Just finished the LED mod of my case. Still need to get new LED fans. LED's on the bottom and top, and also modded the dvd rw's LED, changed it to blue and put LED's in the dvd rw (thanks DJV). Oh yes, and sleeved my psu's cables. Couldn't sleep from 04h00 this morning, so I started sleeving.

Nice work Just do something with those SATA cables

lol, yes those sata cables actualy look like big telephone cables. How about some advise on them?

Take them through a hole behind the motherboard. That'll hide them nicely. If there isn't a hole in the case exactly where the cables plug into the motherboard, cut one yourself

On that point... It would be awesome if mobo designers makes a mobo with all these connection slots melded to the board on the other side - i.e. everything you have to plug into the board that is a cable, now slots into the rear/underside, resulting in an almost cable-less design.

That would be freaking amazing. I remember Samaya had a fantastic idea a few years ago of doing a mod where you actually remove the connectors from the PSU and physically solder the wires onto the back of the motherboard where the pins are. Amazing idea.

Did that idea come to life? Would like to see a pic of that.

Nope, that never happened. But there's nothing stopping YOU from doing it

If I didn't love beautiful cables so much, I'd probably do it, but alas

Nope,I'll Leave it to the pro's, I'll just kill my mobo. Or maybe I could take one of my old p3 boards and try it.....
