Your wiring looks messy indeed. The wires can get into the way of the fans (CPU and Graphics card). I keep them very tight with wire ties. Should a wire stop a fan, your system will stop.

i'd say start again once you go to install the GTX260...... it wont fit currently, due to your HDD's position, & the card has a vent on the front end which needs to be free of obstructions...

that rig needs some work before you drop your new card in there, take the new GFX card as a message from above telling you to rewire..

Hi Nick,

I would say get some plastic cable ties and flex tubing to use to organize and help straighten that cabling up for you. You can try to run and tie the cables along the edges to allow for the maximum airflow.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks for the advice ill try my best, I really do have to re-do the wiring because im straining it,

My next stop is Home hardware.

Skunk, I already noticed that when I put it in xD I moved my hard drive down to the bottom, and it pretty much met the hard drive bay, but I got it going and its a big improvement from the 8800GS alpha dog edition.
