u r using centurion casing?
how many hdd u have?
and how many roms u have?
is there any unused drive there coz i saw some drives without cable..

with that amount of optical drive u better use a flat IDE cable rather those EL cable ...fold it nicely and wrap together ...

as for ur PSU i would suggest to get it sleeved for better look..

anyway what are those cable at the PCI slot area for ???

Bro ! Post ur pic directly la ! Dun show the link to us ! Hard to c la ! My streamyx is slow like turtle ~!

Are those optical drives in use? From the picture, it looks like there's two that are unconnected? Take them out if you're not using them and you'll have more space to hide/organize the cables like Doom suggested.

just take out any hardware that u didn't use and use flat IDE cable....or if u are creative enough to hide the rounded cable....or make the rounded cable look not to messy....

about the two unconnected optical drives i planned to used it at as raid drive but it my pc only detected the raid card but not the drives.
so now i'm waiting for any replies regarding my raid in the forum. until then, i leave it unconnected. i always copy cd.. i dont have enough money to buy simultaneous burning cd drives so i planned to used my old cd-rom to do fast write.

now i have:

1 DVD burner
1 CD burner
2 CD ROM (unconnected)
2 SATA
2 PATA
1 Floppy

again what's the cable around the PCI slot area ??

help yourself then only we could help you ....

sorry2 bro.. i was in a hurry going out... just came back.. the cables at the pci slot are the power cables for my CCFL UV but now it is not connected.. the inverter burned need to buy a new one to replace it.

Im planning to revert back to flat cable like the others suggested.. but the floppy cable i dont know to arrange it cause the floppy port located at different place from IDE and SATA port. any images that i can refer to?

how to post the pic directly? I tried to adjust the html code still not success doing it.

does any body knows any person sells modding accesories such as cable sleeves in seremban?

check the garage sales.. alot of people are selling them.. get it sent by post.. same cost as your petrol (and parking maybe).. and better choice..

anyway.. about your cable management.. i'd really have to recommend you to get normal flat ide cables as they are thinner and easily fold-able..

what casing re you using?.. is there space on the other side of the casing?.. you should be able to hide the power cables there to make it look less messy..

another thing is are you still using the floppy drive?.. if not, take it out completely.. u can put one of your HD in its place and leave the bottom part of your casing empty for better airflow..

zx12, i'm agree with u about the cable, u think i should sell back the EL light?, Im using centurion 5 casing and yes i'm still using the floppy.

You could also surf around the cable management thread for a little inspiration. (like cable folding, hiding etc.)

just hide the cable in the HDD bay..huhu..that's what i am doing now..

I've done the cable management just as all of u told me to.. i took out the IDE EL light cables and SATA EL light. and replaced them with normal one and folded them. .. too many inverters in my pc... i left only my floppy EL Light cables....

i'll post up the pic later

Here are my suggestion:

Put all 3 of your optical drive to the top of your 5 1/2 " bay in case you still want to use 3 of them...then, use hard disk holder to put 2 of your hard disk to the 5 1/2 " bay there... like this you will have 2 empty hard disk bay in the bottom which will help for better air flow...

Click here for the hard disk holder in case you dun know how it look like...
