I can not wait to get pics tomorrow after I am done.
You can see the wiring jungle in the 2nd pic above.
I am replacing the ATA cables too for the PATA hard drive and the two DVD burners with UV green round ones.
Also the floppy drive gets one too.
But Newegg messed up, they sent me a yellow one.
Oh well, I will replace it later with a green one.
All the cables will be neatly tied, and the PSU cables are all pre sheathed, and I will tie them back too.
I am gonna take out that monster dual fan though that blows all over the mobo.
The new PSU has a single fan only, and it is huge, and it should be quiet.
This should make my PC a lot quieter.
It is quite loud now with all the fans.

Forgot to add the pics of the update last weekend.
Brand new 500 watt power supply and 160 GB SATA hard drive.
I like how the cables on the new PSU are all sheathed, makes for a cleaner look.
I also added the green round cables too.
Increases air flow in the case, and easier to tuck away.

Decorated and designer computers 
you guys sure are a bunch of nerds! 
I got a DELL 8200 Inspiron (loaded to the gills with a big fat Marlin Crawler sticker on the top outside), an old GATEWAY desktop 400MHz machine for the boys and the wife (it does all they want and need to do), and DELL desktop equivalent to my Inspiron 8200 at work (don't remember all the lingo for what it is called).
My first computer, before many of you were born...a TRASH 80...16 bit extended basic color w/ a cassette tape drive...I was chilling I was so cool.
Heck, I can remember registering for college using PUNCH CARDS.
