If you need help managing your wires, post the following:
  • A picture of the motherboard w/side panel off
  • A picture of the 5.25" and 3.5" cages
  • A picture of the power supply area
  • A picture of front intake area
  • A picture of the backside of the motherboard tray (take the other side panel off)
  • An approximate measurement of how far between the side panel and the rear motherboard tray

I still much prefer wire loom for management. Really gives it that geeky sci-fi feel.

Thanks mate! Nice job on your cabling. How do you like those round cables? What cooler?

OK, yeah, mine isn't spectacular but it suits me well because:

a)none of the "mess" is visible with the panel on
b)I get kickass temps!!

Nothing special, but it started as a cheapy $30 case so I'm satisfied...I did the paint, blowhole, wire management, and some other stuff.
Very nice and neat! Nice paint job and a great use of the mobo mounting plate to hide the cables.
