Spent the best part of 5 hours yesterday dusting, and re arranging the cables in my case yesterday to provide better air flow in and out of my case.

Was really surprised and actually impressed with the results, so thought id share it with you all.

Managed to use 3 less modular cables

Opinions and suggestions to make it even tidier appreciated :).

Good job. Would the 4/6 pin mobo power not fit around the back?

Oh wait, I see there's no hole for it. Perhaps you should make one.

I considered that, need to get a dremel though, then id have to learn how to use it hehe.

The 8 pin cable originally was over the top of the graphics card and then rubbed along the cpu heatsink fins which i didnt like, realised their was a small cutting underneath pci and graphics cards and thats the way its been since :).
 
The only way you will get it much tidier than what you have is to make a hole or 2 to allow for better cable routing.

Here's a system I put together a while ago for a friend. 2 holes drilled, a 8 pin extension and plenty of cable ties was all it needed. Should give you some ideas...

Wow that is a tidy 300 Diggsy, definately made me want to drill some holes and get myself an 8 pin extension cable.

Only disadvantage is that my setup has dual cathodes and a fan controller which means more cables, more mess hehe.
 
Nice work NeoVo you've gotten yours about as tidy as an unmodified 300 can get I'd wager. I definitely need to go down the route of dremelling some holes in the mobo tray next time I get my penguin open.
