Hey what case is that your using??? thanks

@MultiJosh2k9 Mine was called a "CiT MATX HTPC" but as CiT isn't very well known, you'll often find it named as "value" or under the shop's name like "overclockers basic htpc" or whatever. Not that mine was bought from overclockers btw.

I think I would of attached the wires to the motherboard before I put in the display card but, it all worked out in the end. Nice job you still did excellent wire management from what I could see.

@robinkwallace Yeah; second time round I'd build most of my computers differently but it all worked out in the end. Thanks for watching :)

@MrNevakonaza Pendulum - Hold your Colour

The PSU has been a good'un without any issues. Most cheapo PSUs are of good build quality and will last as long as a Corsair or Arctic etc. Don't believe people when they say you should always buy quality PSUs, 95% of the time you'll have no issues with cheap-jack ones.
