Just looking for pics off your neat and tidy rigs for some tips on cable management, I find it a lot easier seeing a pic and trying to do it to my own rig than someone telling me what to do

Lets see your PC's

BEn_2600+, can I see a photo of your case with the side panel removed so as to reveal the PSU/HDD compartment? I'm interested in how you ran your power cables.

Here you go

Thanks for the illustrative photos, Ben. Is that an extra long SATA cable? My mobo's SATA ports are in a similar location and my HDD is in the same slot but I find they don't reach the drive if I try to snake it around behind the 5.25" bays.

Are you not using the case's front USB/Firewire (I know the DS3 doesn't have FW ) and audio ports? I've got mine all attached and it un-pretties up that region of the case.

Ive just got the front USB connected and the SATA cable is 60cm i think, my standard DS3 cable wouldn't fit the way it is now

Here's my 2 cents,

It's no way near as tidy as the aboves, but you definatly dont wanna see in the bottom of the case!

Wow! Nice Setup

BEn_2600+, I see you managed to fit your Ultra 120 the other way around in the end. Looks a lot tidier than the first picture you posted in OC & Cooling!

yeah after seeing your rig i was determined to get it that way round, its a tight fit but better

My aim was to make it neater too, the cable sleeving help a lot

thats much better Billy! Just need a longer SATA cable and that will be superb! Nice job

BEn_2600+ · 26 Apr 2007 at 20:43

Thats pretty good to say how much stuff you have in there shame about the ribbon cable but its not too bad

Oooooohh... nice case.

Love mine Wish it was as tidy as yours though

Thanks, get some pics posted you know you want to

The board is the wrong way round because its inverted ATX its just how that case is designed
