change rig every 3 months? rich guy spotted
anyway, at least hide ur cables in unused cdrom bay, luckily that the cables are sleeved, otherwise it would be messier

i thought the HDD cables should be hidden behind instead of being shown in front? and can't the exhaust fan be connected straight to mainboard instead of using molex?

just to share
although not really good, but can give you an idea of how to make it tidier, sleeve up PSU cables, and tie them up that way, hide in the unused bays

sleeving kits

there are pins on the motherboard that allows you to connect your fans to them
remove the 3-pin to molex converter on your exhaust fan, then connect the fan (3 pins) directly to the motherboard, should have labels (e.g. Fan1, Fan2) there

u can ask moderno to post to you
so did you connect your fan directly to motherboard? found the pin?

don't need extra cable for that
iianm most fans come with the 3-pin cables, but most users use the 3-pin to molex converter (as shown in the picture that i provided in previous posts) to connect directly to the PSU

not sure if the sleeving kit available in LowYat though

tried managing my cable sopen2003 style, but there is too little space behind the motherboard and 5.25" bay, no way to slip through all my PSU cables (quite alot). so i just tied em' up, put in 5.25" bays and arrange in a way that it won't be that messy from outside

[attachmentid=784877]
that's the best i could do, too many unused cables, and all sleeved, tried to hide behind but can't
not to mention the 24 pin position on the mainboard not that good

i use molex for 2 items: DVDROM and intake fan. perhaps i should get myself a SATA DVDRW in the future. IDE cable is very hard to manage, luckily that mine is black

perhaps i should try detaching both side panels and try to arrange nicely when i am free next time. for now, as what tomatos said, just bundle them up to provide better airflow

i did hide the unused SATA connector behind 3.5" bays though, and ensure that the wires all be hidden as much as possible

and there is no hole for me to slip my connector through, i think thats the best solution for my 24-pin

24 pin cable routing perhaps could be done, but i afraid it might obstruct the airflow to the PSU (the fan is located at the bottom), but will try nonetheless, thanks !!!!

about the dvdrom part, i prefer to make it at the top, looks nicer from outside

many CM690 users managed to manage their cables nicely, shud not be a problem
only Elite user like me having trouble, lol

thanks for the advice
will try to do those when i am free
but i think i will leave the IDE cable that way for now
going to get a pair of blue CCFL to bling up my PC next week
