    Hi there,

    I have a non-modular PSU hence quite a lot of cabling snaking around between the PSU and hard drives in my Antec 300.

    There is a small recess next to the hard drive bays however I'm not certain about forcing the cables in there. They don't seem to be impeding airflow however I'd like things to be tidier if possible.

    Has anyone got any photos of the insides of their 300 to assist?

    Many thanks!

    Cleggy.

    just tidy the cables anywhere u can that does not impede airflow and not next to HDD as that would impede cooling alittle

    not got pics but i tidied a 300 by using cable ties to bunch up my spares and then cable fixed them to the 5.25 in bays below my DVD writer.

    I am planning to install a Titan Fenrir in the future so any advice on tidying would be helpful when I next get inside it.

    I'm not familiar with the 300, does it not let you route cables behind the motherboard tray?

    I just tucked them in the side next to the hard drives and secured them with the supplied cable ties. Hopefully this pic will work. I have tidied it up a little since then.
