@ hypermax.

Your setup is off-tha-hook bro.
Seriously bad-ass.

Do you have the fans mounted on the Accelero coolers, or is it too tight for a CF setup?

I plan to do it the same way with my NVidia setup.

Cooler Master Centurion 5 - This case isn't really the best for cable management, as there is no way to get the cable from the 5" bays down to the GC's or HDD without having to go back out exposed.

Cable management can be better, but I'll be switching the PSU in a few days so I didn't spend too much time getting it solid.

That's the reason I've changed to CM690. Cannot really hide those cables in CM5.

Yeah? Better layout for cable management? I'll have to take a look, but I believe the last time I checked, the CM690 was quite a bit more expensive than the CM5. It's also a lot better for airflow/cooling vs CM5 - but I just bought this case a month ago, so...dunno what to do. =/

Yes, a lot better layout for cable management. Can put lots of fans also.
Sell the CM5 & get CM690. Or keep the CM5 for 2nd rig  biggrin.gif

*sigh*

How much is the CM690 going for these days?

Would you guys hate me if I jumped over to a Silverstone or a Lian Li? blush.gif

dont twirl ur sata cable......does nothing for cable management except making it look worse...

route them properly instead.
only twirl them if ur sata cable is something u wanna show off in a UV mod.

2nd.

Hide the cable. The Accelero looks good though, makes the setup look 10x better. =)

aBc...

I think you need to upgrade your case, your rear cooling fan is smaller than your CPU fan - impossible to discharge all the hot air...case will get very hot.

Use more ties to bundle the cables together.

Nice color setup but the worst cable management I've ever seen so far.
Hide or at least tie up those cables

lol. 2nd.

Them cables are everywhere. Impossible to hide in a clear case, best to tie them up and use a few well placed C-clips or something to get them in a nice path.
