Hey,

I have an Antec 300 case, and I was wondering, how the hell can I tidy all of my wires up, they're everywhere, it's hard to put them in the little place built fro them as some aren't long enough to go there. Any help?

hmm, id recommend unplugging everything and starting a fresh.

when you plug everything back in, take time with each cable and plan out where you could hide it best.

try to keep everything over to the right, and hide what you can behind the hard drive cage using cable ties.

I plan on doing that soon anyway, when I get some more fans, I will be trying to hide it all out the way, just when I get 3 new fans there will be less room to move it. Luckily my dad has 1000's of cable ties for work, so that shouldn't be a problem.
 
Hmmm, I think I will do that on Friday or Saturday then, I just chucked everything in because I was getting frustrated when I was putting other parts in, I really want to get rid of my mobo, it sucks so hard.

it is possible if you take your time.

this is mine not so long back, although i did only have one hard drive and one cd drive which i would imagin made things a lot easier for me.

Taking my time isn't something I like doing xD I only chucked it all in because my mobo is just made for the old case it was in, which is why I want to get a new one, so it's not such a pain when connecting the power button. Anyway, wow, nice job, I might just do it tonight or tomorrow, maybe tonight since I feel motivated to do it now....

That is a good question, it'd be nice to see.

Interesting - anyone got one they can post a picture of..?
Having admired the skills of Blackhawk47 and FaceplantSi just to name 2 it would be nice to see what OcUK do on their own builds...

I have to say, both there cables are well hidden, I can't wait to try the same.

Silenced - the best fun I have had for ages was my first attempts at modding a case and tidying some cables - so rewarding, yet slightly sad to be able to say that was the MOST fun - 20 years of marriage and my fun comes from a computer case......

Wow, I have to say, that is kinda sad.

I have a load of cable ties I can use, but I was thinking, couldn't I use like velcro straps to fold cable on itself and keep it in that shape, so I can change it easily if I wanted
 
Well I wish I hadn't done that, sorted all my cables out, now PSU is dead, so I gotta send it back, now I have to pull all the wires out again. Annoying or what...
