Search your local Criagslist and pick up an Ikea Jerker Desk. They are super simple to assemble, you can easily adjust the height of the desk to monitor shelf, has support towers with holes spaced all up and down the entire length so with some basic hardware you can mount anything to them...

Re: Today I have... It's actually a plane, not quite as exciting. Did see a couple satellites while I was there, but didn't catch any in the pictures, had a few shooting stars, but with the (2 min) exposure length, their short duration isn't enough to really make the trail super bright.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! $310 million DRAM price fixing settlement could get you $10 - or much, much more | PCWorld Not the first time there either.

Re: Today I have... Turned 32 consecutive images, one of which can seen below. Into this composite layered photograph of Half Dome and the Yosemite Valley.

Re: The What You've just Bought thread! Picked up another 4gb of XMS3 memory for the desktop.

Cable extensions are an option, otherwise you either do it yourself, or if you have more money than sense, buy a corsair modular and their individually sleeved cable sets. I did just hear about these earlier today though. Probably the cheapest place to get em. NZXT | PC Hardware Manufacturer -...

With a budget like that, build a custom loop. If you have additional questions about that, ask away. Also if you are in need of parts, I have a brand new 3x120mm Swiftech Radiator.

Okay here's pics with the power supply flipped. The wiring definitely comes out in a more manageable way, but I am not a fan of the giant specs sticker on the top. Also swapped out the black and white sata cable for a matching all black one, and stacked them so only see the single cable.

Ah I think I realize what you were talking about now. You meant entirely removing the metal hard drive cage, unfortunately with my top rad and pump/t-line sitting in my 5.25" bays, there's absolutely no room to move my two disk drives up there to take out the cage. Hell, my disc drive barely...

Going to try flipping the PSU and see if that helps the mess of wires coming out of it. Also need to pick up some sleeving stuff to do my fan leads. Happy with how it looks though.

I've had entirely garbage products from Lenovo, namely an original Y510, which was one design flaw after another, and which ultimately had it's GPU die, and hinges completely break. On the other hand, the Lenovo Thinkpad e420 I have now has served me fantastically well and in the 2 and a half...

Re: Today I have... Well that escalated quickly...

Re: Today I have... Thanks Nukem, Currently using two of them, and it just looked kind of silly without the rest in there. The drive "cages" (Generous term for a piece of plastic :P ) are pretty thin so they don't really affect the airflow much more than the massive hunk of metal they sit...

Re: Today I have... Finished my computer rebuild, installed Windows on my new SSD, did some cable management. http://i.imgur.com/Qp8xdeA.jpg http://i.imgur.com/RfetKW6.jpg I'm pleased with the end result.
