Oh u tie the fan into the tiny tiny hole there?

yep using the tiny cable tie comes with the case. not so neat however

hi guys... need a recommendation for TT V3 BE...

borrowing moderno's picture...

is it recommended to route all the PSU cables into this small hole?
worrying the small hole may accidentally cut my cables...


anyway, i will use seasonic non-modular...

for me if all the cables fit in,then why not

if you worry that the case might cute your cables,then just put a small clothe/something soft at the side there

@gkl83
if u afraid the edge will cut the wire then u can look around for edge rubber protector

actually i thinking how i going to locate all the cables into hole as the gap seem too small...
especially the 24pin big connector may troublesome to go thru the hole... otherwise cut the for bigger hole?

Bro V3nz, check MB manual.
If I'm not mistaken for 1 GC is better plug in to the green color PCIE slot..
Because it both may have difference. PCI-Express x16 and PCI-Express x8..
Cheer

Yes,thanks for telling me that...

but i follow exactly like my mb manual said,

in order to run at x16 speed,i need to put the gc at the main slot (orange slot)

and put in the other card at the 2nd slot....

thx for reminding anyway

just built my new rig... and i did my best for cable management...

rear side, used a big cable tie which come along with my new PSU to hold the cables...


messy wiring...
realized 4 pin power for CPU very short...

4pin ATX cannot route under mobo?

He already mentioned it's too short.
When buying a new PSU I will make sure that this cable is long enuf to connect to my mobo.
And I find Corsair PSUs cable length is adequate

How is my cable management? Sorry bout the big pic, I forgot to resize it. The XFX's 8pin 12v cable will just barely reach around the back of the casing. And you all wouldn't like to see the other side of it, it is unbeliveably messy(but no one will notice )

I think the CM Elite 430 is quite bad for cables. There are no holes around the top and bottom of the m/b tray. I think u did your best ald.

that is TT V3 Black Edition...

i thinking to do a new cable with sleeve for my 4pin ATX extension cable...
beside niclasteoh, anyone around Klang Valley can do it for me?

Oops, I think it looks like a 430 because of its black interior, absence of cable holes and the way the HDD is mounted looks like a 430. Sorry about that.

small issue bro...

anyway, u can differentiate between 430 and V3 by case fan if didnt install another case fans into
430 come with front case fan only, V3 come with rear case fan only

too short if he route like the pic he shown..but i think he can jus hv nice length cable to reach the port if able to route under the mobo

sigh... niclasteoh need a week to customize my 4+4pin ATX cable...
sad to hear that as my casing left naked, no further cable management bcos of this cable...

Good afternoon.

I just wanna share my cable management tricks on my workstation.

Let me introduce Treetop L-2000 L shaped casing which makes monitor and casing as one. Monitor's height can be adjusted and also support pivot/rotation.

Computer specification:




Power cable, monitor cable are hidden as the back and underneath the table using plastic cover/heat insulator which can be bought from hardware shop.

Speaker and monitor power cables are connected to a single 3-socket extension, making a single power connector to the main wall socket. Subwoofer is 'hanged' with custom iron bracket underneath the table. Therefore it is so easy to move the whole computer. Just disconnect the main plug, and move the table to a new location.



The number of cables greatly reduced with the use of wireless desktop and wireless Ethernet. Any exposed cables such as TV antenna, infrared receiver, speaker cable,DVI cable and monitor power cable are hidden and secured in the black plastic cover.

Card reader no longer inside since no exposed 3.5 inch compartment available in this chassis. It is replaced with a USB multicard reader.

Wireless USB and Bluetooth dongle are small enough to be hidden at the front cover just near the blue power button. Signal reception is still magnificent!




The interior was a bit difficult as the airflow was a bit different from normal casing. Arrows in the diagram are showing how cold air are taken, circulated and hot air being forced out.

USB and audio connectors are arranged behind the motherboard so it won't obstruct other components. Graphic card's PCIe power and SATA cable are routed behind and near the harddisk. The 3 harddisks are cooled with a 70mm fan underneath them. Another harddisk is located under the optical drive. So thing's looked so tidy and I think I've improved the interior airflow to the max.

So that's all for now. Enjoy modding!

nice cable management

regard the CM thing..is it safe to tight 1 bundle for the wire in the pc?
I look at 1 short clip and it scare me..
