most regular Power Supply Unit's--
I just bundle all the unused ones together as best I can (not too tightly)-- and wire-tie them up out of the way.

and no... it's not jibberish--in fact it has dual meanings for me--
I don't like bills-- because nobody does--
but I also carry them for a living...hence the "US Mule" underneath.
