    Hello Brothers ;) How it's going.. I hope fine.

    I was looking to people rigs and most of them are well done built and mine was a JOKE!

    So I spend around 10 Hours Cleaning and rebuilding it ;) So here how it looks like now, I'm so happy :rock:

    Neat cabling rocks! Well done.

    I can't wait to get rid of my crappy IDE optical drives so I can finally lose that ship's anchor rope that connects them. Mine is neat, but without the IDE cable it would be anally neat.

    Nice job there CK. I always find the problem with builds is you get everything together and working then think hmmmm ... If I take it all apart again I can make it pretty!

    Just spent loads of time turning mine from a web of cables into something I'm far happier with. Damn these clear panels !!!!

    Well done fella.

    Very nice and tidy man. I never usually use cable ties, but I might start now.

    Not sure if there is enough room, but could you have the hard drives the other way round so the cables connect at the back?

    Buddy, Cable Ties RULE! I bought alot of them all sizes :)

    I thought on that before but it's not possible.. The plugs will stop the side panel to close..

    Thanks for your idea man :rock: All Respect :clap: Take care

    After that I've even added a Xonar (above the video card) which needs a floppy cable! :waah:

    I remember that CPU magazine once had a featured case mod where the modder built his own transparent acrylic case, and yet still managed to make it seem like there were no cables in the case at all. Can't find it online though.. That guy deserves props!

    CK, your build wasn't too bad to begin with, but nice job improving your airflow. :clap:

    That's a very nice effort for first try! And the case doesn't really seem to have any fancy cable managing features, that make cleaning the cables so much easier...

    One idea though: you could bunch those S-ATA-cables more neatly. Just place them neatly on top of each other in the HDD-end, and cable tie, or tape them together.

    Here's mine BTW. Should get an extension cord for the motherboard power...
