Just looking for pics off your neat and tidy rigs for some tips on cable management, I find it a lot easier seeing a pic and trying to do it to my own rig than someone telling me what to do :)

Lets see your PC's :D
 
Here's min as it is at the mo:

i recomend you steal me some lol... i think ive got about 8 diffrent sizes (one as big as a belt)

my case isnt tidied but its getting changed this week.. if you want to go extreme cutting a hole in the mobo tray to feed wires under the tray and to the side of the board (power cables for the board and hdd cables ect)
also puting your hdd's in the cages backwards is a good way to tidy
 
BEn_2600+, can I see a photo of your case with the side panel removed so as to reveal the PSU/HDD compartment? I'm interested in how you ran your power cables.
 
Thanks for the illustrative photos, Ben. Is that an extra long SATA cable? My mobo's SATA ports are in a similar location and my HDD is in the same slot but I find they don't reach the drive if I try to snake it around behind the 5.25" bays.

Are you not using the case's front USB/Firewire (I know the DS3 doesn't have FW ;) ) and audio ports? I've got mine all attached and it un-pretties up that region of the case.

Ive just got the front USB connected and the SATA cable is 60cm i think, my standard DS3 cable wouldn't fit the way it is now :)
