Cable management help.

JrRacinFan · Aug 26, 2009, 02:21 AM

Ok after much very very constructive criticism in the "Your PC ATM" thread. I decided this would be the best way rather than going off-topic in that thread.

Be aware I have attempted to hide the mains connector behind the mobo tray. It didnt work out too well, my PSU's short circuit protection kicks in everytime I reattach the side panel. So I just hid it behind the res.

I have a cathode hidden beside the 5.25" bays and alot of the modular wiring is zip tied to the hard drives along with my IDE cable (I really should get an adapter).

Where should I go from here WITHOUT heavily modding the case?

Oh and here is the few constructive comments:

Jr, the rig is looking sweet! I say, for the covering of the whole "rocketfish" case.. Sheet Metal from Home Depot/lowes.. I think I got about 12f for 7 bucks..

use modders mesh to make a channel for it?

Sometimes Jr, in the open and neatly tied can look slick as well.

I see a couple easy things you could do, but without a dremmel, the bulk of the PSU wiring is tough to hide.

Please?

Shaun, do you have any holes in the mobo tray? If so making some will help tremendously!

Trying to avoid it, but albeit, if it needs done.

it shouldn't be that hard bro, make one right by where the PSU cables are so they can exit towards the back and then make one for like the 24pin and the sata cables, you might want to make one towards the bottom maybe for the USB headers and power button/reset wires. What do you think?
