Don't leave a bunch of cables there. Definitely block the airflow and your case is kinda small. Can add one more fan with filter at bottom for GPU, and if got extra can get expansion slot bracket that got holes to improve the airflow.

only a simple cable management from me

TJ07? I see what you did thar with your corsair RAM fan.

hehe to see solid and tight

u can still do much better than this, though i admit quite hard to manage it..im use 430

u mean they know how to manage it WELL! haha

I really wish can learn from them. Haha

Hey guys

Hows the cable management for Aerocool Stike x Advance? thinking of getting one.

Intel i5 2400
Asus 560Ti
CM GX 650W

is it okay ?

great help you are

@Mr.Ben for the Aerocool Stike x Advance has gromets that enable you to hide the cables very well behind the mobo tray.. however you only get 12mm (about half-inch) of space between the back of the mobo tray and side panel.. tight fit for the 24-pin if you ask me.. even the reviewer has trouble getting them tucked away http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Aerocoo..._Advance/5.html

Personally, if you like the styling, go for it... feature wise... they could've done better on the CM part.. also the feet and side facing HDD bays would be a plus

ops my mistake , its aerocool strike x one advance. and btw is there a budgeted case <RM 200 with a good cable management, air flow, enough space for long graphic cards and big cooler fans. and mayb even with a side window with 1-2 fan?

hmm... if you look at the picture of the chassis.. there is not much room between the mobo tray & side panel either.. and this one doesn't have rubber gromets

a budget case with good CM... you could try taking a look at the Cm elite 311 plus, Xigmatek midgard II and Asgard pro, bitfenix shinobi window but the side panels on these will support a maximum of one 120mm fan .... personally I don't like having fans on the side panel as there is usually no dust filters there

fans on side? is it a bad thing? cause i wanna cool down my gpu, and i heard sides blows towards the card>

well cooling wise it will help a lot, especially to the GPU.. but I'm considering other side effects such as the dust and noise that is contributed from having fans on the side panel

my suggestion is that you leave the side panel alone and only add fans if you think the GPU needs it.. that way you won't regret having to remove them later

ahh good tip, but i would like slot there, just in case.

Take off the fan at the back, looks dangerous.. also I noticed that you have all of your cables plugged into the PSU?? unplug those you don't use and keep them elsewhere

nothing much you could do about the 24-pin.. this is the elite430 afterall.. but the front panel connectors can be routed from the top behind the mobo

Sata cables are ok I guess.. not much you could do there as well

Yea hows the cable management of this one?

Judging from the exterior, there is very little space between the side panel and mobo tray... but looking inside, you'd get a little more space at the front where the 5.25" bays are.. probably have to route most of the cables there or below the front 5.25" drives
