Recently, I bought a new computer case, because I got mad with my old one.
I have 5 hard disks, though they are not with big capacity, I don’t want threw them to the rubbish bin. I also have a 400watt PSU. When I connected all the cables to the motherboard and my drives, I could not distinguish the relation of them.

I got this case from internet, and the coming contents will tell you how to manage the cables in your computer case.
I am going to display my operation of the cable-management :toast:

Here is the top view


Side view


Accessories. With the brash, I could clean my P35 motherboard that I had used for 2 years.


Here are the screw-free HDD drives. I bought this case because it could settle my hard disks problem.




The anti-dust meshes on the top, it could add two 140 fans


The other side of the case, cable management holes


Belowing is the picture of my HDDs


And here is my PSU


Motherboard and PSU were installed, did I install right of the PSU, I thought I install the wrong side :twitch:


I used the cable tier which provided in the accessories to tie up the cables together, and the cables cross the management hole on the bottom.


After the installation, it seemed very complicated in the other side. You can imagine what was the sight of my old case.


4 SATA HDD, I IDE HDD + 1 eSATA cable connected.


Final installation has been done.Don’t curious of my graphics card, I am not a game enthusiast


At last, I would like to show the partitions in my OS. LOL :D

Nice case
Cable management looks clean but at least the messy part is hidden behind drive bays;)
I personally use cable ties for each cable individually to make them look shorter and then using another cable tie, tie them all together

I would add a fan or 3 in there. Even if the front has a fan in there, you essentially blocked it by filling all the HDD trays.

from the hole next to power and reset pins, it looks less neat, maybe you could tie it and zip it then hide it so it wont appear from the cable management hole ;)
by the way from the way you organize it it looks you go pretty hard on it :D
nice working :toast:
