@nitrokojote looks fine you could maybe hide that sata cable by looping it behind the case backplate

Other than that it's good

I was thinking about that, but it put too much stress on the cable, so I left it be

It's not s long cable

Thanks though. It's an okay machine, it's better than what I used to rock

i5-2400, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, GTX 650 2 GB OC, Biostar TH61A, and a Thermaltake Smart 500W

I've seen people curl sata cables around screwdrivers which helped with keeping a tidy look when plugged in

Don't know if that's any good on the cable though

,my friend its 2019

correct solut ion is no sata

all m.2 nvme

you can do nvme over a sata cable

with some SAS adapters <:alismirk:230784726615588865>

you used to get thin sata connectors but I think they're not offered anymore

nvm

Eh, oh well, it's only one SATA cable.

that cable management looks alright

easier to work with a modern case with cable management features, than a huge tower from 2007 that hardly has anything

Or just sprawling a BTX motherboard, two power supplies, and all that fun stuff on one side of a desk

really though it's just a Rosewill, you could tell by the cheap rivets on the plexiglass panel

will you fall for the SFF meme one day?

I did and haven't regretted a single thing

maybe

I'm stuck with ATX because the motherboard I have is that.

I ain't paying another $70 CAD to get a Chinese board of questionable quality

Thought my TH61A was doomed when it started acting up thanks to the lane bug

But I figured out how to save it

my next build will legit be Mini-ITX or even smaller if I can

welp he's right

smol computers are pretty neat

nowadays there is little reason to go bigger than matx

You can get a GPU more powerful than the one in my case around the same size

And this is a short card.

MSI GeForce GTX 650 2GB OC.
