Yeap saw that but thats a CM Sniper?

I'm guessing cos the V8 won't fit unless you remove the top casing fan right?

That's a cool idea thanks for the link.

Intel Core i5 760

Nope unless you mod it: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1499180

Easier method then the above would be just modding the HDD tray and slotting the card into the 2nd PCI slot.

Thanks!

Cable management wasn't too bad on the Scout. Managed to hide most of it to the back

Thanks for the comments >.<

But yeah fitting in the 24 pin from the top was very challenging and actually cut my hands in the process as well haha

This is a guide which I used to manage by cables

As most of my other cables are routed from the bottom I didn't want to add the 24 pin through it as well. I did try it out but similar to you had trouble closing the right panel. So had to go through the top and force in the 24 pin from the top haha. Tough work but happy with the end results.

I think the sleeved cables makes it harder to hide cables at the back due to the bulk. Notice that some PSUs (CM & Corsair) are moving to modular flat cables which I think will make ones cabling life easier.
