Cable changing
- Thread starter Phil2008

What do you think of it so far guys? Ive turned the hdds around to show off the cables(not sure about that) and Ive flipped the psu upside down because I think the fan is much nicer then looking at a black lump of plastic
I should have it all done tomorrow,, I can only go slow at these sort of jobs as I have cerebral palsy

I had to see what it looked like with gfx card in before going to bed, and yeah you might be right about the hdds. But someone on here had the hdds turned around the other way, and I thought it didnt look too bad, plus it means a hdd change is nice and easy.
That's what I was basically suggesting to phil on msn. Braided cables want to be minimalist and tastefully done, not loosely hanging down like someone dropped their spaghetti in his case by mistake.
They should all look similar to the way he's done the 24 pin, which looks nice. The one over the cpu cooler could do with being much shorter too but I don't know if his case can accommodate it any other way.Yeah, looking great though, sorting out cables can be an absolute pain though. All you want to do sometimes is just play on the PC haha.
Don't want the guy thinking we are trying to be nasty. Much easier for us to spot whats wrong when we haven't put any effort into it and our fingers don't hurt.
EDIT: Small tip, try and cable tie those front panel wires to the fans if you can will make them harder to spot.

Awesome, another small tip, sometimes using a cable tie behind the grommet (the side you can't see) can help keep the cable grouped up a little better.
Doesn't always work but worth a go if you can be bothered.
Looking awesome though.
EDIT: Great tool for safely removing cable ties, nail clippers...

God that took some doing but its now finished, will prob be tweaking it in the next few weeks or so.
I left the hdds as they are, because I couldnt be bothered with all those cables a 2nd time around, plus I had a job to get the side panel on, without the adding of more cables to that side.

I have slightly tweaked the inside of my case by removing hdd trays that are not in use, got rid of the cables behind the hdd cage and manage to split the NZXT 4 SATA cables up, as I couldn't make them tidy in the sleeve, plus now I have a white sata cable for the DVD drive.
Does it look better without the hdd trays in? Also before you say it, no I haven't turned the hdds around cos I think looks good with the hdd cables on show, and it makes things so much easier to change/add hdds. Plus when I get a side panel with a window you wont see the hdds, so no problem.

Hehe, thanks. The motherboard cable wasn't long enough to go behind the tray before, thats why I had it snaking its way to the top of the board
