Default God Damn, its tidy now!

After some inpiration from Here I decided to have a go at it.

So I started off by taking all my cables out, broke the wires from the case speaker (Thank god for soldering irons ) then pulled them all through the back. Now i cant hide them directly behind the side panel, there no room there, so they are hidden behind the HDD rack.

Now, Before:

Drumroll please.... After!


Quite the difference!

Heres a better pic without the side panel:


Oh, and when I said I didnt have room to put them behind the other side panel, heres what it looks like where I put the cables.....


Quite the mess (Cant see it anyway lol)

So, after 3 hard hours of cable tiding (Most of that spent trying tosort the speaker ), heres my system:


So, what do yall think?

BTW, my Mobo used to idle at 42C (Just heatsinks, no fans, quiet but hot)
Now, 34C! Ah, the power of cable tiding!

Dude. Thats a nice job! You have inspired me (I'm serious here!) to do a better job with my wiring. I would show you my current pc wire problem, but I would probably be banned for abuse to my computer

Anywayz, when I get my new computer I'm going to do a job like yours! Hopefully my case will have some room behind the panel... What cases do you guys recommend anyways? I know a lot of ya'll like the Tsunami's, but any others?
