case wiring

[abstractposer]

i have had my computer set up for awhile. when i put it together i really didn't care how it was hooked up. i have a see through case and now want to hide the cables from the PSU. my big question is how can i hide my cables in my case and where to hide them. i want it to look as neat as possible and right now it looks sloppy

Take some pictures, we'll see what we can do.

To give you an idea of what this will probly entail, it'll be a matter of cable sleeving (HUGE help, especially if the PSU cables don't come pre-sleeved), using zip-ties to bundle them, and trying to zip-tie them up out of the way.

Don't get discouraged looking at the pictures of other people's cases. Most folks Dremel extra holes in the case's chassis to route cables behind the motherboard tray (which you may not be willing to do), and most folks have been doing this kind of thing for years. It takes a few build/breakdown cycles to learn how to make everything super-pretty, but spending a few hours on it wil almost certainly yield pleasing results.

+1 very well put

Or you can get the P182 for the same effect. (shameless plug)

Just try to bundle wires together with zip ties. And also make sure your wires aren't tangled, as that'll just complicated things. You might have to disconnect all the cables and start from scratch.
