Okay, so I've got an original Antec 900 which was a pre-built system to my specification. As you no doubt know, this case is notoriously bad for it's cable management, and it pretty much was non-existent when my PC arrived.
Here's some pics of the poor thing (rubbish quality from a video sorry):

Anyway, I decided to pick myself up a fully modular PSU. I ended up with the OCZ ZX 850W. It's far more than I need atm, but next year I plan to (hopefully) get an new mobo/CPU/ram set-up with, with hopefully SLI/Crossfire on the go. Waiting for the next generation of stuff to come out to see what it's like.
Anyway, I spent the best part of about 3 hours today replacing my PSU (bearing in mind I've never built a PC, and the most I've done is changed a graphics card).
Here's what I've ended up with:

What do you think?
While it isn't the cleanest it's the best I could do with what the case has offered me! Any tips or anything would be much appreciated though.
Saying that though I plan to get the Corsair White 600T for christmas, so I can really have better cable management - love the look of that case too. Will also prepare me for my new set-up next year which will go in there :)

Anyone else tried cable management on the Antec 900 then? Would love to see any results. I know it's an old case now though so many would have moved on to better things!

Looking good dude. Mine is a right state ill post some pics of mine later :o

Probably helps a lot that you have a modular psu. Decided on the 600t then?
 
Thanks! There's still lots of cable showing but without drilling its the best i can do lol.

And yep! Ordered from OCuk the other day, should arrive tomorrow! However, I won't be setting it up till christmas as my parents said they would pay for it as an xmas present lol. Which gives me more money to save up for a new mobo/ram/CPU/CPU cooler! Plus my dad will have half my old build then and he'll give me about 200 for it :) (the case, old PSU, my current mobo/cpu/cooler/ram.). I'll then build the rest using parts from his PC, such as DVD drive and HDD.

I don't mind waiting to use the case, as it took a lot of effort to get my antec 900 sorted out to a nice state. Would like to enjoy it for a bit!
