Male and female molex are sold right? What about the 24pin socket on the motherboard? I need it for my extension so that i can plug that socket to the 24pin power cable.

I want to go UV but Silverstone's PSU will have the warranty voided if the already sleeved cables gets resleeved.

Silverstone also have 24pin to 20+4pin connectors on sale. So its basically a 24pin --> 24pin connector if you are looking for one..

Guys, need some opinion here. How do you guys normally hide the cables that are attached to your rear fan?I am having a trouble hiding them as my controller is at the front but my fan is at the rear..

I am using the single IDE slot version. Good for me since i only have one IDE drive which is the DVD Writer...


Anyway, guys, need some oppinion here on how you guys manage the PCIE cable if one is needed for the GC? How do you guys normally hide or at least make it look better in the casing?

Gosh..6 hours and counting? You guys must have alot alot alot of patience. I tried to do mine today but darn, do not have the sufficient amount of time. Besides, doesnt even look nice in the end. Let me upload a few pictures tomorrow - in my HP and ask for some oppinions regarding the cables routing..LOL..

LOL..I understand that it takes alot of time. But seriously, i dont do mind half hearted either. Its just that i always couldnt find out the best route to do the cables.

Anyway, as promised, this is my cable management on my A10. Pardon me for the poor cable management. This is my first case with a bottom PSU. Any C&C are always welcomed..

for the hdd u can try change the direction,,make it the cable mount the other side..so can invisible abit ur cable,,erm for atx cable i think i can b hidden by made sum hole on the mobo tray then u can plug it direct under the mobo..for me also its wud b nice if u let the psu fan face the other side..then it will make the cable abit longer coz the cable from psu will b abit top rather than now at bottom..n yeah 4pin/8pin atx power also need to make hole for ur mobo tray..but if the lenght can direct plug when route behind the mobo then no need to make hole tongue.gif the other cable for power switch,reset and so on u can try sleeve it or route it properly by cable tie it..then it wont b messy tongue.gif jus my opinion

Thanks for the tips there. I will check out and see what i could do better in that way... rclxms.gif notworthy.gif

I think it's fine current cable management outcome....

I've posted some tips at Lian Li thread ... lazy to type all over again ...

Ultimate solution BTX !!!!!!!!

LOL..Yea, of course, BTX is going to solve ALOT of the issues. Thanks for the tips as well. Let see whether i could take out half of my day during the weekends or not to fix things up...

Faster post your rig dude ... brows.gif

LOL...Not preview but my PC do not have any bluetooth connection. Need to transfer those pictures from my hpone to my PC tongue.gif

Anyway, here are the pictures. Still not perfect cable management but i do hope this is better than last time. Took in some advice of pros here and fix some of the issues i have last time.. smile.gif

Still, the problem with the 8pin power connector is there. Will try to source out a solution later... smile.gif

Changes :

- Took out the fan grill
- Changed a new CPU Cooler
- Change the position of my DVD Burner to make it closer to my SATA ports
- Change the location of my PSU
- Route most of the cables to the back of the mobo plate


Any other comments are welcomed. notworthy.gif

hehehe .. finally the long awaiting A10 is arrived with awesome setup ..

So far so good ... looks good ..

btw, can't u route the 8 pins mobo connector behind the side patent fan ..

I did mine last time by routing through the opening between the mobo and graphic card ... then straight up to the connector ..

not sure ur setup can do the same or not ... brows.gif
*
Well, at first, i tried to route it between the side panel fan and graphic card. Boot up the system and found out that the side panel fan is actually clashing with the fan. The fan blades are actually touching the cable itself. Therefore, i route it the other way around, which looks really bad in picture.

I will try out your suggestion later when i have the time. Hopefully, the cable is long enough and it will make it look way better... notworthy.gif

Thanks for the idea and comments so much guys..

You guys rocks...!! smile.gif

Anyway, like mADmAN said, it really destroy the purpose of the removable mobo tray if i were to route it that way. Besides, i need it to go through so many device (Asus PCIE X1 sound card, GC, Audigy 2 Sound Card) in order for it to reach the bottom and that is going to be a hassle whenever you need to take out the mobo tray..

Well, that being said, my Sata cables (as seen in the pictures) are already blocking the removable mobo tray thingy..So, i need to sacrifice one or another..LOL..

Any idea where i can find extension cables for the 8pin connector?

-----

Edited :

Nicely done there afosz. Especially on the sata cables. At first, its really bad when twisted that way..Now, its great looking flex.gif notworthy.gif

thanks. spiral sata thingy is the basic idea of cable management yet i didn't know. copy from my friend tongue.gif then later switch the hdd front-to-back, better. but a bit difficult. need to plug in sata n power cable 1st, then only put both hdd into the bay

anyway, yours aren't bad either. btw, those cables cannot go through behind mobo tray? im sure you still not satisfy with that brows.gif
*
No. I am not sure how to explain this but the other side of the mobo tray leave no place to route any cables or i will not be able to close the side panel. The only place i could think off now and will make it looks better - between the PCI cards and mobo.

Well, i like spiral sata cables. It make things look neater IF you are unable to hide it. But if you are able to hide it, it will look much better... rclxms.gif

if u see my cables i didnt bother using the holes near the sata ports.... as i want my mobo tray to be easily removable. but then again the sata cables are easy to remove so no big deal. easier to remove then routing the cables between the PCIe and mobo.

extension cable... i strongly suggest u take a trip to jalan pasar (i know ur young...so bring thy daddy). they would have all u need there (except cable sleeves). once u have all the parts, either make it ur own (usually involves crimping the pins with the cables) else, if ur not competent with a soldering iron, find someone who is. some of the shops in Japan Pasar might even be able to make it for u on the spot. so make sure u have all ur measurements ready.

u need the male and female molex, male and female pins for the molex and of course the necessary cables. heatshrinks...not sure.

also, u could try and ask some of the bulkers for the Silverstone PP04 though im sure the price will be more than a trip to Jalan Pasar

btw, u already have the A2 soundcard. why are u using the Asus PCIe soundcard?? blink.gif
*
Wow..Thanks for the tips there. So, people at Jln Pasar will know about those stuff if i were to ask them? Been there once before but it was over-crowded that time so i did not ask much. Well, i bought the PP04 before (I think cost roughly RM25) but it was not really that long. I bought it for my cousin who have a tough time routing the wires for TJ06 which at the same situation, have the PSU at the top while running BTX style.

Guess i need to check out that place for once and see what stuff they have there smile.gif Another thing is, my electronical skills or whatever they call it are as well as dead since i leave school though..LOL...

Regarding the sound card, well, i did not really use the Asus PCIe sound card. Its just that it felt "wasted" if i were to not install it. Guess for routing cable purposes, i need to take it off..LOL...

QUOTE(Doom @ Jan 21 2008, 01:54 AM)
This is what I did last time for graphic card brows.gif

Cost me less than RM5 to get it complete .. .

So just try to get the right connector, pin, wires and it could be done with a crimp ... btw .. could get industrial heat shrink at the shop as well .. very cheap only ..

LOL..Now you make me wish you were back here to make some for me.. tongue.gif Nice job there...
