take it off and use a black marker pen on it then put it back on it wont stand out so much then but other than that it looks good ... you might want to look into some nice cable extensions for the PCIe 6pin and power cables that may help with the stiff cable from your PSU

i can use the old flex force cables that came with my altru 3x 1000 watt psu they bend a lot better then these new ones. the only problem is the 24 pin one is flat like a ribbon and may not rout behind the mobo tray as easy. using a black marker on that white ribbon is a good idea.

Absolutely awful, worst job ive ever seen...

I mean a yellow sata cable seeerrrriously?

d1nky · May 7, 2013, 09:22 AM

wow I never knew this thread existed. I got a problem for my build and need advice.

ive flipped my psu up the other way, and now there is no space for cables between mobo and psu.

ddd said about clips, so that's an option. I may even just lose the cables and start from mobo lol

You could cable tie them together, real thin cable ties so they don't stick out like a sore thumb, so that it just looks like one cable running neatly along the bottom of the mobo?

cable ties mate and tie that kangaroo down

micropage7 · May 14, 2013, 03:22 AM

tie everything tight and put the rest of cables in 5,25 inch bay
run fan cable behind motherboard

Widjaja · May 14, 2013, 04:15 AM

If the fan is not a cheapo 4-pin molex only job, he has a fan header on the motherboard he can connect it to.

Either way these cases were designed before people cared much about what their computers looked like on the inside.
