How much are they? Thinking of getting cable extensions, still looking around surveying the price tongue.gif

I know that wink.gif that's why it's so clean (the build) not to criticize, but to some it may looks empty

worry not bro sooner Bitfenix will release new cases including Prodigy M here
but release date not known yet...
so far bitfenix prodigy steel thickness among the best..hehehehe
bayangkan...bayangkannnnn hmm.gif

the Prodigy M is still in it's prototype phase, they wanna try fitting long GPU and tall HSFs without changing the form factor so it'll take a while to sort out the internal layout smile.gif

I'm expecting the Ronin to arrive to our shores and the Shadow release later on.. the Phenom M looks interesting as well... too many good things coming this time around rclxm9.gif

whoa 5 hours, what an effort there can see significant improvement there bro thumbup.gif

TIP, the front panel audio cable should be able to fit behind the mobo tray and come out from the PSU holder, the wire is thin enough to fit between the gaps wink.gif and the coloured sata cables can be moved slightly behind the HDD so that they don't go down from the Cm-hole wink.gif did these 2 before I sold my CM690II 1st gen

try these

1-route the small cables behind the motherboard. The HD audio, Sata and the USB 2.0 can all fit there
2-Group together the USB3.0, 6-pin pci-e and 24-pin to come out from one grommet will look nicer

alternatively, get sleeved extensions for the 4-pin EPS, 6-pin Pci-e and 24-pin power and route those to the front instead of the Original cables from the PSU

I Re-route the cable you mentioned just now , it's look much more better now !
Follow all your step , indeed it look much more better ! Will share some picture later smile.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
Really huge improvement !

Took me around 1 hour to re-route and figure how to hide the cable. Totally worth it !

Yeah... cable management can be a real pain in the arse but it's very satisfying after all the trouble.
I'm using cable extensions from topazzatech, here: cable extender and I got the sleeves from him as well, here: colortrail.
A problem with using cable extenders is that you will have to manage that extra cables in the back of your case. It'll be worst if you are using non-modular PSU as well. As my image here will show you... hahaha...
[attachmentid=3586006]

Then again, it is also the easiest way to make your case look tidy and clean! smile.gif Just plan on how you want the front part to look like and then only worry how to manage the back. hahaha... XD

Lol your CM looks like mine bro, the back is a total mess... not that anyone could see it though 700W non-modular PSU have lotsa cables.. too many in fact lolz but I'm using the cable extensions from BitFenix, their Alchemy line is really good looking as well smile.gif

wow nice and neat cable management bro...

just wondering do cm scout 1st edi comes with the grommet rubber? hmm.gif

Nope, they don't... earlier versions of CM chassis don't have rubber grommets, even the original CM690II adv doesn't have it until the revision

NZXT sleeved LED cables smile.gif wouldn't it be better if the LED cables be mounted onto the side panel instead? that way when you open the side you'd not have the cable hanging in the middle

Pull every cable out through the back of the mobo tray, tie up in one compact bundle and stuff it below your HDD in the HDD bays, route the wires from there following the skeleton of your mobo tray and use black zipties to secure them.. else can get black velcro straps if you wanna re-use in the future

and a shot of what my Team did for cable management in the Silverstone Fortress 04
