Well, with speaker wire, I can use whatever gauge I want. Plus, it's easy as all I have to do is pull some wire off my spool and cut it to length.

Default My LANPARTY Rig ;)

Alright, when i got my Audigy2ZS, I decided to clean up my case and also install the card as well. Hehe, what a mess the inside was! All that dust and cables EVERYWHERE!

So I decided to clean it up with a wet rag and a hairdryer (lazy to swipe dust off, justblew it away). Blow away the big bits, use the rag to clean out the bits that get stuck.

No UV Lights! Blew away my budget for the PC Fair on that sound card, so hehe, those lights will have to wait

1. The case before it was opened. Already youc an see the mess of cables.

2. Once the hdd's have been unscrewed and taken out... OMG! Look at all that dust!

3. and that casing floor! Dust and dirt everywhere!

4. Hehe, my Radeon 9800SE with stock cooler. The damn thing that got me introduced to RojakPOt.com in the first place

You should do this more often than once in a year.

Default My LANPARTY Rig Part II

So, after doing my best to clean up the muck that was breeding in my casing, I proceeded to arrange the cables, and did what i could to arrange everything.

In went the sound card, sorted out all the cable splitters and what not. Unfortunately, i dont have any zip ties. So the mess isnt exactly cleaned up, but at least 'better coordinated'

1. IN the midst of tyring to re-arrange the cables and wiring. At least the floor of the casing is nice and clean now.

Pics 2 & 3. The end Product! Lighted up and raring to go

Determined now to not open that case till something worthwhile comes. Like that 6800GT
