Thanx...
It's the C5 fully black.
Nope, no physical mods to the casing.

Very sharp eyes you have there. Bingo, see the little gap beside the PSU, all the PSU cables were pushed through there and hidden or re-routed from behind. Even the 4 pin ATX cable was routed from behind.

With some planning and when you have too much time to kill, everyone can do that.

I'll post more on it, the other shots will show some of the cables. Like the IDE cable, floppy cables, the front audio and the front 1394.

But i forgotten to snap the area where i left the cables. It's actually beside the right side panel, beside the HDD area.

Yup, sort of like that...

Haha... ...Shhh...dun tell others, i'm using wireless...

The truth shall be revealed. Wait for my next posts on the remaining pics. Btw, is the pic in ur avatar u...I can help you out if you pimp your rig if you want to...

It's an 8600GT, so no need 6-pin PCIE.

AMD X2 4400+
Abit KN9 SLI
2x1GB DDR2 667
Galaxy 8600GT OC Edition
250GB Seagate Sata II NCQ 16mb
Samsung DVD-RW
1.44 Floppy
CM 120mm Silent Fan
CM Centurion 5 Casing
CM Extreme Power 430w

Yup, so try to put only what you need.

No physical mods to the case...

By request, the pic without the side panel.
Now all the cacings are exposed...



I've checked. That hole would not cause any cuts to the cables. So basically there should not be any problem with it. The gap behind the mobo tray depends on how you arrange them. I masked the cables to the mobo tray itself. Too bad i dun have sleeves and heatshrinks with me or i'll be able to do a better job.

As you could see there, the front panel cables requires some sleeving, same as the other PSU ATX cables.

Bout the floppy, ya, it's still needed. My couz still has a baby bro in standard one. My baby couz, and the school computer class distributes floppy disk. So basically the floppy was exclusively prepared for him...

NIce job even with the side panel off it still a good cable management result...

Thanx for the compliment bro...
Really appreciate it...

just trying to enroute all the cables thorugh the small hole behind the psu, and too bad not all cables fit in.. and the space behind the mobo's tray now is crowded



anyway, here's mine, sorry for the mess, not good in cable management nor psu sleeving



the front panel is located on top, so, quite hard to hide and route the cables

-adios-

Hi RokXIII,
Here are my suggestions.
Firstly, those power cables from the PSU could be hidden inside the 5.25" bays as you have ample space there.
For the Main ATX 4 and 24 pin cable, i think it's quite good d, nothing much can be done there.
Those LED cables could use some sleeving. Since you already sleeved the PSU, it shouldn't be much extra work.
The IDE cable could be folded more properly.
For the other cables, i'm not quite sure how to hide them as i've never owned any Lian-lis before.

Btw dude, where's you Michael Scofield avatar?

@RokXIII

why don't just use the fan header built on board to power ur fans ,,,, It would better looking and lesser routing ...

Sleeve the remaining cables would be a good way to achieve neat looks...

Thanks for both of ur comments, i will try to do according to what u guys said!
I will get a rounded IDE cable soon, so nothing to worry bout it. And for the 120mm rear fan, i dun have a 3 pin connector currently, so i think i will keep it 1st.

Btw, is that possible to sleeve up the LED cable (jumper)? If yes, then how?

@memo
Michael Scofield will not coming out until this August, so same with me la, i will put again his avatar when is S3...

Rounded ide cables...Hmm, sometimes i hate them as they are harder to hide compared to normal IDE cables. Like my own rig, the DFI rounded cables really makes up a cacing nest in my rig especially when i still need both the IDE cables and also the floppy cable.

Btw, it is possible to sleeve up all the cables. Try using the smallest size sleeves, put all your cables LED (jumper) cables together, try to arrange them to have almost the same length and it will be much more tidier.

OT:
Hmmm, S3 in August. I'm also eagerly waiting. Can't wait for it to be up.

thats ur biggest problem right there...the DFI rounded cables...they suck...they really just suck. not as flexible and when u bend them they look like shit...

the best rounded cables ive ever experienced would be the black ones from CM (the one with the extra ground wire). flexible, and they still look good when u bend them. i used them in my HTPC and i can still tuck them away nicely, out of sight.

Hi guys,
I'm getting my transparent side panel soon from Doom, so i did some cable management yesterday. I already routed my front panel wires under the mobo...still I dun really like the way it look...not tidy enough compared to some of you guys..
I'm not planning to sleeve my psu yet as i'm changing PSU soon.

Anyway to hide those fugly red,yellow,black wires for the time being?? any suggestion will be appreciated.thanks

hahahha ..if he's in hurry he could get his newly,freshly side panel today ...

anyway there's another way ... just PM me for ordering a custom cable for all those red, yellow and black messy cables...

hah? wat kind of custom cable do u refer to?

hahaha....really hope my panel fits my case well...
custom cables? interesting...nvm heard of it... could u show a sample of it here?

Yea, what is those custome cables?The front panel wires are always a trouble for me..

This what I did long way back ...

Custom cables

Anyway those are workmanship in the past .. so as time progress the skill got better the quality of work also increases ... so it would look nicer than those in the photo ..

Those photos just to provide some ideas how it would be ..

U could customize the color of the cable, thickness of the cable, sleeve or no sleeve ... and the molex connector as well ...

Very impressive....maybe I should try learn those sleeving myself...
