Cable management
Just wanted to post this, and get your thoughts on my cable management. I think this isn't such a bad cable management job.
You can save a lot of space by just turning the hdd's around, especially if they are SATA drives.
I got the orange inspiration from a pc I saw on the web somewere,I think it was at mnptech.com,a Harly Davidson case.
I'm still busy with the sidepanel.I've got a 120mm fan at the front and a 80mm at the back.

Re: Cable management
Looks FAR better than my pc's state .Looks nice and clean
Re: Cable management
I like it
Suggestion, if I may - take the power cable for the rear 120 and the connector, and put them behind the mobo tray (even if this means lengthening the cables) - will be a fair bit neater like that.
Other than that, I like

Re: Cable management
Put it behind the motherboard tray, that way it will be invisible.

Re: Cable management
Dude your cables are really neat and tucked away i like the way you turned the HDD around to hid the cables. GOOD JOB!!!
i tried with my case and here is my attempt.

Re: Cable management
errr Reece, I am seeing a lot of loose cables? Turn your HDD's around front-to-rear. What's going on between your procc and the power supply? Ribbon cable? Do they even still manufacture that?

Reece, Please start a new thread rather than hijacking someone else's, you are welcome to give your oppinions on the other guys mod and link to your thread but its usually considered really impolite to post pictures of your own mod in someone elses thread
Get yourself a piece of black plastic or alu to hide the PSU cables as they come out between the psu and CD rom racks.
