... for the ugliest mod ever made :oops:

I know one should never "punt" yourself or your own products, but I think I have proven myself here :? 8O :roll:

As can be seen in the pics below, I don't have enough power to run everything, so I did a dual PSU mod... Running all my drives/fans/lights etc off the small psu and just the mobo and my new 8800GT off the 430W thermalrape psu...
Seems like the 800W odin all of a sudden looks like a good idea after all...

Sorry about the crappy quality pics, only have a cell-cam...

Normally windows are behind curtains? :S
But if the curtain and the rail is long ennough it could cover a portion of the wall next to it, but mounting a monitor there might not be the best idea due to glare and direct sun in your eyes.etc

But then once again it would depend what else is outside the window, maybe a try would be blocking it or and some walls and the sun wouldnt really shine there :D

@ Dae - I know you don't need to pay for imageshack etc but I've never worried to create an account!

Dae, you disappoint me....

Don't see it as a cable management nightmare...see it as a a cable management modding opportunity.

The cable management isn't too bad once you cut a few holes, mod a few cables, and generally put your dremel to good use :)
