Re: My silent systems

Unused cables can be a mess and a good bed for dust. Thats why I like modular PSU's. That might be so, but the front/top/bottom dust filters mostly alleviate this problem (unless you don't open the case for years). The front ones are quite thick on the Rebel9. I can't really do anything about the p...
