Ive just finished building my budget PC (P4 3.06 HHz with HT, 2 GB kingston DDR, Ati Radeon 9600X Edition 256 MB) Runs great thinking of overclocking. But I have a problem, i dont look too good. All my wires are wrapped up in black PVC tape atm. Cant seem to find a nearby shop that dos sleeving.But there is too many. Mosty wires for fans. I have 2 fans nicly tucked away at the front of the case. But the Fan controler is at the front, how do i go out getting the fan wires from the back fans to the controler. :S Its baffling me. Also I have a Alsaka Heatsink, its got a fan on, but i have a seperate controler for that, 1 problem - it has 3 wires coming off it :O !!!!!!. Help! I have wires all over the place.

Depending on your case it may be possible to route the cables behind the motherboard tray, this is one of the most common methods of tidying up the wiring.

Also, if you are willing to spend money, braiding combined with heatshrink at the ends can also allow you to easily tidy wires, as well as conduit.

Forexample you could somehow attach conduits along the edges inside your case and pass wires through the tubing keepin it out of harms way

I can't seem to get the wires under the tray - No holes. I'll try feeding the wires around need some extension's though. maybe Overclockers have got some.

Post up some pictures, easier to see where the wires are going at the moment and then suggest a action plan

Off-topic, but isn't your Evo Cooler on t'wrong way round?

Looks pretty tidy. Push the IDE round cables to one side behind the drive cage (notice they're quite long and looping back on themselves)

Looks like it to me, i have mine tuver way round so that its blowing the air out the rear fan. Unless the fan is sucking air through the heatsink?.

Heatsink Fan is blowing air outta the back, so is the Blue LED fan, air flow is same way. I got that right (took me a while to figure out).
