Cables can be managed better.You can hide the cables behind the motherboard tray or near the HDD cage.

Personally I do not likes those comp table design, kinda they also need to revolutionizeee... Since today most people actually showing off their casing.
Well, first thing first... Fix those cables with anykind of creative way you can figure out. Sometime we just need to be creative rather than spend alot in accessories... |

Oh hei, I go to Popular just now and saw a cylinder-mesh-item-holder... You guys try guess what I will do with that... Tip : it really about 8cm size...
Well, I didn't spent much on modding. Just try to think what you can use with the items around you. A card board? Some uniqe wires? A tube? A hose? Kinda like junkyard............ XD This post has been edited by M1X: Feb 5 2009, 01:29 PM |
