Ok here are some shots of my i7 rig with a cable managed tech station. All unused cables were zip tied together behind the station out of the way :D

Thanks for the comments guys. Indeed tech stations are not easy to make them look clean, but I pulled it off somehow :laugh:

This setup will not see frost. It will be the am3 setup I will have early next year (hopefully) that will see the frost :)

Thanks fo all the comments guys, I don't know how I pulled it off my self. Most of the builds u see on torture racks or tech stations have sleeved psu's and stuff which help. This one doesn't and it looks great IMO.


Indeed camera was a E-500 :)

Here are my other two rigs guys


First Rig: Core 2 Duo E6300/ABIT Quad GT X38/DDR2-800 Crucial Ballistix Tracers 2X1GB/ ATI X300 PCI-E Card

Second Rig: QX9650/ASUS P5N32-SLI Deluxe/Corsair Dominator 2X1GB DDR3-1800/GeForce MX 420 PCI card

These are just crunchers, that's why the cheap cards :)

Very tidy :)

Must not go into them much! LOL

Someday I will learn how to have such a clean looking rig. So far my attempts at wire management usually include duct tape
