cable arrangement

i was just wondering... you know the plate that the mobo is mounted onto? i have some cables running behind it, between the plate and the case wall. that isnt a bad idea, is it?

nope, not bad at all

as long as they are insulated and not carrying thousands of volts, you are good.

Yea, I do the same thing, you might think about getting some case round cables, and some loom to wrap the wires showing, and itll make your case look really good and clean

That is actually probabably the most common, and effective way to hide your cables. Stupid Aspire X-cruiser case, the mobo plate is so close to the case there is no room. So mine are all bundled behind the cd drives.

But ya there is absolutely no issue with that.
