Did you have any problems with cables or did all they fit even if they went round the back of the case for cable management?

I'm upgrading to this case soon and my biggest worry is that the cables won't fit, and extension cables aren't particularly cheap either when you add them all up.

Cheers.
 
I have a 932 too and the cables on my PSU all reached where I wanted them to go with no problems (Corsair HX520w) :)

I dunno if my PSU juts has extra long cables lol but I even have slack to play with on my cables...
 
I needed to purchase a 4 pin 12VATX extension (P45 m'board) and also a 24 pin extension. Everything else was fine though.

EDIT: Oh yeah, thought I'd say I'm using a OCZ 700W Modular PSU if that makes any difference.
 
To route everything around the back I had to use some of my PSU's longer cables, but it came with a selection for this very purpose, so in your case it will depend on that probably.
 
Appreciate the help guys. I think I will risk it then. My PSU should be fine (Corsair HX850w), if they don't fit through the cable management holes then I'll look into getting some extensions later on.
 
Just adding that my original cables did reach, but could not reach if routed behind the motherboard tray, which is why I bought the two extensions.
 
I only needed the included CPU power lead extension. I braided each wire induvidually too :D All mine fit behind, it does push off the side if you take out the thumb screws though. I also disconnected the USB3 lead, firewire and audio leads as I won't need them.
 
I needed the 8pin extension, but i did have one, i think it came with the case, but im not sure, maybe the psu :s.

I only just needed it, and if the 8pin was at the top of my motherboard i wouldnt have needed it.

Yeah was a bit like trying to close an overfull suitcase getting that back panel on :)

My side panel is a bit full too ;P, although i have seen pics on internet of people who have managed to have neat cables behing the motherboard tray too. I have not achieved this, but aslong as they fit and i cant see they from the front it doesn't bother me :)
 
Just checking in to ask if HX750W owners had any issues? any weird routing issues for cables and such?

And the side panel, is there not much room behind it for cables?
 
There is about 1" gap in the centre, and about half an inch around the edges. Plenty unless you have every HDD and drive bay full lol. I don't have the HX750, but I have the HX620 which I assume is very similar.
