Antec Nine Hundred 5.25" -> 3.5" converter

Hi there, I recently purchased an Antec Nine Hundred, and well have a slight problem with cable tidy Operations.

Any Antec Nine Hundred owners out there care to offer any advice??

Included a Picture of the inners of my new(ish) Build.

Most usual places to hide the cables are in the drive bays and behind the mobo tray.

Move that bottom hard drive up a level and put as much cabling under neath it as posssible.

Any one actualy manage to fit the 5.25" -> 3.5" converter becuse i couldnt figure it out. I mean how the hell do i get my multi card reader to fit into this silly thing??

Thanks! for all the ideas, I will post again when i make a sucsessful cable tidy mission!

Yeah, but i forget how it goes in . . . .
Sit the card reader on the converter, then piut it in the case. The converter aligns with the rear of the bay. and the card reader sticks out of the front a canny distance.

I musta spent half a day trying to tidy my case wires with cable managment but the Antec 900 isnt designed for cable managment at all

Even after 3 hrs my case looked like yours

Moduallar p/s would help a bit I guess, but ultimately a better classed case like the Antec 182 or a big BIG case would have plenty of space for cable managment.

Thats the route im taking cos ive just sold off my Q6600/Antec 900 system and will go Antec 182 route + akasa cpu extention cable

I cut holes in my tray to rute the cables the other way and used UV sleeeving/cables to tidy the visable cables, but still need some lengthening of the usb etc to hide those.

Get an extender for the 8-pin aux cable, then you can run it around the edge of the board rather than over the top. I've had to dismantle mine to RMA the m/b so no photos, but I used the 8800GTX to hold most of the cables down to the side of the case!
