Just set up my cousin's PC yesterday. Decided to hide the cables a little and this is what i managed to do.

Pls comment.

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...

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

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?

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.

Totally agreed with what you said there bro, the DFI cables suck. If not because i do not have spare rounded cables, i would not be using them. Those old cheapo rounded cables which i have eventually gave way after some wear and tear. Should give those CM you recommend a try when i have the budget.

Btw, just revived my 2nd rig. Would post up the pics after everything is done.
