NZXT? Ok, you got my attention there.
So excuse my amatuerish question: where can I find NZXT product sellers in M'sia? It seems that they have one partner listed on their site; do you have any other sellers to recommend? I'd prefer to make retail purchases.

Currently planning to build my 2nd rig, this time around I intend to route the cables behind the MoBo tray of my Antec 900 case. I doubt it'll be possible without a number of extension cables though.

Speaking of cable management, is anyone using spacing brackets to route the cables neatly?? like so:

Here it is. Previously all the bigger cables stemming from the PSU were right in between the hard drives and the motherboard, now they are not

great help you are shakehead.gif

@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

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>    blink.gif

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 sweat.gif

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

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

sleeved cable and will provide management also

try pmming Cyntrixtech, he should provide that service, his shop is in section 15 IINM, I don't recall any shops in LYP provide this service, if its too much a hassle, then the next best thing would be sleeved extensions from Bitfenix wink.gif

Actually that cm is very nicely done, considering the chassis nothing much to improve there unless you wanna mod or get a new chassis

You could do that, but it would mean more cables to hide

the cabling does seem nicer already, still got room for improvement but good job nonetheless.

but I notice your CPU cooler fan is blowing into the chassis from the back??

he's using the extension cables. cyntrix have their custom made ones. apes/ideal tech have the bitfenix ones =)

+1, There are also the Silverstone ones in Viewnet that supposedly fits their modular PSUs but they could be used as extensions as well
