space them out a bit better. use the cable tie loops and a bit of black tape to stick them flatter. Its still a bit of a squeeze but the panel should fit back on. :)
 
Ok I've got a couple of questions, one of which is probably a bit daft!

While I wait for my GPU to come back from the manufacturer I've been thinking that I should get a fan for the side panel window of the Antec 1200 case to cool my graphics card / blow a bit more air into the case to keep things nice and cool. First up I'm looking for recommendations on what fan i should put in and secondly and most importantly how the **** do you connect it up as the panel closes the case :confused:

which fan have you got hooked up to the side panel? The reason i asked about connecting it up is that there are so many tidy cases, I couldnt see any way other than having a cable flapping about loosely to connect the fan to the mobo ruining the clean effect :)
 
I've been thinking the past day or two to make a few alterations to my pc in terms of case fans and cabling and I've got a few questions. This has all come about really from the posts I've made above. I'm waiting on the return of a graphics card (3weeks and still waiting :() and in the time since I've encountered a couple of pc issues which has made me think I should do a format and give my pc a bit of a tidy up inside.

I'm looking to replace one 250Gb HD with a 500Gb HD whilst keeping a second 250Gb along with the 1Tb HD for all my storage and backup.

From the customisation point of view I'm probably just going to start small time with some red and white cable braiding (red or white if i cant find a combo braiding) for the SATA cables and simply try some better cable management for some of the other cables. I'm also looking to replace the two rear fans and potentially the front three fans (need to see how to remove them first) and replace them with a combination of red and white fans like http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-000-XI&utm_source=froogle and something in white with a similar airflow if possible (any suggestions?) I'm sure I'm stuck with the Antec Big Boy fan on top but I can switch the LEDs off so it doesn't shine blue.

The questions are basically what fans white fans have decent airflow and is there such a thing as a red and white cable braid as I've only seen white or red (UV or non) but I guess the latter cant be mentioned because it would be a competitor! :o
