Case: Lian Li v2100A Plus
PSU: FX700-GLN (6 x sata, 6 x molex, 2 x floppy)
MB: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum nForce4 Ultra

Example layout:
[ FDD ]
[ MOLEX CONTROLLER CARD]
[ MOLEX DVD ]
[ MOLEX DVD ]---------------------------[ MOLEX FAN ]

-------- [ MOLEX or SATA ] [ MOLEX or SATA ]
-------- [ MOLEX or SATA ] [ MOLEX or SATA ]
-------- [ MOLEX or SATA ] [ MOLEX or SATA ]
-------- [ MOLEX or SATA ] [ MOLEX or SATA ]
-------- [ MOLEX or SATA ] [ MOLEX or SATA ]
[ MOLEX FAN ] [ MOLEX or SATA ] [ MOLEX or SATA ]-----[ PSU ]

My idea is this:
1) Floppy will be powered using a single FDD power cable directly from the PSU
2) Two molex power connectors directly from the PSU will go to the controller card, and then another will contain a 3" y spliter to power the two MOLEX DVD drivers that fit below the controller card
3) 6 sata power connectors directly from the PSU will connect one rack of hard drives (MOLEX or SATA from above), 3 molex power cables from the PSU will go to the other set of hard drives, each end will contain a 3" y splitter.

The remaining molex power cables will be used to power the 3 fans.

My PSU cables are already sleeved, I have a 100 pack of cable ties, and will get 50 or so cable tie mounts.

Suggestions/comments are welcomed.
 
Buy all of the items.
Install them as you tried to diagram.
Take a lot of pics.
Wait for critiques and / or raves.
Rearrange and repeat.
 
"Rearrange and repeat."
- As long as my computer can still turn on, I doubt I will repeat!!!!!!!!! I was tired enough after I built the comp the first time.
