Nice work there Billy

. I spent a while sleeving some of my cables some time ago and it turned out quite well...and then the sleeving started coming out and i concluded that i suck at cable sleeving

O/T is that one of those Lian Li hdd modules that go in the 5.25" bays? If so then would it fit in a case where there are little 'ledges' that stick out in the 5.25" bays for the DVD drives to sit on or would those get in the way? I'm thinking of getting one of these or similar for my drives. Thanks

The tiny ledges won't bother it, I don't think, because the sides seemed designed to miss them.

Ah excellent. Thanks a bunch

I take it your is the EX-33A?

EDIT: One last thing, did it come with rubber hard drive grommets like on this model http://www.lian-li.com/product/EX-34-a.jpg?

Thanks

heres my attempt:

im a bit stuffed by the ribbon from my 4 year old terratec dmx sound card, its a great card though so im reluctant to get a new one

BEn_2600+ · 26 Apr 2007 at 20:43

Thats pretty good to say how much stuff you have in there shame about the ribbon cable but its not too bad

Tom84 · 26 Apr 2007 at 21:04

Loving this thread, im a huge sucker for cable management and most of you have done superb jobs especially those with the Lian-Li's because they look a royal pain in the ass to keep clear

Good job people

cheers mate, good link, but i wouldnt chance cutting my ide up as its 4 year old card so if i sliced a wire i doubt it would be easy to get a replacement

i sorted it anyway by running it behind my motherboard tray

It looks long enough to be easily tucked behind the mobo should you ever feel bothered enough to want to take the mobo out.

I had a proper go at tidying my stacker, will post pics when the camera is charged.

My first proper go at keeping things tidy:

Oops missed that, nice job

Mekrel · 6 May 2007 at 20:45

Holes in mobo tray make it a lot easier

Minstadave · 6 May 2007 at 21:07

Simple yet very effective, should route the PCI-E cable through the hole too, but can't see if you can run from the PSU compartment up the back of the mobo tray.

Is that a precut hole or one you made yourself? Looks very neat.

Mekrel · 6 May 2007 at 21:13

I cut that one myself, sold the case now but it got completely trashed in transit. I'm claiming on the insurance

Have a PC343B build going on at the moment.
