You need to change the CPU cooler so its facing the right direction dudeI have the model up from that one and they suck (i mean they pull air in - they are actually awesome). So put it so the fan is facing downwards so the air is push pushed straight out the top 20cm fan
Its in the right correction isnt it?
Maybe you guys can help me out with a little problem I like to call.... well, I don't think they have a name for this sort of thing:
What on earth can a possibly do about this? I am open to the complete rearrangement of the case in any way that it can be done if necessary.
(I feel I should mention - I no longer have the heatsink mounted in that direction, and nor do I have the fans hanging off it by bread twisty things.)

Yeah, it is now!
Notice any difference in temps, once you'd moved it?
yeah its cooler
Not modular.
Planned to buy an Antec TruePower Quattro because the fan is on the back so I could mount it right way up and better manage the cables behind the tray. But that most likely won't happen for awhile.
I think the biggest source of the the mess is the 4 or 5 SATA cables? What can I do about that? I thought perhaps I could move the bottom HDD tray to the top, and then route all of the SATA cables through the standard tray holes. Same with the powersupply cables to the drives and the big MB one.

First, you should try to zip-tie everything. All the cables. That will make a huge difference. Also, utilize the black ties that are attached to the case between the mobo and the HD cage. Later, I'll remove my Ultra and show you a picture of how I tied everything up.
Yeah, I hear ya. Do you have the pre-cut hole in the case like lilnlnga? That would definitely help, too. I'll take some pics and post a little later.
Thanks for pics. The bottom of yours looks like mine - the rest is much better though.
What would you say to moving the bottom drive bay to the top, so that you can stretch out all the SATA and power cables and then put them through the holes as well? Do you think that might be effective?
Might be less haggard if the cables were stretched out and partially hidden behind tray.

Yeah, there's not a lot I can do with all those cables.
That's a good idea. Try it out and post some pics.
