indeed it looks very neat. should post pix WITHOUT the side panel and also where u hid all the cables...at least that can give some ideas to other people as well...

be generous with the knowledge

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.

yep...thats the one...

im using those and i really like them.

i upgraded my A64 2800+ rig to the rig in my sig over the weekend which included a new PSU...and that means time for cable management again!

actually not much different than previous management. this time i lazy wanna sleeve so i hid all cables and tried my best to leave none showing. might sleeve then when im feeling a little more rajin one of these days...

full view of the front..


where i routed the cables to go down...from the front the cables are hidden...(ignore the masking tape on the back of the mobo tray).
the back of the mobo tray itself is clean of any cables. cant really route anything there.


now..i remember reading some forumers complaining about the PSU cables blocking the top exhaust fan. heres what i did...notice the white thingy stuck to the alu under the heatshrinked part? its a cable tie base. without it confirm will block the air flow for me. these things were also very helpful for me when i was doing cable management for my old HEC case which only had 1 sidepanel that could be opened

got pic to show??? mebbe i can help give ideas....try showing the front and the back of the mobo tray

clean fingerprint?? no need... at least the case have all my 'marks' on it!!!

truth is...lazy la

@sniper69

mfcm got sharp eyes

either that or he already knows the layout of the mobo

@vincent09
how many cdroms are u using?

and u dont have space between the mobo tray and the rom cage to slip the cables through from what i see....this is tough

EDIT: also, what PSU are u using?

better yet, can list out all ur specs?

@vincent09

my first suggestion,

since u only have 1 rom drive... move it to the top most of the case...so that ull have a nice big space to hide ur cables underneath it. but hide it oso have to be neat la....so make sure u cable tie ur cables to the rom cage like i did mine (only urs is on the inside of the cage, mine is on the outside).

for ur ATX cable, ur gonna have to route it nicely in the cage before it comes out to the mobo. same thing goes for ur GC power cable.

as for the rom drive...if u get a SATA burner...ur gonna have to find a sata cable long enough to reach the top of the cage. not sure if LYP got or not...

but if u get IDE burner, i strongly suggest a rounded IDE cable. easier to manage than flat ribbon cables unless ur ribbon cable is long enough to do a nice fold all the way til the top.

for ur rear fan...wrap the cable arount the fan as much as u can then only connect to the mobo. same goes for ur proc hsf...wrap it around the heatsink.

why u like my previous UV ah?? if u do...which one?? the HEC case or the current case?

anywa, i dunno la bro....damn lazy already wei... getting old already man... wakakakkakakakak

my previous mega UV setup in my HEC 6919 case took me over a year to finish coz im too bz with work (16 hours a day ) so dunno if i wanna do again or not

cable management doesnt necessarily have to be all the cables hidden....its called cable management...not cable hiding.

just arrange ur cables so that it looks really neat. route them all together or something instead of letting them loose like that.

and doom does make a very good point.

btw, ur rear 80mm fan....wat fan is that?? allngap modded wan is it?

instead of spending the money for a modular PSU, the money can be used to get a lian li...seriously.

thats what id do...i dont like modular PSUs and i dont like acrylic casings too

did this a long long long time ago....but forgot to take pix and post here...

this is my office rig...



pic blurry coz taken with w810i.

hahahah.when i did it i was a little too free....

company stuff oso....im still the one using it...so might as well take care of it otherwise later problem im the one who gets the headache

normally ya la..for big corporations...

but my company small ma....somemore im one of the guys who helped setup the PCs...so no problems la...

i even used to have my A2ZS in the office PC....gonna bring my 6800 to the office soon so can play game better

actuallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy my boss even has NFS Carbon installed on his PC

his cubicle oso right behind mine...so he stand up can see what i doing liao


nola...u think i so free to sleeve the PSU meh??? the PSU already comes with the blue sleeves and the blue molex connectors...i didnt do anything to the PSU oso

its an icute 480w by the way

u can check it out HERE (Page 1 Post #12 & #13)

only did the top window and UV mod...pix are all there.

time for an update.... ive gone SLI so heres an update on my cable management



not too happy about the GC/HDD area....needs to be sleeved then i think better....but damn lazy to do now..

theres a whole thread on this case here

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=328989

yeah....quite common....u should be able to find them in hardware stores...

found mine in Ace Hardware Mid Valley.

agree....also the IDE cable seems like it needs to be re-worked. the folding looks abit off to me...
