Cable Management Helpdesk

It was just a few threads down from this thread actually. :D That's where I recommend you start posting. Follow the instructions in the primary post w/pics and ask TK for help, he'll help you do an excellent job with cable management. Though you will be limited due to the fact you got a lanbox...

Best of luck to ya! :toast:

If anyone can get you some CM in that box it will be TK. I like the Apevia brand, I still have an Aspire (before they were called Apevia) X-Cruiser, great case. Best of luck to ya!

no i got the most basic cooler possible. stock it keeps it at 25c and put .012 volts on the cpu and it was at like 28c. but that artic cooling cooler...looks a lot better than stock, and its cheap. also its between these two cards probably the ati though

also i think im going to go with green interior. a few laser lights under the front bezel, and maybe some small 4inch cathodes. I also have these cool metal eagles with the bottom end threaded, so im going to figure out a place to put those, and maybe do like a army/military theme....?

Just remember the more stuff you put in there, the more wires will have to be routed, hidden and managed, in a case with limited room..you may want to choose wisely between form and function.
