@wen9x88,
It is suggested that don't make the SATA cable in spiral shape, let it go straight instead. No need to use those cable management clips, remove 'em & hide the cables behind mobo tray.

mADmAN, can do better. Hide those cables as possible as u can. Sumbat 'em through the hole.
PS: The eSATA cable, it's not hiding but exposing

Yes, I like it so much but cable management is worst than before after changing to Xigmatek 750W cos the 4+4pins connector cable is too short.
Will try to get an extension for this cable asap. Dun wan the worms stay in my casing biggrin.gif

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

Do anything that can hide the cables as possible as u can. The cable connecting the side fan is the most annoying. I would just remove it from destroying my eyesight. The purple light can be placed 1 vertically while another one horizontally at the bottom. Tide up the green cables inside the HDD/DVDROM bay

Then what's the point of sleeving if you're gonna hide them all. Unless you sleeve them black la

Cable sleeving is for better airflow more important than beautify ur casing IMO.
Anyway, it's up to u depends on personal perception & interest whistling.gif whistling.gif
