[Sasso]

indeed btw, thats actually after i tried to clean it up a bit, you should have seen it before, but those IDE cables are getting annoying now, mabye antec 1200 is the way but it doesnt look as good as the 900

check that out m8.....the best cable managment ive seen for a 900 case

Have to admit the end result was very nice but for me personally seemed very extreme, I just couldn't wait that long, has to over with ASAP.

sepulchre, what power supply do you have it looks nice..

Its an OCZ 520W Modstream, but I'd recommend against it simply because the main mobo and gfx card cables are pretty rigid which makes routing them a pain.

I got a modstream last week and i'd have to agree. Its a very nice quiet psu, but the stiffness of the cables makes it hard to manage them and make the case tidy.

yea that part did look a bit stiff but i need to see the cables before i buy a new modular power supply , OCUK should put them on the website!

I've had that PSU for around a year now so maybe they have updated it?

thought i might post a quick picture of my 900

excuse the glare from the cold cathode at the top of the case.

my cable management isn't the best, but i plan to cut a few holes in my motherboard tray to keep the cables at bay later on.

only problem with the 900 is that there is no real hiding places for cables. the only place i found that isn't obvious is above my DVD drive.

the other problem is that the ATX motherboard cable is taught up against my 8800GTS' edge. but i suppose that's what you get for having an ATX PSU in a BTX laid out case.

ive ordered some stuff, will create a build thread, should be delivered on tuesday if ther are no problems, will do some cutting, and try to comment extensively on the corsair HX 620w and how tuniq tower handles, IP35 pro + antec 900. might go down ****** and buy some lights to jaz it up look out for it
