Is there anyway that u can reroute the inlet tubing of the procs WB? maybe like this? the inlet tubing is an eyesore across the matrix GC sad.gif

i doubt it is possible, cos the length of the tube seems like ngam2 only. otherwise he would've rerouted the tube like u've shown in the diagram tongue.gif

anyway, here's my failed attempt at cable management with an Elite 334... it's very hard to hide all the cables in this casing... sweat.gif any suggestions on how to improve?

i've helped my friend with his cable management in a CM scout... and actually u can hide all those wires behind the mobo tray. just reroute all of the cables through that hole below that mobo, then hide some of the cables behind the mobo tray, and some in the hdd cage or the 5.25 bays (if cannot fit all behind mobo tray)... then spread the cables behind the mobo tray evenly so that the cables wont overlap each other. u can try using those cable ties or some tapes to hold the cables in position. tape the molex heads too so that they will lie flat. then firmly close the side panel while applying pressure on the top and bottom of the side panel, not the center. 2 people should make the job easier, one apply pressure at the top, one at the bottom of side panel, then just slide the side panel in. should be easier if lie the casing flat on the floor. good luck! biggrin.gif

p/s: nothing much can be done with the 4-pin mobo connector... i have the same PSU (xigmatek 500W is it?), and the 4-pin mobo connector is freakin short.. so i dunno if ur 4-pin cable can reach the mobo if u put the cable behind the mobo tray... i hope it can.. sweat.gif

haha, yeah, there will be a slight bump on the side panel... but it's not that noticeable... if the right side panel is facing the wall or table, then should be ok, people wont notice... tongue.gif

i think i can help a bit... when i get back in college next week, i'll try to take a pic of the cables behind the mobo tray. hopefully can help u somewhat.. i had some problem trying to close the side panel too when i put all the cables behind the mobo tray. but after a few adjustments, the side panel slides in just fine. biggrin.gif i'll update u later.. icon_rolleyes.gif

@pitywoman: hi there. as promised, i've taken some pics of the cables behind the mobo tray. my fren's cm scout is not available, so i'm using my own casing as a reference. it's really messy though... noob's work... but i hope it could be of help... sweat.gif

hmm... maybe u can put the hdd in the opposite direction... so that the SATA and the power cables for the hdd arent visible from the front.. like in yuktsi14's rig for example... biggrin.gif

eh, no no... the hdd rack stays that way, but the hdd's sata port and power port will be facing inside. just take out the hdd, turn it the other way around, clip it back to the blue plastic hdd holder, and just slide it in. i'm sure it can be done as i have similar chassis before. biggrin.gif

how come everyone can fit their 24pin cable into CM690 bottom hole @.@
the 1 beside power supply. if i put my 24pin cable into it, others cable will not able to go in -.-" so i decide to leave my 24pin cable outside sad.gif

maybe ur psu is a bit longer than the standard size, thus blocking the hole beneath the mobo tray. what kind of psu are u using? hmm.gif anyway, the holes arent that big to begin with, but u should be able to squeeze the cables through... smile.gif

this is the bottom hole in my cm690, viewed from the back. the psu blocks the hole a bit, but can still manage to squeeze all the cables there. but everything ngam2 only... if ur psu is blocking half of the hole, then i guess it's going to be difficult to squeeze everything... sweat.gif

the 2nd rig's cable management is much better, even though the psu is non-modular, and the chassis is just a normal chassis.. thumbup.gif by the way, ur mom needs the ram cooler? brows.gif

neat cable management. but the 4-pin mobo connector cannot go through the back? the cable very short is it? anyway, may i know is the bottom fan 12cm or 14cm? thanks! smile.gif

the location of the 24-pin mobo connector is really weird... since it's quite difficult to hide all the cables, why dont u go uv? brows.gif anyway, i think u've done ur best. sleeving some of the cables will help.. biggrin.gif
