Actually, fitting the Enermax Galaxy DXX 1Kw in the PC-G7 really gives me a headache.

And recabling and hiding all those cables is also gives a headache.

Thinking of drilling a 1.5CM hole on the motherboard tray to hide the 8PIN cable that is used for connecting to the motherboard 8 pin header. As right now, the 8Pin cable is exposed without any cover at all.

Kinda fugly.
Seriously, i have no regrets in selling my Aurora 570 & buying this small PC-G7.
Eventhough working in this casing is a lil' bit hard as it's a lot smaller than my old Aurora 570

Though, i have no regrets in selling that casing and buying this smaller PC-G7

But one thing bothers me though.
The two optical drives are kinda ugly without the 5.25 Bay Cover [The lian li 5.25 optical drive Cover]

Thinking of getting em.

install the CD storage at lower slot lor, cost that PSU very long will touch the 1st and 2nd slots.

Well... at least it looks much better than the fugly gheygabyte.

And yeah..get those lian li ODD covers or the coolermaster ones

oh shawty - you are the one

anyway i strungle to install my pc yesterday. no problem with cabling etc but the floppy disck cable for my STUPID designed abit mobo gave me lots of problem. was trying to figure out where to hide cables etc when i remember - wei, no side window panel - who's going to notice ah? as long as they are neatly tied and do not block the mobo ... ...... of cos my lian li still end up nicely cabled - window or no window!

which 8-pin cable u meant? ya it is abit hard to hide those cables in G7. aikz.. dont care first as dont have window side panel. i cant see it also

Seems like everyone enjoying the Lian Li PC-G7.....

some how like sHawTY said is very true ..the looks spoil by the Optical drive bay that fit in ...especially when u have white color for black case...

Getting the cover is a must .... to complete the look ..

as for interior wise it would be hard for long PSU and PSU that comes with lots of cables...

however those cable can be hidden inside the first optical drive slot ...or even down to second slot.... just use the 3rd and 4th slot for optical drive ...

hard to hide cable aeh?
i managed to hide the cables above the dvdrom and under the hdd cage

hey mine look almost similar except for my ugly round ide cable running right in the middle of the motherboard ....... damn abit!

you mean IDE cable for CD storage? if you don't wanna see those IDE cable then get SATA type lor.

huh just becos of the cable get a new dvd burner etc? nah ... i'll live with it, just frus abit is so smart to put it there together with 2 of the sata port

o... ic if you want use normal IDE cable and put behind the MB lor then you will not see it running arround la.

the problem is the abit mobo ab9 the ide is smack in between the pci and pcie slots - so no way to do it. i have already run the floppy cable under the board (mobo put it at the bottom of the case) ...... great board design. anyway i'm quite happy with my case look although i do not have the cd bezel becos my sony dvdrw got a very nice black tray design.

next i think will add led fan to the rear fan grill and change the side fan to led - just to brighten it a bit hehe

sorry i don't know you are using AB9 ha ha, mine is better cause i completely can't see anything at side panel side (no window, so no problem with those wires flying arround)

umm what about those pesky sata cables? can i bend the sata cable 90deg like those flat ide cables without damage?

to all users of PC-G7:
anyone here installed their optical drive at the 1st bay? is it interrupting with the IO port module box?

me did..but not the optical drive, but my cooler master musketeer..and it didnt colide/clash with those thing..

my 1st bay is for the dvdrw - the drive just clear it (ie after install it is touching the io port panel)

Nope.
I put the DVDRW in the first slot.
Where got problem?
