Hi Si - thats the sort of answer I expect from you - wise words !!
As the main power cable are 20/24 cables or 8 cables, I intend to cut the braiding off mine to allow for flattening out of the bundled cables behind the mobo (No easy to cable manage case for me, you lightweight !!) and will work following your ideas. Having just got me a Noctua cooler I am getting ever more impatient to get my new case and fans out here to get started !

Sounds good m8, you'd better post up some pics when you finally get that case out there!

Get some black ones - they do wonders for hiding them away

Drill a hole under the motherboard tray and then run the sata cables under the motherboard ( they'll fit ) and then though the hole out of sight

Is that a huge piece of heatshrink you've used for the fan cables to run through EdGey? Nice usage if so - I might look to get some really big stuff to just to act as flexible conduit, could be useful!

lol.. just had a thought - if a fan failed and temps got too high in the case it'd shrink and you'd never get the cable out!

lol, lets hope it never gets that hot!

Bradley.. thats ridiculous!

Bradley8988 · 13 May 2009 at 21:37

lol not mine. I expect my build to be as good though

Just a very good example of what can be done with time and money.

Ucof · 13 May 2009 at 21:48

But still...

Would like to see the other side though!
