Looking really nice and tidy now, but I was going to say something about the GPU hoses like Lehpron did. It kinda hurts to look at that one hose being stretched soo much (gives me the feeling of a wedgy  ). If the hoses were long enough to make a big curve and out of the view of the MOBO it would be more comfortable to look at :D

Looking really nice and tidy now, but I was going to say something about the GPU hoses like Lehpron did. It kinda hurts to look at that one hose being stretched soo much (gives me the feeling of a wedgy ). I never had the privilege of experiencing a genuine wedgy. But I do hate boxer shorts because this one time I sat right down on my boys that somehow swung under there. Did it hurt? Well initially it felt like I sat on a mouse, but before I could react, I woke up on the floor and my entire mid-section felt like it was asleep, I didn't want to move. Now that you mention it, if donta1979 was able to make/take a 1-inch plastic ring section taken from a CD case cover, used longer screws, and positioned it between the radiator fan or the chassis and the fan, then he could keep his current configuration while adding slack to the tubes at the same time. It would be like a duct or vent or channel. donta1979
I know its 1333, but I am not trying to fry my memory controller would rather play it safe. No complaints from me dude, unless you have need for the bandwidth or program loading and installing, higher speed is starting to look like a scam. I'm sure you've seen this DDR3 memory scaling review. I think next time I upgrade, I'd get DDR3-1600 because it will be the cheapest of the highest rated.

I got the 8gb sticks at 24 dollars each. Honestly using both 1333 and 1600 don't see any difference. Only reason to go with 1600 or faster is for over clocking head room. I won't have to worry about my memory controller on CPU going out with 48 gb of ram at 1333. No room in 5.25 bays DVD drive ssd WD velociraptor and fan controller.
