Good With Great Cable Management

[datawrite]

I am looking for a new case that is reasonably cheap £70 max, ish. Has superb cable management and awesome ventilation and is black.

Any ideas please?

Coolermaster cm690

You can have 7 fans in this case and is easy to keep the cables tidy.

Don't be afraid to attack the case with a holesaw for better cable management, makes for a far neater layout.

I need to re-do mine, I have always been No Swearing! at Cable Management, in fact i get so frustrated that my HDD aint even screwed in.

I have an Antec 900-2 case. Any tips?

A general tip if you want to get the best cable management would be to get a modular psu.

shouldnt be to hard on the 900-2 case. what i would do is unplug every cable, including both power and data cables. Then route all cables round the the back of the case and start plugging things in from there. Post a few pics if you want some help with your current situation.

Also get some cable tie and bases.

So, a 900-2 is the one to go for?

I do like the 300 but doesn't have good cable management.

Its not that its not possible to cable management in a 300, its just going to be a whole lot easier and look a lot better in the 900-2

Can the 300 back inner panel be cut to thread cables through?

Try the nzxt tempest, great case for the money.

You can but i can imagine it being tight as the only real area that cables can go/fit is the small area behind the hard drives. Cant be more than a few mm on if you were to drill holes and route around the motherboard tray

For the 300 it is essential to have a modular psu if you want to make a decent job at cable management.

Lian Li PC-7B?

Lian Li PC-7B?

Forgot about that case, that is also a great case for the money. Depends on what your going for though as you will get best cooling with the 900-2 and great style with the lian li. Choices choices...

This video should help you out with cable management in general

I would go for Lian Li PC-7. Thinking about getting PC-7F with window myself or PC-8 as i can get good price for them

i know its a pretty big chunk over the budget, but consider this:

after looking into it myself, it has awesome cable management potential.

Doesn't the PC-7F have the PSU at the top?

Another vote here for the PC-7, fabulous case for the money.
