Great job with the cable management.

Just swapped my rig out of the PC-A71 into the PC-B25F

I'm liking the downsize to midi from full-tower but wish the B25F also had a door like the A71 -

The original B25 had a door. It was a shame to see that go with the B25F.

Not a new case but i just cut holes for an extra 140 in the front and 2x120 in the top.

Sorry for the poor lighting.

Share your cable management secrets Sensei!

Are they all tucked under the Mobo tray? Love what you've done with what I think is the DX2 Soundcard, neatest build I've seen in a longtime. Feel free to tell me more about this as its what I'm looking to recreate

The sound card is a Xoner Xense, i cut a slot the height of the motherboard just behind on the right where i stick most cables, i use the CPU cut out for the CPU power cable and fan cables. apart from that i use lots of cable ties and cable tie clamps (or what ever they are called). Behind the motherboard tray is nowhere near as tidy, wish i knew how to cut cables to size as the the side panel bulges slightly when on ^.^.

Yes - I remember the older B25 case

use to be one of the best mini / midi tower cases around. I'm loving the B25F though, it has brought my temps down a bit from the A71 which is always good! must be due to those massive 140mm fans and losing the removable hard disk tray.

LOL - excellent cable management Brodie! - which braided cables did you use btw? - I had to lean on top of the panel on my B25F to get it to shut lol need a modular power supply really or to shorten the cables if I was brave and didn't want to reuse the PSU in another build later...

I used BitFenix Alchemy cables, i too had to lean on mines like a suit case

Bought this lovely case for £47 mint condition

Put two of my Noctua NF-P12's in the front.

Waiting on components to build the PC.

TJM 83 you loop that well, loving the blue color match... This rig is looking more tidy than BMW m3! Well done!

Really want to move my main system to something m-itx now.

Looks like an 80's microwave.

Heh, but it is classy cute! Reminds me when I first discovered oven chips in those black cardboard boxes with the silver backing.

Sorry for the noisy photos, I'm rubbish at taking pictures. I should have rotated that fan on the radiator so that the cable would be easier to hide, might get round to that at some point though I felt like I needed two pairs of hands when putting the damn thing together!

I need to buy braided PCI-e cables and a nice braided ATX cable as at the moment it's looking a bit crappy. When I get a free afternoon I'll route that audio cable around the back so that it isn't hanging over the top of the PSU and I'll get around to tidying up the rest when I have time. I forgot to plug the USB in for the Corsair Link software so at the minute it's whisper quiet on the desktop and hurricane level when playing games, not ideal.

Personally I'd rotate the whole rad so the tubes are at the top. That way they're routed up and over the top of the board.

That's probably the best solution to be honest, thanks!
