Hmm that should be my case but i don't have those holds for cables? D:

stulid · 27 Apr 2011 at 01:08

It must be a newer revision of the case?

belial8321 · 27 Apr 2011 at 01:17

Yeah, after reading the comments it appears that the case has a revision which i don't have

Perhaps you can get some cable tie bases that are self adhesive?

Best way to manage a cheap case. I use them to keep cables fastened to the wall behind my desk as well.

Thing is this wasn't a cheap case :O i am hoping on getting a new one soon, fractal i think i decided on, hoping that has cable management features!

Me too, I finally ordered and its here tomorrow! It seems to come included with some ties and it has the ability to store the PSU cables behind the MB so its got the potential!

Oo! Take pics and tell me how it went in this thread if you get chance please mate!

i would do some cable management in mine, but i need extensions and the 8pin is too short, so it has to go under my gfx card.

There is no "tutorial", just look at the case in hand, work out where wiring can be hidden, extend where necessary, and above all, try to keep the airflow clean (so no hiding all the cables in empty drive bays in front of the intake fans!

Have a look in my (now ancient) thread, here

instead of those sticky things, you could just use a long cable tie or a piece of string going around the bits where the side panels clip into the case, making a bar near the base or top of the case

Is it worth drilling holes in my antec 900? for cables?

belial8321 · 27 Apr 2011 at 14:56

And paradigm thats very nice cable management, i dont think i can do it that well
