@creep
tie all those cables in a big bundle and put it somewhere near the cd-rom bay area. you can also place the cable behind the motherbard, i mean near the right side panel.
the shortest route of cable to your componenet is never the best routing method because it will make the cable "crawl" acros your motherboard...thus looks messy. try to route it nicely as if you were making a road. this method requires you to have sufficient cable length.

Hi, can anyone advise me on how to route the cables at the back? I mean like, I've 6 fans inside my CM690, and the molex always "kacau" when I try to close the door at the back...
Or any sifu can show some picture of their rig's other side? The back where all the wire are hidden.

I saw this picture of CM690 on another forum.   Very nice job indeed. I noticed that he has one molex that can connect to two fans 3pin input. Is there something similiar sold here in Malaysia?

Hi, going to post my first cable management! Did a few on my previous rigs, but.. I would say those are really crap lol. After looking at a lot of pictures, I finally had an idea how a decent cable management should be like. This is the first time ever I've spend so much time on cable management, so go easy on me » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « SATA cable to the DVD is just too short, can't route it to the back. Might buy a longer one so that I could hide it from the back later on. Warning : Home of cacing ahead » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « uglyvamp didn't reply me and I could tahan, so I cut those 3pin and combined them into one molex. (4 on each molex). Still very messy... but was way better than before. Another problem I'm facing is, this Huntkey PSU has VERY long wiring... So hard to hide them  .
