. Anyways, if you want the cables to look neat, try running them in right angles and on a plane.

i didnt have to buy them,i got them of my cousin for next to nothing so i cant realy complain.

I routed my HDD and cathode power cables through the front of my case which made a big difference. Since the above photos, I've also sleeved my exposed cables with black braid which also helped. Good luck to you!

that looks rather sexy well done!
the problem is you guys have quite alot of cable to play with where my cables just about reach where they have to go

i dont want to buy another Psu.

hahaha ramodkk love the artwork...tks

Is that a small mobo or really big case....LOL. Add some sleeving on those wires. It will help a bunch.

Love the artwork!

Haha Thanks!

Oh yeah SIMP btw, I see you're on Techpowerup's Mods section

I'm going to be re-doing mine soon, so I'll get some pictures for you!
Just try and group everthing together, best you can!

SIMP - tight display - very nice

Rounded IDE cables are wonderful, and a PSU with long wires is a a godsend (I still need a new PSU - my wires are like little stubs

)

Asisde from that, yeah, what Korn said - carefully cut up/zip tie the IDE ribbon with a razor or scalpel; group cables whenever possible. Don't be afraid to cut the 'OEM' zip ties on the PSU wires either to remove un-needed runs from the group.

Okay, I want you to be happy with your setup because I know how it feels when you're not. I like the idea of cutting all of the OEM ties and then grouping the ones you don't need apart from the ones you do. The ones you don't need, see if you can wrap them behind to the back of the mobo tray and tape them there. The ones you do need, route them as efficiently as possible. You may can tape a portion of them behind the mobo tray and only leave the necessary portion showing. Then sleeve those babies.

These are only my opinions/ideas that may help you. Good luck and please post more pics to show your progress.

SIMP, you rig looks awesome, You've done a great job!

Shane, I wouldn't worry about it too much, you'll be able to pull off something good! Don't worry!

I've just re-done my case, you inspired me, I'll get the pics up in a minute...

EDIT:

Thanks Korn. By the way, just letting you know....I'm stealing your idea and I'm going to add a green fan in my case. I love that green and blue mix. Sweet setup!!

No problem! Haha! Cool, it does look really good when you see it in person. I actually have all Blue fans, and two 12" Green Cathodes.
