Route as many cables as you can behind the motherboard tray that's pretty much what that space is designed for : ]

Other then that look for holes to route wires, or cubby holes to hide wires your not using.

I'm afraid the pictures are not really clear enough for me to give you specific advise E.G x wire goes here etc.

Your case actually looks rather good for cable management seems to have lots of holes!

Should be a pretty easy job if you take your time.

Just do one cable at a time so you can focus on making that one cable as tidy as possible, then move to the next.

I tend to start with the 4/8 pin connector or the 24pin connector .

Ahh you'd be better of sleeving individual cables as they'll take be taking up less space so you can route them much easier, for example that cable I mentioned could be let underneath the motherboard its self :D

For sticky tape to hold it down in the right places under the motherboard tray after all your not going to see the tape through the mobo.

That is if you want it look even tidier.

No problem less cable cluttered means greater air flow =s cooler components = longer life for your system : ]

That is not how you sleeve cables.

Cable sleeves should be clean and flush with the wires contained in the sleeves. Here's a few examples of stellar cable sleeves and management.

Look on your computer for Catalyst control centre.

It can often be found in the notifcation area of the task bar too ( the ickle tiny icons )

Happy for you! Anyways, if I were you, I'd not give a damn what people think of my pc, as long as you love your lil baby, feeding it with love (all your fans and other stuff etc) who cares? Point is, its not up to others to judge your work, as long as you are happy with your results, so be it. ;)

Good Job Calibre. I really like you case but you could try hide a few more wires. It really depends if you have room behind the motherboard tray. Some cases are easier than others. It looks like you already have some holes. Maybe you can run the 24 pin lead and 8 pin lead behind the motherboard tray if you have enough room there.

Or you could get a corsair case that has excellent design for cable management. Also you can buy power lead extensions for your PSU leads if they are too short.

Either way your case looks great as it is. Well done man

Hey Calibre,

If your cables are too short you can get extensions like this:

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=19_183&products_id=2802


This is the new Corsair Obsidian:

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_961&products_id=12727


Its not cheap but the best case for cable management.

Anyhow your case looks good man dont bother buying a new case, just maybe get some extension cables and hide a few more wires.

Thats an Australian website but im sure you have them in SA.
