Show us your backside!

I'll start. No judgement here. I just like to see the guts of things. Don't be shy. We've all seen worse.

Haha mine probably looks like a dirty poodle with a mole under the cheek.

But now I see you meant a case.. not gonna lie.. I got a bit lazy.. only because I could. I ran a loaded Torrent Compact for like 2 years, you had to be fastidious with you're cabling.

I will be back with an edit..

This is my torrent compact (with 5800x) and yes, it is much tighter than the full-size torrent.

Dude.. I even had 3 SSD on the backside.. what a pita to cable. Took me like 3 hours.. but that is with Youtube and herbs in the mix..

I do not miss PATA and FD cables.. forget it. I think I still have my fancy one with a blue wire that lights up.. all fancy like that

Come on Lads and Lasses. Don't be bashful.

I still have a few of the round ones. I don't miss ribbon cables either.

Showing my backside with a few Tau on top; for the Greater Good.

This case is effin amazing. Cable management what? Everything just naturally ends up where it should; all in one corner behind the GPU, even the built in power cable (white, topside) is there to declutter it all.

Sorry, but I don't show my backside to strangers on the internet, hahahahaha

However, if you REALLY wanna see the backside of my mini-me box, you should be prepared to be somewhat underwhelmed, as there isn't much to see there....

Mindweaver · Friday at 1:09 PM

Man, you guys are really going to make me pull my case out.. haha So far the backsides are looking good! Errr clean!

In PC terms its like asking for a 'private' pic but hey I've been around for long enough to not care. :laugh:

I'm in the process of my usual spring room cleaning and wanted to open up my PC anyway.

My PC's back is facing my window so I've had to turn it sideways to take a pic.
Its kind of meh but personally I'm cool with it as long as it fits and non of the cables or connectors are over stressed so I leave everything a bit loose if possible. 'I do care about the front part a lot more since its always visible'

I was wondering, whats the purpose of that piece of wood in the case? :laugh:

1. Buy a PC case with an HDD mounting system.
2. Buy a PSU that doesn't fit because of the aforementioned system.
3. Rip this system off.
4. Realize it's no longer sturdy and waddles.
5. ????????
6. Use a piece of wood to make it stable.

Alright that explains it, I guess thats one way to fix it. :laugh:

I mean, I have no welding equipment on hand... Had to make do.

Holy sh... I just realized I have a PC case like that for 1.5 years already. Time flies.

I used a Duplo brick on my last case. Cheapest most robust anti sag ever. Not recommended for backside applications though.
