Hmm, that pic does look bad, but it must be the angle, as its not that bad square on. But I guess the droop is there as its lost the rigidity of the HSF.

Im reluctant to prop it as it will spil the look lol. But maybe a small bar at a right angle screwed to the mobo tray and coming out would be discrete.

Lecro, cheers, praise indeed.

Perry, nice idea, but Im not unsure I look it as it is. I dont spose it would be a real chore to braid the end of those wires.

Thanks for posting a link.

Also, an awesome mod like this belongs in our ENTHUSIASTS section if you care to take the time to post it.

Again, thanks for taking the time to do it. Professional mods and magazine builds are nice and all but, we really enjoy seeing what end users out there in the real world are doing. Your case, the build, and the mods could be very inspirational to others also.

Can't remember whose build it was but someone propped their card with a thin metal rod braided to match the cables and it fitted in really well.
