Cables are Tidy! (ish)

What do you think. Took me ages. Antec 900. Lengthened all the cables to the fans, put 3 pin plugs on each, and made a plug board to plug them into. All hidden away. Just cant think of where to go with the sata cables. I modified one cable from the corsair and moved the plugs around for the dvd drives. Routed as many cables under the mobo as possible (They are all held down with gaffa tape. Turned the drives around and used right angled plugs ( someone on here made me think hmmm, good idea that . . ).

Opinions?

Nice

but need a pic of the plug board tbh

Yeah as you said the only thing letting it down at the mo is the SATA cables, no chance of rooting them behind the HDD cage? Or at least behind the boards ATX cable?

DId you but the antec 900?

They arent very flexible. And the plug board is just 6 3-pin fan headers soldered to breadboard. Got the headers off an auction site. (0.1" pitch).

Not bad at all

Not bad, but could be better. Try routing your SATA cables behind the motherboard, and also the ATX power if possible.

The SATA cables are nowhere near long enough, and ATX is too thick. The 900 has no tray, so its hard to hide cables.

Not bad for an antec 900!
