Yes, proper cable management will improve airflow and does lead to cooler temperatures. But the advantages of super neat cable management is overstated, and won't lead to huge temperature differences... if at all.
Cable management was important several years ago when IDE ribbon cables were still the popular choice to hookup hard drives and optical drives. If you didn't have a round IDE cable, then you had to route the ribbon cables around to maintain proper airflow. Now SATA cables are the norm, and cases come with more (and larger) fans than ever. So long as you don't have a wad of cables from your PSU in the middle of the case, you don't have to worry about cable management.
If you do want to do, do it for aesthetics or your pride (some take pride in this stuff). I've done it in the past, but lately I rather have my cables slightly messy, as it becomes more of a pain in the ass if you want to upgrade and all the cables are zip tied and tucked away.

I'm quite happy with mine, it's very well made. Actually drinking out of it isn't ideal though, the mug is quite thick, but I've chugged a few beers with it already!TommyT said:I DID NOT BUY THIS (yet)... so here's a stock photo from where it's available:

Gotta host it somewhere. Imgur (or whatever it is) seems the be the popular one. I was letting people know it's available again. I haven't picked it up so I don't see an issue with using the stock picture to let people know what item is available for them to buy. If I said "look at what I bought" then posted that pic, you could cry foul
*avatar quote of yourself here* ;D

It is most definitely the best computer I've ever owned, and I haven't even installed Windows yet (about to do a clean install)! It is so light, beautifully built, I love it.Alucrid said:

Also snagged a ton of PS1 and PS2 games in a set of ebay auctions at the end of April, but I already have them on my game shelf and I am too lazy to take them back down for photos. Almost 40 games in that lot so I probably will not bother unless I get bugged for pictures.

I'd say sorry for the size.

Oh, nomnomnom.. Lenovos are so hot. I have a old and cheap one (N200 something) but it chugging along.. while my workmates much newer HP laptops crashes one after another.
The more expensive VAIOs and most of the Lenovos are probably the only laptops I would consider owning.

He wasn't alone.
$40 dollar + 10 back Toysrus deal.
Got Motorstorm Apocalypse and Heavy Rain from Shopto. I got the Move Edition of Heavy Rain because it was the cheapest. Really enjoying both of these.
This next pick up is what I'm most excited about though. My brother and I run a 24hr vehicle breakdown and recovery company, and we just got our new truck delivered at the end of last week. It's the first one we own outright, the other two we have are lease hire. It was actually bought in March, but Thursday was it's first day with us because it had a full refurb and paint job. It's a 2001 7.5 ton Mercedes Vario, it's done 460,000km and it drives like the day it left the factory.

I thought for a minute that said Heavy Rain Movie Edition. I wouldn't have been surprised if that actually existed.hobdal said:Got Motorstorm Apocalypse and Heavy Rain from Shopto. I got the Move Edition of Heavy Rain because it was the cheapest. Really enjoying both of these.

Yes, very much. Coming from an Acer 3810T with a 1.4GHz SU9400 and an Acer 1830T with a 1.2GHz i5-430UM, this absolutely flies compared to them. Programs install quick as hell, everything is just fast since before I used ULV laptops.Alucrid said:
