Cables/Lights/Cable management suggestions

[Trizzay]

I've got my new system up and running, and now I'd like to improve the looks of it. I have the black Tsunami Dream case with the window. For now I've just got the old school flat cables in there, and it doesn't look very good at all. I'd like some suggestions to really make this thing look clean. I don't want anything crazy, just some simple things I can put in as far as lights, cables, etc that will give it a good look. Thanks!

i got alot of stuff at case-mod.com for pretty cheap
for $35 dollars i got
2x thermatake smart fan ii's
1x uv blue rounded ide
1x uv blue rounded floppy
1x dual cathode 12inch blue
1x blue power supply sleeving uv kit

all that for 35 shipped one day shipping. just browse around casemod or www.svc.com. newegg isnt really the best placfe to get accessories, and i dont really like frozencpu or xoxide

You know you need _UV_ cold cathodes in order to take advantage of all that UV stuff, right?

wow, nice SkyBum, i wish mine looked like that.

Well, anyways, when my B-Day comes around October, i wanna get the Big Water (hopefully if they have a blue LED fan option), those cold cathode lights, and some smaller (and shorter) round cables

Thanks for the motivation!!!

oh, BTW, what kinda watercooling setup is that?

Koolance EXOS.

You could do better performance wise with a custom set-up but I chose it for the ease of set-up. It was a breeze to install.

Hey, what type of sleeving is that you've got around all the cables? It looks really good, I just need to be pointed in the right direction of what to buy.

those are the cables that come with the X-connect.

They do look very nice but I would not recommend them in a very compact case as they are not as flexible as they should be. Also the X-connect itself is the subject of a lot of controversy here at anandtech. Many people feel that they are subpar for a performance system. If you want a sweet looking PSU fine, if you want a top performing PSU, you can do better.
