What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

[RyaNtheSlayA]

Frown: I was wrong. Work blows today.

Frown: Essentially spent my whole afternoon rebuilding my computer for no damn reason. And I still suck at cable management, does anyone have handy tips/a guide for that?

Smile: Newly cleaned, dust-free, and with a properly mounted CPU cooler (it was coasting on a half bottle of Arctic Silver before), I think it's primed for overclocking.

Frown: Google is popping up security certificate errors now

: Going to the Zelda concert this weekend

: Still haven't been paid for May...I wonder if they're just going to shove the missing amount on the check for June

Cable ties? I also sometimes route cables under the motherboard's back edge, underneath the fans. But cable ties make things neater.

Frown: It's a black thing.

Yeah, that. I used those on a PSU upgrade a few years ago and before that the cables were rubbing against the processor fan but using those kept everything much neater and less cluttered.

What case? Get friendly with ties and shrink tubing. It's totally worth the extra effort. Most overclocking/case enthusiasts recommend dremeling...I do not. I've had more success and fewer errors with a hole saw.

: At Goodwill, I saw 20+ CIB GBA games, all in a row!

: On closer inspection, every single one was crap. Horsez, Dogz, Pac-Man World 2, Dukes of Hazzard.

: On a different shelf, they had the GBA port of the original LoZ NIB, but they wanted $50 for it... pass.

Smile: I received an invite to attend a Wii U session at the Nintendo room next to the Comic Con.

Frown: Responded yesterday evening, still no confirmation answer.

It's an Antec 900. Great for cooling, abysmal for cable management.

I'm confident that the cables are in an even worse state than they were before. Yo u can barely tell, but there's 2 0-shaped holes punched into the steel on the back wall, about 1 inch apart... And that's it. So I mostly just tried to shove them in my empty drive bays if they couldn't be threaded through those holes, to mixed results.
