Sending off my GTX 275 for RMA so I have my 8600GT in the primary cause I dont want to remove and reinstall my 8800GTS when the new 275 comes. Oh, and that stray wire is from the side panel fan, there is no way to hide it :D

I'll post a better pic later- maybe in the PC ATM thread.

look'in good:toast:

I read the whole thread and I have seen people with excellent results here.
It is clear that c/m needs a lot of creativity and patience.
If case doesn't help to c/m, like mine, without modding, then more patience and creativity are needed but sometimes there is not much to do.
I took some tips and I think this the best I can do for the moment.
I want to buy a GTX460, so I'll post new pics then.
I think of taking out the 80mm blue fan at center because it doesn't help too much to air flow and its cables just bother.
That dark stain is wierd, it seems burned metal but only appears in pictures not at glance. :laugh:
Sorry for the dirt, I will clean it later with blower and brush, I'm lazy now.

Wow, you cleaned up the cables rather well considering your case doesn't provide and c/m options.:toast: If it is possible for you to cut any holes in the mobo tray would greatly improve your c/m, but if not then your case still looks pretty tidy.

Here is a shot of my current rigs after my last c/m jobs.

Looks like you should be able to tie all those cables on the bottom and stuff them behind the psu. That would be a quick fix too make your case look cleaner for pics.;) Also the wires for your usb/power reset buttons can (tucked) run behind the mobo straight to the bottom and behind the psu as well, if their long enough of course.

Between the PSU and the far side of the case is already filled with cables. I'll see what could be stuffed under it though :)
The power/reset wires aren't long enough to do anything with ATM :(

If I were to go back to using the sunbeam case how would you guys deal with the wires coming out of the PSU?

I come seeking advice:

I'm pretty happy with everything except the corner 'circled' in red:

The bundle of cables at the bottom doesn't really bother me, nor does the group going from the PSU up to the drive bays and then branching out.

What can I do to make that corner look better (or anywhere else, for that matter)

In general, running the cables toward the back will help make it look cleaner. It looks like there is space behind to PSU - you could set the extra wires back there. I would also run the cables up the back, and maybe have the smaller cables behind the motherboard (if there's room).

What kind of case is that?

There's unfortunately no room for anything behind the motherboard or motherboard tray...I've already tried :ohwell:
I'll try putting some of the spare cables behind the PSU...there isn't a lot of space, but it might work. I had the PSU flipped at first, but there wasn't much space under it, and it was getting incredibly hot :(

Case is a Lian Li PC-A05S. It's one of the smallest ATX cases, and has support for up to 10.5" (maybe 11") video cards.

I've used tape in that area to stick cables to the ceiling of the case.

ION,

I think it's time to mod that case. Just make a nice hole to route cables to the back of the mobo tray. How much space is between the rear of the mobo tray and the back panel?

YOu'd be a lot better off with a modular power supply. Those A05s are AWESOME cases, but leave no room to hide for extra stuff.

That'll be happening later this year, I just don't have the money now :ohwell:
I've used tape in that area to stick cables to the ceiling of the case.
I'll try that, thanks!
ION,

I think it's time to mod that case. Just make a nice hole to route cables to the back of the mobo tray. How much space is between the rear of the mobo tray and the back panel?
Barely none, enough for a SATA cable and that's it. Even a 6pin power cable might not fit :(
YOu'd be a lot better off with a modular power supply. Those A05s are AWESOME cases, but leave no room to hide for extra stuff.

Already have one ;)

But it has 7 fixed cables (4 PCIe, 2 CPU, 1 main), 3 of which are unused. I'm only using 1 modular cable (a SATA)

with that many fixed cables beats me how they can get away with calling it Modular:shadedshu ... My SilverStone ST75F-P is truly modular all the cables are plug in

anywho that doesn't help you I know so what sort of case will you be looking at getting

I fully knew that it wasn't completely modular....but I had no idea how un-modular it is. It has almost twice as many non-modular vs modular cables (7 vs 4) :shadedshu

I'm planning on a CM690/2 or a Centurion 590...might spring for the HAF 922 Blue, it looks amazing IMO
