My new rig

You know the graphics power cables? I wouldn't put them through the grommets you have, I would put them through the same gromets as the 24pin, or the grommet below.

Would look much neater

Yeah I totally agree with you on that one. Just need to grab a couple of extension cables for the PCI-E leads, as they aren't long enough to reach otherwise. They are a bit unsightly where they are now.

Nice setup, have no complaints with my 800d

Are the cables short on the PSU to put them behind the panel and through the gromit on the motherboard base, I use the Pc Power & Cooling PSU and the leads are long enough.

Yeah unfortunately the PCI-E leads on the Corsair Gold Professional PSU are just a little too short for routing round the back of the Obsidian case. Had to buy an extension cable for the EATX 12v lead too. It's a shame really considering all the other cables are quite long. Ah well, it's not a great problem - just need to grab a few extension cables so I can route them behind properly.

Lol, you should see it up close. It's a mean looking card, and it weighs a bit too. Couldn't believe the size of it when I first unpacked it. But it does its job as far as cooling goes, and stays very quiet even when gaming.

Awesome build m8 just wish I could make mine look the same (or similar) with my Antec 1200 case no matter what I do I end up with cables everywhere

Thanks mate. To be honest it's more down to the Corsair case being so well designed for cable management, than it is to any actual skill on my part. My previous builds in other cases certainly never looked so neat, lol. Those rubber grommets on the Corsair are a blessing when it comes to routing cables, plus there is a decent sized void behind the motherboard section to tuck all those unsightly excess cables away.
