Guest Blink_182_fan Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 I recently had to take my computer case off to install a fan and i took a picture. The main reason im starting this topic is becuase the inside of my computer is a mess and i wanted advice to tidy it up and also to see other peoples computers. I'd just like to say if you havnt done this before be carefull because you can easily knock wires out or damage components in your computer.

Sir Radfordin Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 hmmm...that fan at the bottom (yes the one with the fancy lights!) is either going to be doing very little, or could actually making things worse. Sat that close to the carpet if its sucking air in then you will get a lot of dust, and if blowing out then its not really got enough room to be effective.Its only really the IDE cables that need tidying - best thing is to pull 'em out and see how else you can route them.

andsome Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 The whole of the area inside my computer is forbidden territory as far as I'm concerned. Any bother and I'm off up the road to the shop that built it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
