Antec 902 Cable Management

Pickett · 17 Sep 2009 at 11:32

Does anyone else find this a difficult case to get tidy cables with?

I don't know if it's down to the case, or my PSU (OCZ ModXStream 700W).

Trying to tidy things up, and for example, the motherboard power lead won't stretch out and around the back - my only choice is to have it going straight up.

It all looks very messy.

Any use?

Thanks - that may be my only option (aside from buying a different PSU).

I had to use an 8-Pin extension lead in my Antec 300 to get away from the cable running over the graphics card, no problem on the 20/24 pin front though.

I'm using the 4 pin extension on my 1200, but the 24 pin was fine.

I suggest that it is your psu as I have no trouble with my be quiet psu. Think I went through several bags of cable ties and cable tie mounts before I was happy though (has to be one of the most satisfying parts of a build is getting the cables just so)

Same for me, I needed an extension so the 4 pin didn't go across the front. The 24pin can be a bit of a pain to bend it in there but it should go.

Yep like others have already said seems extentions are needed but other than that i find the cable managment fine in my 1200, not sure how much the 902 differs tho.

Mine is atrocious at moment, gonna get new mobo etc in next week when im off work, so will get a bit tidier i hope

I have the ModStream version of the OCZ PSU which has braided wires which are extremely hard to bend an move around but can still get quite decent cable management out of it.

Don't ask! I have to put the case on it's side and lean on the cover to close it! lol

Ewanb75 · 18 Sep 2009 at 19:05

lol, same here, sure theres still a bulge :/

Well, I bought that 24 pin extender and it reaches around the back now.

Spent ages tidying things up earlier, and it looks much better now. Still not as neat as most, but so much better than before (shame I didn't take a pic of it previously).

Sorry that the pic is really bright.

I ran this 8 pin cable on top of the Corsair VX450w and up the side of the motherboard between PCI and graphics cards (there are notches in each card) which keep it nice and tidy and then into the 8 pin connector near the top of motherboard...
