QUOTE(mpstr @ Oct 14 2010, 12:04 PM) really?! i dunno about how many cables with dif brand of PSU...so what brand and model of ur PSU? if want to change just give it to me ur 700W...  Its on my Sig but anyway.. its a Huntkey 700W box said rated at 80+ but dunno how true, I bought it cause it was cheaper than what normally a 550W modular would cost lol RM280 I think.. Back then I dunno how much power I needed lol Wa.. giv kenot la..wanna sell for some $$$ to get modular lol but now also no budget or plan to change yet.. maybe by christmas  |

QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Oct 29 2010, 09:53 AM) Guys, it is possible to get those black cover box to cover the exessive cable? I'm planning to get one as I really cant find any other way to hide those cables >.< Black cover box?? u mean like the one they have for the CM HAF-X? haven't seen any of those around sold seperately bro... maybe u can ask the forumers here and see who is willing to part with it? lol  but then again.. you could make it out from alumunium sheets ......or acrylic... and paint them UV reactive..... hmm... now thats a thought....  |

QUOTE(Source96 @ Dec 18 2011, 12:49 AM) Not all are very poor.But i do admit those entry-level ones are poor built.The elite series cases are so light,yet i assume its extremely fragile. But HAF series shouldn't be a problem. I agree with u, especially the side panels... flimsy and tend to flex when handled.. rattles badly with a side fan on it |

They are hot from the beginning, its just that they started off being very expensive with the 800D and slowly they expanded to the Graphite then finally the Carbite series

QUOTE(azizul9736 @ Jan 12 2012, 09:16 PM) how ? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « hmm... Start from the top 200mm fan... tuck the wire behind the tray from the top instead of going for the CM hole shift the 24-pin connector to the upper CM hole for a better look and ur pcie 6-pins to be shifted to the middle Cm hole so that its wrapping as close as possible to the GPU Have your USB2.0 connectors come out from the side of the PSU... should be a little hole there if u move the PSU out a bit other front panel connectors u can do what cyntrix does and rout them between the mobo and the mobo tray... u will have to remove ur mobo to do this though lastly, shift the 2 HDDs u have down to the smaller drive cage so that u can hide the sata cables easier |

QUOTE(j_petrucci @ Jan 13 2012, 10:17 AM) me? of coz i can but other people i cant say the same too.. lets say u put 3 pics + spoiler and in if 1 page u have 4 posts how many pics already?? and what if other users following u with 3 pics also have posts on the same page.. that wud be so many pics already right??? pity to other people u have slow connections they are having a hard time to even load a single page if this persists. I think its fine the way it is.. I mean u can't expect to click this topic expecting no pictures right?? its bound to be heavy with picts cause not everyone will know how to resize them cause ppl who post here are normally those seeking advice who are new to the forum anyway |

QUOTE(azizul9736 @ Jan 15 2012, 10:26 AM) re-do cable, But concern on my HDD getting heat-up , prevly i separate it. HOW? » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « no cause for concern there I suppose check with HWmonitor to see ur HDD temp... I doubt its anything close to overheating... HDDs works best at about between 35C to 55C IINM so go figure... anyway nice job on the CM, looks a lot neater IMHO |

Added on January 21, 2012, 12:00 amwhats that? ACE hardware is expensive IMHO I usually just go to a normal hardware shop lol and yes sleeved cables are expensive.. not necessarily to be done now but u may do that next time |

600T i5 gtx560 corsair vengence 4gb x 2 silverstone strider plus 600w 60gb ssd samsung dvd writer Nice work on the cables at the back is that a fan controller on the 7th expansion panel?? it'd probably be better if u route it up along the side of the back exhaust fan rathre than across ur mobo to where ur PCIe power is This post has been edited by Clem1982: Mar 5 2012, 08:50 AM |

QUOTE(ijatneda @ May 29 2012, 07:42 PM) Hi, Want to show some of cable that I can manage, Comment and suggestion are welcome. [attachmentid=2865308] on a CM690 basic thats a very good job with the cables IMHO but if you really want an opinion.. try getting the PCIe power cables to hug closer to the GPU and shorten the protruding 24-pin power cables |

QUOTE(ijatneda @ May 30 2012, 09:24 AM) Thanks for the opinion,I try do what you suggest,but back side already pack.And to assemble the back cover,need to force a little bit since the gap of the tray motherboard is so little and the 24 pin cable is so thick. I know how u feel, have a 690 basic at hometown too and I dun dare squeeze the cables between the mobo tray and side panel so I bundled up the unused cables near to the PSU before the bottom fan, and place the 24 pin as closely as possible to the bottom of the mobo lol been that way since 2 years ago... always saying that I'd single-sleeve the PSU and tuck them in the back but never had the chance |

QUOTE(Jackzz9011 @ Jun 23 2012, 10:37 PM) Ya same.. When i doing the cable management.. I got think to hide the motherboard supplies to the back but my power supplies cable is not enough long to make it... And i cant manage to find any extension 8-pin power cord for the motherboard at ipoh.. I will try go do survey at low yat see got anot.. you could order the 8-pin extension from LYN here u know... niclasteoh one that will do custom cable extensions while some sellers will have sleeved cable extensions from the likes of Bitfenix or NZXT |
