That's a "work of art" imo... no joke!

It is DEFINITELY in the top 1-3 of neatness here, & that's NO small accomplishment imo @ least (you've got an entire field of competition here in the case mod gallery to compete w/ no less & imo, they're QUITE "stiff competition").



* See above photo, & this quote of Darth Vader:

"IMPRESSIVE... most impressive!"

APK

P.S.=> What impressed me the MOST was the sheer lack of hanging floppydisk/hdd/Cd-Dvd cabling visible...!

It initially looked to me as if you hadn't even PUT disks into it yet, it was SO neatly done & hidden on the cabling!

Then I looked close & saw them near the bottom with nearly NO trace of cabling visible (which I find difficult to hide to say the least)...

Also, the lack of power cables... I have to ask: Is this thing FULLY "hooked up" yet, or are we looking @ only the beginnings? It seems SO "clean" internally & free of mess from wires & what-not, I have to ask it... apk

thats is one of the best wiring jobs i've ever seen, also from what I can tell it looks fully hooked up, 2 sata cables 1 hdd and 1 optical drive (plextor those damn things are so overpriced), I can see the 24pin and 8 pin and 4 pin connectors that plug into the mobo. Wiring is hard at the best of times. The job you've done here deserves a medal lol.

Alec§taar if you look about half way up on the right side the big blue cable is the 24 pin and just above that a 4 pin molex and in top left corner you can see the two 4 pin plugs that connect together to make the required 8 pin power connector. The 2 sata cables are easy to spot and just to the left of the sata cables at the bottom are the power switch and led etc cables. Think thats everything, seems fully hooked up to me.

Not I, that's for certain - it's a "Clean Machine"...

:)

(I haven't rated anyone's here on the forums, yet/ever! Not until I get a larger overall sampling, but I know what I've seen thusfar & have a decent idea, but will wait!)

Someone rated my system at 1 too, I know mine is not so clean, but I don't think it deserves a one, and certainly yours doesn't deserve it either, yours is much more cleaner than mine, I rated it at 8

People never FAIL to amaze...

See subject-line/title above, & the comment below:

Sometimes, folks amaze me is all!

Mainly because I don't see how this system wiring job alone would merit a 1 rating!

:(



* Anyhow - Your system photo I posted in my LAST posting in this thread & now here above?

WELL: It made my gallery of photos here on my disks, as an example for ME to follow, it is THAT good imo...

THAT neat/clean!

Absolutely, & now that I think about it?? W/out par, even here on the galleries of your competition!

APK

P.S.=> In fact, now that I think about it? So neat, that I would rate it a 1... #1, in that category specifically & a TOP rating of 10 or whatever it is (wiring neatness)!

Don't let some jealous dork drag you down man!

Hey - your work is awesome, imo @ least!

Fact is, it may be the VERY FIRST ONE I rate here in fact (yea, great honor I know, lol... but, point IS there!)

Kudos/congratulations by all means! apk

Amazing, that wiring is really top-notch; 9/10 from me because of the neatness.

How did you get the SATA and power cable(s) to go under the motherboard? I’m just about to transfer my components from an Antec Sonata to a Cooler Master Praetorian 732, and would love to achieve some neatness. Got a Hiper Type R modular PSU which will help, but there are still plenty of cables I’d like to hide.

Yea dude. Did you route the cables then put in the mobo, or is there enough room to route them behind the mobo when screwed in?
