Cable management for numpties

Will check out that mod...as for whether or not me mobo is full ATX...I don't know what that means :(

Once I've finished what I'm doing I'll find out what mobo is in there, should be able to answer the question that way.

And I'll add a pair of tights to the shopping list as well.

**ETA:

Its an Asus M2N4-SLI.

Full specs there, hopefully that'll answer the question of whether or not its ATX.

lol well tights come in 'denier' which is another word for how dense the fabric is, for dust filtration you want a LOW value, I used 15 which works well, you could go even lower but I wouldn't go higher:)

ah its normal ATX, I think my perspective is thrown off cos my graphics card is so huge...the clearance between it and the hardrive cage is 0mm lol

Hope I can help, the key to this case is cramming EVERYTHING behind the optical drive and hardrive bay, then only having the cables emerge to plug into the motherboard.
You can also hide uneeded psu wires by coiling them up and placing them above the psu and the top panel.

oh and as for cooling, adding this side panel dropped temps MASSIVELY and cools everything so well, it will however ingest dust:D
search for it online, I got it for £18 or something...


One last thing that really helped too, you know the honeycomb fan grills for the intake and exhaust fan? SNIP them off for 50% more airflow, the honeycomb design is old and bulky and obscures some 30% of the fan disc area! And it won't change the aesthetics of the case either, like this:

Cheers for the guide. My pc is in bits at the mo as the MB has been RMA back to another online shop (P5N32E-Sli). Will take some of this on board. I attempted to get most of the wire's down that side area of the case, but struggled with some things. Will have a better go at it when I get the parts back. Oh and there is 0mm clearance between my 8800GTX's and the HD cage.
