I spent a little time wiring stuff before my PSU comes in the mail tomorrow. Tell me what you think. If you have any suggestions then please share them. Thank you!

Looks nice. My personal preference, but the IDE cable pulls aren't necessary, and they look cheap, I cut mine off.

As well, the Red SATA cable sticks out like a sore thumb. You could, wrap it with the ribbed stuff?

I've been thinking about doing that, actually thanks for the suggestion. (a minute later.... *snip, snip*)
 
If only my case was as clean.

Also, looking to the left of your CPU heatsink, it looks like you've left a 24-pin power cables out.
 
Ahh the P180 case. First I was wondering where the PSU was, then I was wondering where the PSU goes!! Then I realized :D NIce job with the wires, see if you can run some of the psu wires underneith the motherboard.
 
The wiring Looks good,

However the back of your graphics card looks just a tad bit dusty!

Inside my case is a mess:D Wiring everywhere but i dont care as long as its not in the way of my Heatsink fan.
 
with that P180 your gonna have to bring the 24pin connectors (et al) up from the bottom, and weave it past those gpu's... that could be messy :(

The power sockets look like they're in an awkward place when you're aiming for a really neat case.

Yes they are, but I'm going to figure something out. When there is will there is a way.

I've been considering that. Does anybody know if the bottom of the motherboard gets very hot due to things on top of it? (CPU for example)

Again, when there is a will there is a way. I will post another pic when I get the PSU in. It's coming in the mail later today. It's the X2 Connect so the flat cables should be easy to put under the motherboard.

Enjoy your X2 :D Does yours have the UV window or not? I got mine on sale, but though the rebate deadline was a day later than it was, so I had to pay $105 for it..

While the bottom of the motherboard probably gets hot, your cables shouldn't be bad back there. I know plenty of people who have their cables behind their motherboard.

Ya it has a window with blue LED lights. Mine had a $30 rebate too. I bought it the day before the sale was over, now I have to send the rebate in within 30 days.

I had my cables run underneath the motherboard tray, it worked fine.

I don't have a motherboard tray though, so the cables would have to be directly under the mobo.
