battlestation viewpowered on view showing the custom extensions i made for him last year 🙂another view of the case, showing two noctua intake fans.cable management gets messy when theres sata drives, and he has three of themexceptionally good processor, installed in a 7 year old motherboard.this is the uptick in performance from a 3900x to a 5700x3d

Looks great! 👍

I don't know why cable management bothers some, but it shouldn't. Who cares. If anyone opens the back of your case and starts talking about your cable management:

1. Smack them upside their heads

2. Ask them to put the cover back on and get the **** out!

3. Tell them to look out for the door hitting them in the *** on their way out.

What do they want them to do with extensions and a non modular power supply anyway? Considering all that, it's actually pretty clean.

The rig itself is very sober looking with a touch of RGB.

Looks clean n sooper dooper to me too... 

I agree with @eebiii on the cable wiring, no ones ever gonna see the side with the mobo... I wouldn't worry about it at all!!

IT'S A GUNDAM

he has three different gundams to build right now! i have one, and a model of uss voyager to paint. need paint though 😞

He's a lucky guy.  I'm surprised at the significant increase in performance from the lower-clocked 8-core vs 12-core processor.  I guess that extra cache memory does the trick.
