Sleeve the cables 1st. So that the cables will look less.

well sleeving it means i have to put some money into it to buy the stuff.

here is my first attempt to tidy it a little. (dont mind that stupid IDE cable there. it will be gone once i reply the IDE DVD Drive in there with my SATA DVD Drive once i buy a SATA cable.


Before


After

its my first time. so dont be too harsh

that okay for a newbie in cable management hehe

Hehe, finally get my digicam battery and take some shot.


OK this is my previous casing spiderman from i-cute with messy cacing. ( When i using still like that )


After do some cable manage then will become like this. ( But now is my GF casing.)


Here is my Lian Li PC-60 Plus case without cable manage.


After manage and add 1 more HardDisk will become like this.



Em can someone suggest me what can do with this SATA cable and SATA power cable besides sleeve.

u can twist the sata cable like spring..looks better..or u just find a way to hide the sata cables

Last time is look like spring but feel not so good, my sata cable is hiding behind there just c got any other way XD.

For the sata cable u could only push it deep to the front of the HDD cage... nth more .....

as for the power cable u could only make a custom cable for both HDDs for a better look...

Emm. just ask a wonder question, If SATA cable stick on HD top serface or below will it affect the HDD heat, or will make the SATA worse after long time. HDD quite heat 1 sometime.

New improve on SATA power cable.

It wont coz the wrapping should be able to handle high temperature .. at least it doesn't melt during sleeving process.. so rest assured..

Anyway I noticed both case fans are intake .. what about exhaust .??

Doesn't the case need some ?

Exhaust got 2 fan, side panel and top. Side panel didnt put cus need take shot, top hehe on that view totally can't c there.

I see, cus i c some ppl SATA cable stick on that HDD there and pull until hiding area. So don't know is it will heat or not.

Now learn more new way hide those power cable for SATA HDD XD. Notice that ? Hehe.

Oh yea, if i want to install with filter case fan is it for Intake enought? Exhaust need filter ???

It should be enough as long as the density of the filter aren't too tight ..

Only intake required filter while exhaust doesn't ...

I see XD. Hmm maybe can stop for cable management for my case XD really nothing can do. But just like to hide cable XD.

vincent if you take rear as the intake it will suck hot air from psu.

yes i second that..
basically front will be the intake and rear as exhaust..

if got top and side, it depends but usually side will be used to
- cool down gc, or
- blow out the hot air front gc..

Er u know that real fan is for what? That real fan with air duct is for intake cooling air for cpu, the PSU behind got a metal is make the PSU hot air going to other side and wont easy let real fan intake it.

Although i didn't put that metal ( because PSU switch block ), i feel not so hot on CPU area.

Maybe i need look for it certain time to see is it too hot or what. XD.

Thank for the info XD.
